2 SU60-SIPT DEVELOPMENT KIT – MAIN DEVELOPMENT BOARD
This section describes the SU60-SIPT development board hardware. The SU60-SIPT development board is
delivered with the SU60-SIPT module but no onboard firmware and applications.
The SU60-SIPT development board is a universal development tool to highlight the capabilities of the SU60-SIPT
module. The development kit is supplied in a default configuration which should be suitable for multiple
experimentation options. It also offers multiple pin headers that help to create different configurations for
SU60-SIPT module. This allows you to test different operating scenarios.
The development board allows the SU60-SIPT module to physically connect to a SDIO host via the supplied SDIO
extension cable and USB host via USB cable for development purposes. The development board also provides
USB-to-Virtual COM port conversion through a FTDI chip – part number FT232R. Any Windows PC (XP or later)
and Linux PC (Ubuntu xx.xx or Fedora xx.xx) should auto-install the necessary drivers; if your PC cannot locate
the drivers, you can download them from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

The development board can be powered from DC 12V supply (into DC jack connector CN1), USB (type micro-B)
connector (USB1 and USB2), or the host interface (PCIe or SDIO interface). The power source fed into DC jack is
regulated down to 5V with an on-board regulator and wire to SW1.
The 5V from the USB or the DC jack is regulated down to 3.3V with an on-board regulator on the development
board. Switch SW1 selects between the regulated 5V and USB. The voltage from host interface (PCIe or SDIO
interface) is not regulated but is fed directly to SU60-SIPT module supply pin.
The default position of SW2 is to select regulated 5V.
The development board has a 1.8 V regulator for the VCCIO of FTDI-Chip.

Note:
SU60-SIPT module provides 4-wire UART interface on the HW.
For 3.3V VIO, VIH is from 2.31V to 3.7V; VIL is from -0.4V to 0.99V.
For 1.8V VIO, VIH is from 1.26V to 2.2V; VIL is from -0.4V to 0.54V.

3.5.2 UART Interface Driven by USB
USB Connector – The development kit provides a USB Type micro-B connector (USB2) which allows connection
to any USB host device. The connector optionally supplies power to the development kit and the USB
signals are connected to a USB to serial convertor device (FT232R).
USB to UART – The development kit is fitted with a (U6) FTDI FT232R USB to UART converter which provides
USB-to-Virtual COM port on any Windows PC (XP or later). Upon connection, Windows auto-installs the
required drivers. For more details and driver downloads, visit
http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT232R.htm.
UART interface driven by USB FTDI chip – In normal operation, the SU60-SIPT module UART interface is driven
by the FTDI FT232R USB to UART converter.

UART interface driven by external UART source – The SU60-SIPT module UART interface (TX, RX, CTS, RTS) is
presented at a 2.54 mm (0.1”) pitch headers (J15, J16, J17, and J18). To allow the SU60-SIPT UART interface
to be driven from the breakout header connector (J15, J16, J17, and J18):
– The development board must be powered from DC jack (CON5) and switch SW1 must be in position
DC JACK 5V.
