The ToolStick-F300DC kit contains the following items:
A ToolStick daughter card requires a ToolStick Base Adapter to communicate with the PC. ToolStick Base Adapters
can be purchased at www.silabs.com/toolstick.
3. ToolStick Overview
The purpose of the ToolStick is to provide a development and demonstration platform for Silicon Laboratories
microcontrollers and to demonstrate the Silicon Laboratories software tools, including the Integrated Development
Environment (IDE).
The ToolStick development platform consists of two components: the ToolStick Base Adapter and a daughter card.
The ToolStick Base Adapter provides a USB debug interface and data communications path between a Windows
PC and a target microcontroller.
The target microcontroller and application circuitry are located on the daughter card. Some daughter cards, such
as the C8051F300 Daughter Card, are used as general-purpose development platforms for the target
microcontrollers and some are used to demonstrate a specific feature or application.
The C8051F300 Daughter Card includes a pair of LEDs, a potentiometer, a resistor across the C8051F300’s
current DAC output pin, a switch connected to a GPIO, and a small prototyping area which provides access to all of
the pins of the device. This prototyping area can be used to connect additional hardware to the microcontroller and
use the daughter card as a development platform.
Figure 3 shows the ToolStick C8051F300 Daughter Card and identifies the various components.
