1. General Description
IN1BN-DKC0-100-C0 is an InPlay NanoBeaconTM development kit that
includes three IN100 development boards and one programmer board.
The development kit provides all the I/Os available on IN100 (QFN18
package) that allow users to easily connect peripheral devices such as
sensors, and by connecting the RF cables using SMA, users can
evaluate the RF performance more accurately. In addition, an external
power supply can be selected to provide a wide range of voltages for
the IN100 device or system evaluation.
A kit contains three development boards and one programmer board
as shown in Figure 1.

Description
J5
External power
supply
External power supply ( 1.1~3.6V input).
When this power supply is available, keep no coin cell
battery installed and switch the programmer board SW1 to
OFF.
J8
Current
measurement
- For normal operation, a jumper needs to be installed
- For current measurement
•Remove the jumper J8 on the board
•Power pin 1 (VCC) of J8 with an external power supply
with an ammeter. Initially, set the voltage same as
the voltage presented on J8 pin 2 (VBAT)
•Press the K1 button to reset the device and run the
user configuration in RAM (refer to the "Run in RAM"
operation in the NanoBeaconTM Configuration Tool
User Manual for details)
•Disconnect the programmer board from the
development board
•Set the external power supply to the voltage at which
you want to measure the current, and then measure
the current.

Chip_EN
- Chip_EN ON: Connect pin 1 and 2. This is to enable the
device.
- Chip_EN OFF: Connect pin 2 and 3. This is to disable the
device.
