tml 19 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi, Is that possible to externally supply the MSP430F5529 throught boosterpack connect that expose +3V3 and/or +5V instead of attaching the power to the EZFET connector? Looking at the schematics there seem to be no diodes preventing the reverse current from the boosterpack but I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sure, just pull the 5v and 3.3v jumpers on the ezfet connector first. If you don't want to power ANY of the fet or hub side, just pull all the jumpers. And yes, you can only provide 3.3v (or any DVCC voltage in the f5529's range), given that you know that the 5v side will not be used/needed. Power can be injected at any 3.3v or 5v point on the board, including the jumper block, the 40 pin headers, or the two power headers at the bottom. tml 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact the 5V is as far as I know used exclusively for USB module which I don't need in my application. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russcky 9 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hi @@tml and @@cde, Did anyone try this and get it working? I have one of the early msp430f5529 boards (rev 1.4) and tried to power the board from an external source (5V) and it's not working. I pulled the jumpers from the FET, 5V & 3.3V first then tried powering using the pins at the bottom headers of the board and on the 40-pin headers and nothing. Just wanting to know if someone got this working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russcky 9 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just tried the 3.3v as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have the same version of LP board as you (V1.4). You have to pull the SBWRST and SBWTST jumpers as well or else it will not work because the MSP will be held in reset by the unpowered eZ-FET lite circuitry. Just pull out all of those jumpers then apply 3V to the board at either at J10:3(3V3) or at J1:1(3V3). Here is the LP schematic for reference. It's V1.5 but it will work for this conversation.
