The ToolStick-F912DC 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 C8051F912 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 C8051F912 Daughter Card includes a pair of GPIO controlled LEDs, a potentiometer, a switch connected to a
GPIO, a capacitive touch sense switch, 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. The C8051F912 Daughter Card also includes an A76 1.5 V alkaline
battery which can be used to power the board when not connected to the Toolstick Base Adapter. The C8051F912
will continue to operate from the single “button cell” battery until the supply voltage drops below 0.9 V.
Figure 3 shows the ToolStick C8051F912 Daughter Card and identifies the various components.
