6.1 Power
The R41Z Evaluation Board has three possible power sources: USB, a CR2032 coil cell, and a 0.1”
through-hole connector. These sources are OR’d together with protection diodes to prevent reverse
voltage to any supply. These allows for more than one source to be connected at a time. For example,
a coil cell battery may remain connected to the board while the board is being debugged with the USB
source connected. However, since the diodes do cause approximately a 0.3V drop in source voltage,
there is the option to bypass the diodes via solder jumpers. Care should be taken to not damage the
supplies or Evaluation board when the protection is by-passed.
If necessary, the LDO regulator can be disabled in order to allow for USB based debugging while
powering the R41Z from either an external source or a coil cell. Since the R41Z can accept a wide
range of power options, the LDO regulator can be adjusted to simulate some sources. For details on
these options, see Power Configuration Switch section later in this document.

6.1.1 R41Z Power Modes
The Rigado R41Z module contains a DC-DC converter that allows it to operate in a variety of power
environments. The R41Z Evaluation board supports all these operating modes, which are summarized
below:
R41Z DC-DC Converter Modes
Mode
Input
Voltage
Output
Voltage
Usage Notes
Bypass
1.71V – 3.6V
N/A
DC-DC Converter is bypassed: Input voltage directly
supplies all internal module power rails. Suitable for
larger or non-battery powered applications that have
steady, regulated 3.3V or 1.8V power rails that power
multiple devices. Since the DC-DC converter is bypassed
in this mode, the R41Z cannot provide regulated power
to other devices.
Buck
1.8V – 4.2V
1.8V – 3.0V
1
DC-DC Converter operates in buck mode. Internal power
rails are sourced and regulated by the R41Z module. An
externally available power rail (V1P8) allows the R41Z to
supply regulated power to other peripheral devices.
Suitable for small applications powered directly from a
lithium ion battery 2. If total power consumption is low,
the R41Z module can provide a regulated power rail to
supply other devices.
Boost
0.9V – 1.8V
1.8V – 3.0V
1
DC-DC Converter operates if boost mode. Internal power
rails are sourced and regulated by the R41Z module. An
externally available power rail (V1P8) allows the R41Z to
supply regulated power to other peripheral devices.
Suitable for small applications powered directly from a
low voltage battery 2 (For example, alkaline or NiMH). If
total power consumption is low, the R41Z module can
provide a regulated power rail to supply other devices.
Note 1: Output voltage is user adjustable in Buck and Boost mode. Defaults to 1.8V at Power On
Reset. In Buck mode, output voltage cannot be greater than input voltage.
Note 2: The R41Z does not include automatic battery management. Applications powered from
batteries must include battery management and protection features implemented with additional
hardware and/or software.

For details regarding the electrical connections required to implement each power mode, please
reference the R41Z Evaluation Board Schematic and R41Z Module Data Sheet. These documents are
available online at the Rigado website.
Switching between Bypass Mode and Buck mode can easily be accomplished using the Power
Configuration Switch. To use Boost Mode there are other changes that must be made via the Power
Configuration Jumpers, summarized below.
Figure 18 – Power Configuration Jumpers (Default)
The 4 jumpers used to switch between Buck and Boost DC-DC modes are labeled JMODE, JLP, J1P5,

6.1.4 Measuring Power Consumption
When operating the R41Z Evaluation Board in DC-DC power mode, the board power source (LDO
regulator, coin cell, or external power) directly powers both the R41Z module but also all onboard
peripheral devices and provides expansion shield power. However, when operating in either Buck or
Boost DC-DC Mode, the R41Z module supplies regulated power to the peripheral devices and shield.
This makes it difficult to directly measure the power consumption of just the R41Z module. The
Evaluation Board features two current measurement headers that allow direct measurement of total
current and peripheral current. The current consumption of only the R41Z Module can be indirectly
measured by subtracting the peripheral current from the system current reading.
Figure 20 – Schematic: Current Measurement Headers
R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0
15
6.2 Debug Interface
The R41Z Evaluation Board features an OpenSDA 2.1 interface which includes a SWD connection and
virtual COM port for easy programming and debugging of the R41Z module.
6.2.1 OpenSDA Interface
The OpenSDA hardware is separated from the R41Z target by a set of level shifters to ensure that
debugging can be done regardless of the DC-DC mode used. The interface will operate in a similar
manner to other evaluation boards that use OpenSDA. When connected to a host computer, the
Evaluation board will appear as a mass storage device named “FRDM-KW41Z”. Binary files can be
directly copied to this drive to load them to the R41Z target.
The R41Z Evaluation Board ships with a Segger debug application loaded but other OpenSDA 2.1
applications may be used. To load a new OpenSDA application, apply power to the board while
holding the reset button. The Evaluation Board will appear as mass storage device named
“Maintenance” onto which the OpenSDA application binary can be copied.
6.2.2 Reset Button
The reset button is primarily meant to be used to reset the R41Z module. It is also used to put the
OpenSDA interface into “Maintenance” mode to allow for different Debug Applications to be loaded.
The reset pin on the R41Z module and the OpenSDA I/O are both connected to the reset button and
isolated from each other by diodes. Unlike the standard OpenSDA implementation, a header is not
needed to select which device the reset button is connected to.
When power is initially applied, the OpenSDA interface momentarily ignores any reset signal asserted
by the R41Z in order to sample the state of the reset button. This is done by setting the reset line level
shifter between the OpenSDA interface and the R41Z to a high impedance state.
Figure 21 – Schematic: Reset Button
6.2.3 External Debug Header
R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0

