1Introduction

This document provides a quick start guide on using the CC3100 Booster Pack Rev 2.0B .

This is not applicable to other revisions of the board.

2Overview

The CC3100 Booster Pack is a board designed to interface with the TI standard Launchpad

including the Tiva-C series and the MSP430 value line launchpads. In addition to the

launchpads, there is support available to mate the board with a FTDI Debug board to

interface directly to a PC host using USB cable. A picture of the board is presented below

with the main components marked.

Can be used for IDLE and Active

currents.

For Hibernate currents, remove R42 and

connect a ammeter across J24. Range

Closed : Routes the RESET signal from

the MCU Launchpad to the CC3100.

Open : The RESET is cut off from the

MCU. (Used with MSP430 boards where

nHIB

Green LED

Glows when the CC3100 device is

enabled using nHIB.

Power

RED LED to indicate the power line

status.

Note : This LED can glow if the board is

powered from any of the GPIO being

high, and the Vcc is un-connected. This

is not a valid state and should be

avoided.

3.6 Conducted testing

The board is by default configured for radiated measurement using the on-board chip

antenna. For conducted testing in the lab the following changes needs to be done on the

board.

CC3100BOOST User Guide

TI Proprietary Information - Strictly Private

Radiated test

using antenna

C4 = DNP

C2 = 10pF

Note : The 10pF capacitor used should be of RF grade with high-Q to reduce the overall

loss. Otherwise a 0 Ohm resistor can also be used for this.

3.7 Current measurement

The board provides a jumper connected to a 0.1 Ohm resistor for current measurement. The

measurement is made by using a voltmeter across the jumper and multiplying the value

obtained in mV by 10 to get the current in mA. The current measurement jumper is J24 as

shown in Figure 1.

Note : The measurement may have up to 10% error due to resistor variation and contact

resistance due to reflow soldering.
