5.1 CryptoAuth PRO Trust Platform Connections

The 2-lead XSFN features a dedicated SWI-PWM connection through the mikroBUS header, allowing it to interface directly with the mikroBUS host header on the PRO Trust Platform or any PIC®/AVR®/SAM MCU host development board equipped with a mikroBUS header. On the PRO Trust Platform, the SWI-PWM connection is always routed to the host microcontroller.

Connecting the 2-Lead XSFN to the CryptoAuth PRO Trust Platform

  1. Configure the EV14Y33A board to the desired mode, as described in Modes of Operation.
  2. Set the switches on the CryptoAuth PRO Trust Platform to disable the on-board devices. Note that the SW500_1 switch will have no effect on this mikroBUS board. This setting is highlighted in bold and italic below:

    N/AOFFYesNo
  3. Connect the two boards as shown in the following figure.

    Remember: The angled notch on the 2-lead XSFN must be aligned with the angled line on the silk screen near the mikroBUS connector.
  4. Connect a USB cable between the CryptoAuth PRO Trust Platform and the host system where the software is being developed.
  5. Launch the appropriate software tools for your application or use case.
