The transceiver has three voltage domains:
|
||||||
|
<UL>
|
||||||
|
<LI>The supply and I/O voltage, which is nominally 3.3 V in
|
||||||
|
<B>atben</B> and <B>atusb</B>,
|
||||||
|
<LI>the digital (core) supply, which is nominally 1.8 V, and
|
||||||
|
<LI>the analog (RF) supply, which is nominally 1.8 V.
|
||||||
|
</UL>
|
||||||
|
<BR>
|
||||||
|
On <B>atusb</B>, there is also the USB voltage domain at nominally 5.0 V.
|
||||||
|
<P>
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|

<H3>Measurement setup</H3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The measurements should be performed either with a digital multimeter.
|
||||||
|
To enable all voltage domains, put the transceiver in receive mode:
|
||||||
|
<PRE>
|
||||||
|
atrf-txrx
|
||||||
|
</PRE>
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
<PRE>
|
||||||
|
atrf-txrx -d net:ben
|
||||||
|
</PRE>
|
||||||
|
Exit with Ctrl-C.
|
||||||
|
<P>
|
||||||
|
To produce periodic transmissions in addition to enabling all voltage
|
||||||
|
domains, use
|
||||||
|
<PRE>
|
||||||
|
atrf-txrx -p 3 -E 0
|
||||||
|
</PRE>
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
<PRE>
|
||||||
|
atrf-txrx -d net:ben -p 3 -E 0
|
||||||
|
</PRE>
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
<P>
|
||||||
|
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.
