The C8051F336 ToolStick DC (TOOLSTICK336DC) kit contains the following items:
ToolStick C8051F336 Daughter Card
A ToolStick daughte r card requires a ToolStick Base Adapter to communicate with the PC. ToolStick Base Adapters
can be purchased separately 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 C8051F336 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 C8051F336 Daughter Card includes a pair of LEDs, a potentiometer, a resistor across the C8051F336’s
current DAC output pin, and a small prototyping area which provides access to all of the pins of the device. This
prototyping area can be used to conn ect a dd itio nal hardwar e to th e micr ocontroller a nd use the daughte r car d as a
developme nt platform.
Figure 3 shows the ToolStick C8051F336 Daughter Card and identifies the various components.
