DLP-RF2PROTO

PRELIMINARY

Prototyping Platform for the DLP-RF2 Transceiver

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The DLP-RF2PROTO makes easy work of experimenting with the DLP-RF2 transceiver. It is perfectly

suited for easily connecting the DLP-RF2 transceiver to a host Windows/Linux/Mac PC via USB interface

such that proposed serial host firmware can be modeled before being programmed into your dedicated

microcontroller. Using the Virtual Com Port (VCP) drivers, the USB interface appears to the host program

as a standard RS232C serial port. Or, you can add your own microcontroller to the prototyping area to

get a jumpstart on developing your new product that will incorporate the DLP-RF2. Level converter

circuitry and a DB9 male connector are provided for connection to a legacy RS232C device. Standard

serial RX and TX signals (0 & 3 volt) are provided for communicating with the DLP-RF2 transceiver.

Selected baud rates (2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200, 38400, 128000, 250000 baud) can be

used to communicate with the RF2 via either the USB or DB9 interfaces.

The DLP-RF2PROTO directly accepts the DLP-RF2 transceiver via a female 20-pin connector. Eight

buffered LED’s and switches are provided for digital I/O line manipulation/indication and can be disabled

for low power designs. External power jacks and selection jumpers are provided to allow power source

selection. Power for the DLP-RF2PROTO board can be taken from the USB interface, external 4-15 volt

DC power supply (purchased separately), or 9-volt battery (not included). An on-board 3-volt regulator is

provided for controlling the voltage presented to the DLP-RF2 transceiver.

A BDM interface header is also provided for making easy connection to the DLP-RF2’s programming

interface for users that want to use their own custom firmware. Firmware programming requires the use

of a device programmer (purchased separately).

Refer to the schematic for the DLP-RF2PROTO board located at the end of this document for additional

details.

... The baud rate is set by the host application at run time. Operational power for the DLP-RF2PROTO and DLP-RF2 can be taken from the host PC via the USB interface. All that is required is a user-supplied, 6-foot USB cable and to set the power select jumper (JP5) correctly ...

... LOW POWER MODE JUMPER Jumper JP6 can be used to hold port pin RX2/C1 low at power up of the DLP-RF2. If using the SIPP firmware in the DLP-RF2 as shipped from DLP Design, on power up the RF2 will immediately enter the low-power mode drawing less than 40 microamps of current at pin 12 of interface connector CN5. The RF2 module will wake up periodically from the low-power mode and attempt to check in with the system controller ...
