4.1 Electrical Characteristics
QT7 Xplained Pro can be connected to several Xplained Pro MCU boards and manually connected to
other hardware. Xplained Pro MCU board(s) that does not have 3.3V as its primary target voltage will
read all ID devices on connected extensions to check if they support the target voltage before enabling it
to the extension headers. The table below shows the static content written in the ID chip.

4.2 Headers and Connectors
4.2.1 Extension Headers
The QT7 Xplained Pro implements one Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header (see also section
Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header) marked with EXT1 in silkscreen. This header make it possible
to connect the board to an Xplained Pro MCU board with an MCU featuring a PTC module. The pinout
definition for the extension header can be seen in the table below.
