4 Guidelines
This chapter describes all connections and jumpers available on the EVB90121 circuit to be able to use it in
the most efficient way.
4.1 Power supply
The circuit can be supplied with a standard DC supply block (transformer or switch mode power supplies)
connected to the jack connector J1. The input supply can be selected from 6 to maximum 9 volts DC to
avoid permanent damage of the evaluation board.
The internal power supply of the board can be selected between 3 Volts and 5 Volts DC by changing the
position of the jumper J3.
4.2 Antenna connection
The SMA screw connector JP1 allows the connection of a 50-ohm antenna. The matching network is
adjusted with CV1 capacitor on a prefect 50-ohm load. This will give maximum power up to 250mWatt to
the connected antenna.
4.3 Connection to a microcontroller
All digital Inputs/Outputs of the MLX90121 device are available on the JP2 connector. This allows easy
connection to a microcontroller. Following table is the description of JP2 connector.
