eRIC9-BOB

eRIC Breakout Board This board assembly breaks out the 5 x 7 pins of the eRIC RF Transceiver to a more convenient 2 x 12 x 0.1 pitch DIL pinout that matches commercial prototype breadboards. This allows the quick and easy testing and evaluation of eRIC modules for which these boards are intended. The board is supplied with either an eRIC4 or eRIC9 module fitted together with a matching 434MHz or an 868/915 MHz antenna. Pin Function Pin Function 1 Carrier Detect 23 RF Gnd 2 Busy 22 GPIO 3 SDO 21 GPIO 4 SDI 20 GPIO 5 Host Ready 19 GPIO 6 Vcc - 3.3V 18 GPIO 7 0V Gnd 17 GPIO 8 JTag 16 GPIO 9 Reset 15 GPIO 10 GPIO 13 GPIO 11 GPIO 14 Frequency Select (eRIC9 only) 12 GPIO GND 0V Gnd Antenna connection is via an SMA Jack connector or alternatively the on-board eRIC UFL RF connector. A supplied jumper optionally connects the eRIC Frequency Select Pin (14) to 0V Gnd setting the eRIC9 version module to a base operating frequency of 915MHz and restricting operation to meet FCC (USA) requirements. Specifications Temperature 20C Mechanical Typical Units Notes Size 67 x 20 x 5 mm Excluding antenna connector Pinout 12 x 2 DIL on 0.5 pitch Pin pitch 0.1 Inch 2.54mm eRIC Breakout 1.0.docx Page 1 of 3 eRIC Breakout Board Schematic Note the 10k series resistors fitted to the SDO & SDI pins. Other eRIC pins (configured as inputs) may need to be similarly protected if connected to external 5V logic level signals.
