CC3000 BoosterPack Evaluation Board

2.1 BoosterPack Board Top View

Figure 2-1 Table 2-1 describe the key parts and jumpers mounted on top of the CC3000 BoosterPack

board. Table 2-2 describes the J2 configuration of the CC3000 evaluation module (EM) board. Table 2-3

and Table 2-4 describe the signals on J11 and J12.

Figure 2-1. BoosterPack Board Top View

Table 2-1. Key Parts of CC3000 BoosterPack Board Top View

Part Name Description

CC3000MOD Core module for performance evaluation (for more information, see the CC3000 module

datasheet)

Antenna Can be used for radiated testing by reworking the capacitor to correct pads

J1 U.FL RF connector used for conductive power tests

J2 Used to swap between test mode and operation mode. When pins 2 and 3 are shorted, J2 runs in

operation mode. When pins 1 and 2 are shorted, J2 runs in test mode.

J11 Through-hole test points (for more information, see Table 2-3)

J12 Through-hole test points (for more information, see Table 2-4)

J13 Used to switch between external power and power from the motherboard. Can be used for power

measurements. Connect pins 1 and 2 for power from the LaunchPad flash programmer and

debugging tool. Connect pins 2 and 3 for external power.

Part Name Description

J14 DC jack for external power supply. If power is not supplied from the motherboard, ensure that

external power is applied.

Table 2-2. J2 Configuration of the CC3000 Evaluation Module Board

Mode Description

Test mode: CC3000 radio Connect pins 1 and 2. Test mode is used with the CC3000 radio tool to operate, test, and

tool(1) calibrate the CC3000 chip-set designs during development. This tool uses the RS232/UART pins

to run radio frequency (RF) RX and TX tests on the CC3000 module. For more information, see

the CC3000 wiki.

Functional mode: Normal mode Connect Pins 2 and 3. Normal mode is for regular functionality between the host platform and the

CC3000 module.

(1) For more information about test software for the PC, go to the CC3000 wiki at

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Wi-Fi_for_MCU.

The ACX ceramic mounts on the BoosterPack board with a specific layout and matching circuit for the

radiation tests conducted in FCC, CE, and IC certifications. Figure 2-3 shows the location of the ACX

ceramic antenna on the BoosterPack board and the RF trace routing from the CC3000 device to the

antenna. Figure 2-3 shows the matching circuit between the antenna and the BoosterPack board.
