  • Page 9: Power

    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.

  • Page 17: Connecting To A Launchpad

    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.
