Precautions

Do Not

1. This product uses ordinary off-the-shelf electronic components, and is therefore inappropriate for use in

applications that require special quality or reliability and are expected to protect human lives or prevent

accidents, such as safety mechanisms in fields including space, aeronautics, medicine, and nuclear

power.

2. Do not be used underwater or in high-humidity environments.

3. Do not be used in the presence of corrosive gases, combustible gases, or other flammable gases.

4. Do not turn on power when circuit board surface is in contact with other metal.

5. Do not apply voltage higher than rated voltage.

Attention

6. This manual may be revised in the future without notice owing to improvements.

There may be differences between actual components or their prescribed quantities and model numbers and those shown in circuit

diagrams.

2. Except for the guarantee in item 1, above, no guarantees whatsoever are made. When assembling the product as shown in a circuit

diagram is impossible, and the problem can be solved by revising the diagram, HuMANDATA will revise the diagram. When a

problem can be solved only by replacing components or modifying the product, HuMANDATA will take back the product to replace it

with a properly functioning product.

3. In case item 2, above, HuMANDATA guarantee its products for a period of 60 days from the date of shipping.

Some I/O pins in this board are fixed to GND or VCCINT (1.2 V) for purpose

adjusting the differences between devices. Some VREFB pins are connected to each

other.

Therefore, these pins should not be used as user I/O port.

Power Supply

This board operates from single DC 3.3 V power supply from CNA and CNB.

Internally required 2.5[V], 1.8[V], 1.2[V] and 0.9[V] are generated by on-board

voltage regulators.

The external power supply should be sufficient and stabilized. Please do not apply

over 3.3V voltage.

The Vccio of BANK B is not connected to 3.3V (V33A). Please input given voltage

from CNB.

By shorting JP1, 3.3V (V33A) is available. Or by switching PJ1 and PJ2, 2.5V is

available.

For more details, please refer to circuit schematic.
