MT3620 Grove Breakout

enter image description here

Azure Sphere MT3620 Development Kit and MT3620 Mini Dev Board are both enabled by Microsoft Azure Sphere technology, MT3620 Grove breakout is an expansion breakout board designed for the brand new MT3620 Mini Dev Board. MT3620 Grove breakout enable users to quickly apply sensors modules -SeeedStudio Groves into rapid prototyping application which is built based on MT3620 Mini Dev Board.

Since Azure Sphere SDK has not yet supported ADC on MT3620, this breakout serves as an interface between MT3620 I2C port and external ADC, which provide a way to read the analog data from analog port. Besides the analog port , this breakout has UART,SPI,I2C,GPIO ports.

Features

  • 12-bit ADC, I2C-compatible serial interface
  • 8 Grove connectors
    • 2 x UART
    • 2 x I2C
    • 2 x Analog
    • 2 x Digtal(4 GPIO)

Hardware Overview

Interface

  • Extention Header 1: 24 pins, please refer to board pin map for the detail pin defination.

  • Analog: 2 Grove Analog ports, the input signal voltage must less than 3.3v.

  • I2C: 2 Grove I2C ports, the I2C port shares the same pin with UART1, so you only can choose I2C or UART1 at one time.

  • UART: 2 Grove UART ports, the I2C port shares the same pin as UART1, so you only can choose I2C or UART1 at one time. The SPI0 port shares the same pin with UART0,so you only can choose SPI0 or UART0 at one time.

  • Digital: 4 digital GPIO ports, the working voltage is 3.3v.

  • Extention Header 2: It is duplication of Extention Header 1. You can solder wires to header. There are 2 pins not connecting with Extention Header 1. Pin1 of J5 is connected to 3.3v directly and Pin6 of J5 is not connected.

  • SPI: The SPI0 port shares the same pin with UART0,so you only can choose SPI0 or UART0 at one time.

  • AD7992BRMZ-1: MT3620 Mini Dev Board supports SPI, UART, I2C, Digital functions, but does not support the ADC function. So the MT3620 Grove Breakout includes AD7992 chip, which is a 12-bit, low power, successive approximation ADC with an I2C-compatible interface. Then connect to I2C interface of MT3620 Mini Dev Board.

  • I2C Address Select: As is logic Input. Address select input that selects one of three I2C addresses for the AD7992, If it is connect to GND, the I2C address is 0x23. If it is connected to 3.3v, the I2C address is 0x24.

MT3620 Mini Dev Board Demos

We build there demoes which combine MT3620 Mini Dev Board and Seeed Grove system.

Demo#1: MT3620 Mini Dev Board performs as an MCU, which connects with Grove-Button and USB to TTL adapter. Then you connect MT3620 Mini Dev Board and the USB to TTL adapter to PC usb ports. After you downloading the code, press Grove-Button and enter "Hello World!" from USB to TTL adapter, you can receive "Hello World!" from Visual Studio Output window.

Demo#2: MT3620 Mini Dev Board performs as an MCU, which connects with Grove-Light Sensor and USB to Grove-Rotary Sensor. Then you connect MT3620 Mini Dev Board to PC usb ports. After you downloading the code, you move your hand on top of the Grove-Light Sensor or rotate the Grove-Rotary Sensor, you can see analog outputs for both sensors from Visual Studio Output window.

Demo#3: MT3620 Mini Dev Board performs as an MCU, which connects with Grove - OLED Display 1.12". Then you connect MT3620 Mini Dev Board to PC usb ports. After you downloading the code, you press Grove-Button and enter "Hello World!" from USB to TTL adapter, you can receive "Hello World!" from Visual Studio Output window.