In addition to the onboard OpenSDA interface, the R41Z Evaluation Board supports the use of external
debuggers. A standard 10-pin SWD/JTAG header is provided with the following pinout to the target

6.3 Peripherals
The R41Z Evaluation Board includes a set of onboard peripherals and a set of Arduino style headers
that allow for additional peripherals of the user’s choice to be added in the form of expansion shields.
These headers share I/O connections to the R41Z module with the existing onboard peripherals. If an
on-board peripheral will interfere with the operation of a shield, jumpers can be used to disconnect
the on-board device.
6.3.1 Expansion Headers

R41Z-EVAL User Guide Rev 2.0
18
6.3.2 IR LED Provision
An unpopulated position for an IR LED and driver transistor are provided on the Evaluation board. If IR
is part the application under development, these parts can be populated by the end user. The IR LED
footprint is intended for a right angle, SMT 3317 package. The drive transistor footprint is intended for
an SOT-23 NPN BJT. Resistor R45 is not provided on the board to avoid pulling down PTB1.
Figure 23 – Schematic: IR LED
6.3.3 User LEDs
The R41Z Evaluation Board features an RGB LED and a separate blue LED. Since the GPIO used are
shared with the expansion header, solder jumpers are provided to disconnect the LEDs if required.
Since the LEDs are powered from the peripheral power bus “VIO”, they will be powered directly by the
R41Z module when it is operating in either Buck or Boost DC-DC mode. This may affect LED visibility at
low output voltages.

6.3.4 Thermistor
A thermistor circuit is provided to demonstrate the analog capabilities of the R41Z module and to aid
development of applications requiring temperature measurement.
Figure 25 – Schematic: Thermistor and ADC Mode Selection
6.3.5 User Buttons
Two mechanical buttons (SW3, SW4) and two capacitive touch buttons (SW2, SW5) are provided on
the Evaluation Board. The Capacitive touch buttons enable easy development of applications that
make use of the R41Z’s Touch Sense Input (TSI) module.

6.3.6 SPI Flash
To assist development of applications requiring external storage, a 4Mbit flash module is provided
(Adesto Tech. AT45DB041E-MHN2B-T). The flash uses an SPI interface with signals shared with the
expansion headers. When using multiple Chip Select (CS) signals, this allows the same SPI bus to be
used with both the Flash module and one or more SPI devices on an expansion shield. However, some
signals are also shared with the TSI user buttons.

C Acceleration/Magnetometer Sensor
For development of applications that require orientation and movement tracking, a combined
accelerometer and magnetometer is provided (NXP FXOS8700CQR1). The sensor can support either
SPI or I2C interfaces but is used exclusively with the I2C interface on the R41Z Evaluation Board. When
in I2C mode, the address of the sensor can be set using external pull-up and pull-down resistors. The
signals used for the I2C bus are shared with the expansion headers. Because of the addressed nature of
I2C it is possible to use this same bus to connect to additional devices on a shield.

6.4 R41Z Module
For details on the R41Z module, see the Rigado R41Z Data Sheet (rigado.com/r41z). The R41Z
module is an industry leading Bluetooth and Thread pre-certified (pending) module with a wide range
of potential applications.
6.4.1 32.768kHz Oscillator
For RTC and to maintain high accuracy Bluetooth time keeping in low power modes, an external
32.768kHz crystal oscillator is provided. Some applications may not require this external oscillator in
which case a set of jumpers can be used to connect these I/O to the expansion headers. The R41Z
module features programmable capacitors which can be used in place of external capacitors.
However, external capacitors are provided on the R41Z Evaluation Board to simplify firmware
development.
