NOTE: EVK/STK430 Terminal icon
Before clicking the EVK/STK430 Terminal icon, ensure the standard Windows Applications
Terminal and Notepad are installed in the Windows directory. The Windows terminal emulator
is configured to use serial port COM2 by default.
1.2 Hardware Installation
The STK/EVK kit hardware includes the STK/EVK-PCB and one 9-pin cable for connection to the PCs serial
communication port. The EVK also contains the PRG430 along with the necessary cables.
1.2.1 The STK/EVK-PCB Operating Conditions
Temperature range 10°C – 45°C
Humidity 40% – 70%
Current consumption
(Approximate Values)
≈0.7 mA at 3 V, 25°C, no connection to serial port
≈1 mA at 5 V, 25°C, no connection to serial port
≈5 mA at 3 V, 25°C, serial port connected
≈5.5 mA at 5 V, 25°C, serial port connected
Note: The current consumption is measured without any additional external
connections.
Operating voltage
3 V or 5 V
Note: The operating voltage is selectable as 3 V or 5 V on the STK/EVK-PCB
by making the appropriate connections (see Figure 1–5 or 1–6,
depending on the system you have).
