The P1-Pn naming convention is used for 2x20 pin connectors only. Figure 8. 2x20 Pin Connector The signal mappings are as indicated in the table shown in Figure 8. All the signals are referred to by the pin number in the SDK, and Figure 8 shows the default mappings. Note that some of the pins are repeated across the connector. For instance, pin 62 is available on P1 and P4, but only P1 is connected by default. The signal on P4 is marked with a *(star) to signify that it is not connected by default and can be routed to the pin by using a 0 Ω resistor in the path. For the exact resistor placement, see the schematics and placement diagram. 2.5 Power The LaunchPad can be powered by the USB connection or by external 2xAA/2xAAA batteries. 2.5.1 USB Power The LaunchPad is designed to work from the USB provided power supply. The LaunchPad enumerates as a bus-powered device on the computer. When the board is powered from the USB connector, place the jumpers on the following headers, as shown in Figure 9.

The current measured in this mode includes only the CC3200MOD current, and no external blocks. However, if a GPIO of the CC3200MOD is driving a high current load like LED, then that is also included in this measurement. 2.6.1 Measuring Low Power (< 1mA) Follow these steps to measure ultra-low power: Figure 11. Measuring Low Power 1. Remove the 3V3 jumper (J12); attach an ammeter across this jumper. 2. Check that the CC3200MOD is not driving any high current loads directly, such as an LED, as this can cause large current drawn. 3. Begin target execution and set the device to low-power modes (LPDS or Hibernate). 4. Measure the current. Note that if the current levels are fluctuating, it may be difficult to get a stable measurement. It is easier to measure quiescent states. 16 CC3200MOD SimpleLink™ Microcontroller and Wi-Fi® Network Processor Module - LaunchPad Hardware SWRU397A – December 2014 – Revised August 2018 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Hardware Description www.ti.com 2.6.2 Measuring Active Power Figure 12. Measuring Active Power 1. Remove the 3V3 jumper (J12). 2. Solder a 0.1 Ω resistor on the board at R62. Or attach a jumper wire between J12, so that it can be used with a current probe. 3. Measure the voltage across the R62 using an oscilloscope with a differential probe. For the current probe, coil the wire around the sensor multiple times for good sensitivity. 4. An ammeter can also be used for this measurement, but the results may be erroneous due to the switching nature of the current.
