Interface Applications
This chapter outlines the information and applications of some hardware interfaces of KG200Z TE-B.
Power Supply Interfaces
KG200Z can be power by J0102 (USB Type-C power supply interface) or
J0105/J0405 (2pin header). The simplified schematic of KG200Z-TE-B is shown in
the following figure.
Power Switch and Reset Button
KG200Z-TE-B includes one power switch (S0101) and one reset button (S0102) as
shown in the following figure.
Table 3: Description of Power Switch and Reset
Button
USB Connector
KG200Z-TE-B Integrated with J0102 (USB connector), which is connected with the main UART of the module via U0101 (USB-to-UART bridge). When you use the UART interface, place the jumper as shown in the following figure
J0102 supports 9600 bps baud rate by default. It is intended for data
transmission between the module and the host. It also can be used for AT
command communication
BOOT Button
KG200Z TE-B features S0103 (BOOT button) as shown as
follow.
RF Connector
KG200Z TE-B features J0103 (RF SMA connector) which connected to ANT_LoRa of
the module via an external antenna or an instrument for RF signal test. The
simplified schematic of RF connection is shown in the following
figure.
Test Points
KG200Z-TE-B features a series of test points. which can help you to obtain the
corresponding waveform of some signals. J0104, J0105, J0108, J0203, J0206,
J0208, J0209, J0202, J0110, J0109, J0106, J0107, J0101, J0207, J0204, J0205
are illustrated in the following figures
Table 4: Description of Test Points
ST-LINK Interface

Operating Procedures
The chapter outlines how to use the KG200Z-TE-B for testing and evaluating the module.
Power Up
- Connect J0102 (USB connector) of KG200Z-TE-B to PC with the USB Type-C cable.
- Switch S0101 (Power Switch) to ON state, then D0104 (VBAT ON/OFF indicator) will light up.
- Connect the pin interface of ST-LINK to J0201 (ST-LINK connector) of KG200Z-TE-B with ST-LINK main cable.
- Connect the USB interface of ST-LINK to PC with the USB Mini-B cable.
Communication via USB Connector
- Turn on the module according to the procedure mentioned in Chapter 5.1.
- “STM32 STLink” can be viewed through the PC Device Manager as shown below.
Firmware Upgrade
