RE Mote: Enhancements from Rev.A to Rev.B

Javier Sanchez edited this page Nov 7, 2016 · 9 revisions

These are the most important enhancements from Revision A:

  • Replaced "Low Power PIC" PIC12F635 for PIC16F1509, to extend the number of pins and peripherals
  • Simplified "shutdown mode" operation, now commands are sent over I2C to the "Low Power PIC"
  • PIC low power now is powered over battery and USB, solving an errata in battery management
  • NanoTimer (TPL5110DDCT) was removed and now shutdown scheduling is managed by the RTCC and PIC low power.
  • Replaced LED RGB (ASMB-MTB0-0A3A2).
  • RTCC Interrupt 1 is now connected to PD3 pin from CC2538.
  • Added battery monitoring via the "Low Power PIC", readable over I2C command.
  • Improved noise prevention in USB transmission lines.
  • Changed I2C Interrupt/Generic pin to PD0 from CC2538.
  • Mapped TDI and TDO pins to LED's to save more pins, the LEDs can be disabled if needed by desoldering a resistor.
  • ADC3 (5VDC supply voltage) impedance was improved
  • Changed CC1200 LDO to provide a 3.3V supply instead of 3V.
  • Fixed silkscreen pinout assignations.
  • Added 1 extra pin exposed on each external connector (JP5 and JP6)
  • JTAG pins (TMS, TCK) are not exposed on lateral connectors, just only through the JTAG connector.
  • Pitch between external connectors are now 2.54 mm multiple, compatible with most protoboards.
  • Modified Battery pin-out orientation over an additional connector, to allow connect the battery with a standard connector and place inside the RE-Mote enclosure
  • Improved labelling on PCB for correct indication to user (USB and switch indicators, ...).
  • PA6 and PA7 mapped to the microSD SEL/CSn are exposed in the JP5 connector, to allow use as ADCx/AINx if a 0Ohm resistor is removed
