I/O port functions

Zigbee SoC Board V2 (ZTU)

  1. Jumper switches (P9 and P8), used to change the mode of the user port. Placing a jumper cap on PB1-TXD and PB7-RXD enables the module’s pin to connect to the TX and RX pins. Placing a jumper cap on PB1-U_RXD and PB7-U_TXD enables the module’s pins to connect to the U2 chip so that the user port can communicate with the module through the micro-USB port.

  2. Micro-USB (P2): Provides 5V DC voltage or acts as a serial port.

  3. DC-005 (P1): Provides 12V DC voltage.

  4. Button (S2): Connected to the PA0 pin on the module. When the button is pressed, a low level is output. When the button is released, a high level is output.

  5. Serial port (P3): Used to flash firmware to the ZTU module.

  6. Button (S1): Connected to the RST pin on the module. When the button is pressed, a low level is output, with the module being reset.

Load-carrying capacity

  • When DC-005 inputs 12V DC voltage, the board can supply power to external components.

    Power pin Rated voltage/current
    VIN Depends on the input current of the adapter connected to the DC-005 terminal.
    5V 5V/1A
    3V3 3.3V/0.6A

    This board outputs rated power of 5W, which cannot support the long-time simultaneous output of 5V/1A and 3.3V/0.6A.

  • Characteristics of the output voltage of 5V

    Output voltage 5.01V 5.00V 4.99V 4.98V 4.98V 4.97V

    We tested the voltage under the condition that there is no output voltage on the 3V3 pin.

How USB-to-TTL works

  • The board has a built-in USB-to-serial chip. The single-channel USB port can provide one extended serial port. You can use a jumper cap to allow the user port on the module to connect to the USB-to-serial chip.
