2.3 ATA8350 Demo Kit Components

The ATAUWB-EK1 board allows an addition to supply the board with 12V instead of 5V from the USB connection. With jumper J8, the 5V supply can be selected from the 12V DC/DC converter or from the 5V USB connector. The connector J1 provides the connections for the CAN and LIN drivers. For the CAN driver, the load resistors R15 and R18 are mounted and must be removed when they are not used as an end node of the CAN network.

The following figure shows details about the connector and buttons of the demo boards. The shutdown button is used to stop the application of the node and to power-down the ATA8350 UWB device. It is recommended the application be shut down before switching off the power supply. The reset button restarts the software application. The following figure explains how to mount the SMA antenna, and how to connect the USB cable.

The Verifier node has an additional jumper J4 to select the distance measurement mode, as described in Demo VRPR Software Application.
