ERRATA SHEET # 150320
Date:

Product:
XBee Development Kits
Summary:
This errata sheet documents a resolution for a known issue with the USB port use on XBee®
development board kits shipped prior to 2/23/15.
Issue:
Some Digi XBee® development board kits were confirmed to exhibit a failure when powered
through the USB port. The cause was found to be a variation on the voltage regulator that
caused some USB circuits to not function properly. Specifically, the boards cause the FTDI chip
to not enumerate when the power supply doesn’t come up properly to 3.3v.
Determining the failure:
If the board is able to consistently connect through the USB, it is considered ok and not prone to
this issue. Because the issue is intermittent, we suggest the user verifies port connectivity three
times in succession.
To verify if your board may be faulty, perform the following test:
1) Plug in the USB port to your PC
2) Open up “Device Manager” from your windows PC to make sure all USB units do not
have errors. A faulty connection will show up as a USB icon with an exclamation mark.

Resolution:
To resolve the issue, the barrel jack must be supplied with between 6v to 20v of power, prior to
connecting the USB port. If the barrel jack is supplied with between 6v to 20v prior to the USB
connection, the board will always function properly. However, the barrel jack must be connected
first, followed by the USB to guarantee correct operation.
Most of the development kits include one or more 12V power supplies to power one or more
boards. If your kit did not have a power supply and you need one, or would like to return your
development board for a new fully functional unit, please see the “customer resolution”
information and tables below.
