Zest_Adapter_Shield

Overview

The Zest Adapter Shield is an electronics development board for 6TRON opensource platform. It offers 6TRON users the possibility to connect the full range of Arduino shields to the 6TRON platform.

The Arduino pinout consists of 16 digital pins, 4 analog inputs and two power groups (+3.3V and 5V).

The board includes 2 DC/DC converters in series:

  • The TPS62172 from Texas Instruments is a step-down converter (buck) that regulates the input voltage VIN from the bus to 3.3V.

  • The LTC3130 is a buck boost converter that provides a regulated 5V.

Depending on which Zest Core is used, alternate functions can be assigned to I/O pins.
