A.1.1 Exclusion Zone

It is recommended that you allow for an "exclusion zone" of 0.25" (6 mm) around the LP3500 in all directions when the LP3500 is incorporated into an assembly that includes other printed circuit boards. This "exclusion zone" that you keep free of other components and boards will allow for sufficient air flow, and will help to minimize any electrical or electromagnetic interference between adjacent boards. An "exclusion zone" of 0.12" (3 mm) is recommended below the LP3500. Figure A-2 shows this "exclusion zone."


Figure A-2. LP3500 "Exclusion Zone"

When using the LP3500 with the Prototyping Board, do not install any components in the prototyping area on the Prototyping Board between the LP3500 and the Prototyping Board.

A.1.2 Headers

The LP3500 uses 0.1" IDC headers at J1-J4 for physical connection to other boards. J5, the programming port, is a 2 ×  5 header with a 2 mm pin spacing.

Figure A-3 shows the LP3500 footprint. These values are relative to the mounting hole.


Figure A-3. User Board Footprint for LP3500

A.2 Conformal Coating

The areas around the 32 kHz real-time clock crystal oscillator has had the Dow Corning silicone-based 1-2620 conformal coating applied. The conformally coated area is shown in Figure A-4. The conformal coating protects these high-impedance circuits from the effects of moisture and contaminants over time.


Figure A-4. LP3500 Areas Receiving Conformal Coating

Any components in the conformally coated area may be replaced using standard soldering procedures for surface-mounted components. A new conformal coating should then be applied to offer continuing protection against the effects of moisture and contaminants.

NOTE For more information on conformal coatings, refer to Technical Note 303, Conformal Coatings.

A.3 Jumper Configurations

Figure A-5 shows the header locations used to configure the various LP3500 options via jumpers.

NOTE The jumper connections on header J3 are made using standard slip-on jumpers. All other jumper connections except those across JP11 and JP12 are made using 0 W surface-mounted resistors. 390 W current-limiting resistors are used on JP11 and JP12.
