CC3100MOD SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Network Processor
Module BoosterPack Hardware
1 Introduction
1.1 CC3100 Module BoosterPack (CC3100MODBOOST)
Add Wi-Fi to any low-cost, low-power microcontroller (MCU) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications using
the CC3100 Module BoosterPack (CC3100MODBOOST), which hosts the CC3100 module
(CC3100MOD). The CC3100MOD is FCC, IC, CE, and Wi-Fi certified. It integrates all protocols for Wi-Fi
and Internet, greatly minimizing host MCU software requirements. With built-in security protocols, the
CC3100MOD solution provides a robust and simple security experience. The CC3100MOD integrates the
serial flash, RF filter, crystal, and all required passive components.
This document explains the various configurations, usage, and versatility of the CC3100MODBOOST.
First, it can be connected to a TI MCU LaunchPad (provided examples for MSPEXP430F5529LP).
Second, it can be plugged into a CC31XXEMUBOOST board and connected to a PC for MCU emulation.
The CC3100MODBOOST firmware updates requires either the CC31XXEMUBOOST board, or the micro-
controller over-the-air(OTA) software and access to a server. Finally, the exposed signals on the 20 pin
connector provide an interface to an additional microcontroller or platforms beyond TI's LaunchPads. The
CC3100MODBOOST is a complete platform solution, including various tools and software, sample
applications, user and programming guides, reference designs, and the TI E2E™ support community. Visit
the CC3100 Wiki page for design resources and example projects

NOTE: All signals are 3.3-V CMOS 400-mA logic levels, and are referred w.r.t. CC3100MOD IC.
For example, UART1_TX is an output from the CC3100MOD. For the SPI lines, the
CC3100MOD always acts like a slave.
2.4 Power
The board is designed to accept power from a connected LaunchPad or from the CC3100EMUBOOST
board. Some of the LaunchPads are not capable of sourcing the peak current requirements of Wi-Fi. In
this case, the USB connector on the CC3100MODBOOST can be used to aid the peak current. The use of
Schottky diodes ensure that the load sharing occurs between the USB connectors on the LaunchPad and
the BoosterPack without any board modifications.
The 3.3-V power can also be sourced from the LaunchPad, or from the 3.3-V LDO on the board by using
jumper J8. If the LaunchPad is not able to source the 3.3 V up to 350 mA, configure the J8 to work from
the on-board LDO.
2.4.1 Power From the LaunchPad or CC3100EMUBOOST
The most common scenario is to power the CC3100MODBOOST from the connected LaunchPad. In this
case, the LaunchPad provides 3.3 V to the BoosterPack for its operation (see Figure 5). In addition to the
3.3 V, some LaunchPads provide a 5 V from the USB (see Figure 6), used to drive a 3.3-V LDO on the
BoosterPack. If the LaunchPad is not able to provide the 5 V (for example, the LaunchPad with only 20
pins), then the USB connector on the CC3100MODBOOST should be used to provide the LDO input as
shown below.

2.4.2 On-Board LDO Power Supply
On some LaunchPads, the 3.3 V is not capable of sourcing the 350-mA peak current needed for the
CC3100MODBOOST. In this case, the on-board 3.3-V LDO can be used (see Figure 7). This LDO is
sourced from the USB connector on the CC3100MODBOOST and the LaunchPad in a shared load
manner.

2.5 Measure the CC3100 Current Drawn
2.5.1 Low Current Measurement (Hibernate and LPDS)
To measure the current drawn from the CC3100 device, a jumper is provided on the board labeled J6. By
removing this jumper, the user can place an ammeter into this path and observe the current. This method
is recommended for measuring LPDS and hibernate currents that are just a few 10s of micro amps. The
jumper is removed and an ammeter is added in series to measure the hibernate and LPDS currents (see
Figure 9).
Figure 9. Low Current Measurement
NOTE: If the device uses service pack 1.1.0 or higher, the R113 resistor must be removed to get
lower LPDS currents. This resistor can leak an extra 33 uA from the 3.3-V supply in LPDS
mode, if the SPI is used as the host interface.
2.5.2 Active Current Measurement
To measure active current in a profile form, use a 0.1-Ω1% resistor on the board and measure the
differential voltage across it. This can be done using a voltmeter or an oscilloscope for measuring the
current profile.

By default, the BoosterPack ships with the RF signal connected to the on-board chip antenna. Figure 11
illustrates a miniature UMC connector (Murata MM8030-2610) on the board's RF path for measuring the
performance in a conducted mode.
In addition to the Murata connector, a U.FL connector on the board (see Figure 12) for conducting testing
or to connect an external antenna. This requires a board modification, as illustrated in the figures below.

Connecting to a LaunchPad
4 Connecting to a LaunchPad
The CC3100MODBOOST can be directly connected to a compatible LaunchPad using the standard 2×20
pin connectors. The necessary jumper settings for this connection are the same as those for the
EMUBOOST board as described in Section 3.4.
Ensure that the Pin1 of the 2×20 pins is aligned correctly before pairing. Figure 16 illustrates the
connected setup. Note that the USB cable is directly connected to the BoosterPack to power it only. For
debugging, the USB cable on the LaunchPad is also required.
Figure 16. CC3100MODBOOST connected to MSP430F5529 LaunchPad
4.1 LaunchPad Current Limitation
Some of the LaunchPads, including the MSP430FRAM, do not provide enough current to power the
CC3100MODBOOST. The BoosterPack can consume up to 400-mA peak from the 3.3 V, and may need
power separately.
For this, a USB connector is provided on the BoosterPack to provide the 3.3 V.
The power supply jumpers should be configured as shown in Figure 17 when the power is supplied from
the on-board USB connector.
Figure 17. Jumper Settings When Used With LaunchPad
NOTE: Because there are two power sources in this setup, it is important to follow the power-up
sequence.
NOTE: Always power the BoosterPack before powering the LaunchPad.

L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Concerning EVMs Including Detachable Antennas:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate
with the antenna types listed in the user guide with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for
each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Concernant les EVMs avec antennes détachables
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne
d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les
risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de
sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement
d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise
pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain
maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur
