Installation and Usage

  1. Power Supply:

    • Connect the power supply to the VCC and GND pins.
    • Ensure the supply voltage is within the specified range (2.4V to 3.6V).
  2. USB Connection:

    • Connect the USB data lines (D+ and D-) to the corresponding pins on the module.
    • Use the USB_B and USB_A connectors for input and output respectively.
  3. SD Card Connection:

    • Connect the SD card signals (CMD, CLK, DAT0-3) to the corresponding pins on the module.
    • Ensure proper insertion and alignment of the SD card.
  4. I2C Configuration:

    • If I2C control is needed, connect the I2C_SEL, SCL, and SDA pins appropriately.
    • Configure the I2C address using the ADD pin.
  5. Operation Modes:

    • Select Pass Thru or Card Reader mode using the MODE pin.
    • Reset the device using the RST pin if necessary.

For detailed electrical characteristics and operational guidance, refer to the MAX14502AETL Datasheet.

Questions

How big is the USBSDREADER01 PCB?

It measures 70.6 × 50.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USBSDREADER01 use?

49 parts, built around the MAX14502AETL+ and TS5A4594DBV. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the USBSDREADER01 KiCad files?

From the mlab-modules/USBSDREADER01 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/sch_pcb/USBSDREADER01.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/sch_pcb/USBSDREADER01.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USBSDREADER01 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mlab-modules before reusing the design.
