Supply voltages

+The transceiver has three voltage domains: + +
+On atusb, there is also the USB voltage domain at nominally 5.0 V. +

+Voltages should be tested in the following order: USB, then I/O, then +digital, and finally analog. The table below gives the permissible +ranges. Any voltages outside of these ranges indicate a problem. +

+ +
DomainNominalMinimumMaximum +
USB5.0 V4.5 V5.25 V +
I/O3.3 V3.0 V3.6 V +
Digital1.8 V1.7 V1.9 V +
Analog1.8 V1.7 V1.9 V +
+

+ +

Measurement setup

+ +The measurements should be performed either with a digital multimeter. +To enable all voltage domains, put the transceiver in receive mode: +
+atrf-txrx
+
+or +
+atrf-txrx -d net:ben
+
+Exit with Ctrl-C. +

+To produce periodic transmissions in addition to enabling all voltage +domains, use +

+atrf-txrx -p 3 -E 0
+
+or +
+atrf-txrx -d net:ben -p 3 -E 0
+
+Again, exit with Ctrl-C. Note that the transmissions may disturb nearby +equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz band, such as 802.11 networks. This +can be prevented by shorting the antenna to ground. +

+In case the board does not accept commands, only the USB and I/O voltage +can be checked. If they are correct, proceed with checking the clock. + + + + + +
