Power Up and Connection Setup
The following steps help to guide you through power up and connection of the EVM. Figure 22 shows the
hardware setup.
1. Connect the USB cable to the J1 connector on the MMB3 board.
2. For weigh-scale setup:
(a) To connect external load cells: use connectors J55 or J56 to connect to any or all of the four
channels: INP[:03] and INM[3:0].
(b) To connect the onboard load cell: place shunts between pins 2 and 3 for J46 through J53 to switch
to the onboard load cell. Note that by default, the shunts are placed between pins 1 and 2 to enable
connection to external load cell terminals.
3. For BCM hardware setup:
(a) Connect current injection electrodes across IOUT[5:0] terminals (J36 and J38).
(b) Connect voltage measurement electrodes across VSENSE[5:0] terminals (J10 and J21).

voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
