Please make sure that the USB port is able to provided at least 500mA. Power from the USB is regulated down to 3.3V by the on board Torex XC9258A step-down regulator. VUSB PIN The pin is internally connected to the VBUS of the USB port. The typical output should be around 4.5 to 5 VDC when the device is plugged into the USB port and 0 when not connected to a USB source. You can use this pin to power peripherals that operate at such voltages. Do not exceed the current rating of the USB port, which is nominally rated to 500mA. This pin is also protected with an internal fuse rated at 1000mA. LiPo https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/mesh/xenon-datasheet/ 3/22 2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Xenon datasheet If you want to make your projects truly wireless, you can power the device with a single cell LiPo/Lithium Ion (3.7V). The Xenon has an on board LiPo charger that will charge and power the device when USB source is plugged in, or power the device from the LiPo alone in the absence of the USB. NOTE: Please pay attention to the polarity of the LiPo connector. Not all LiPo batteries follow the same polarity convention! Li+ PIN This pin is internally connected to the positive terminal of the LiPo connector. You can connect a single cell LiPo/Lithium Ion or a DC supply source to this pin for powering the Xenon. Remember that the input voltage range on this pin is 3.6 to 4.2 VDC. 3V3 PIN This pin is the output of the on board 3.3V step-down switching regulator (Torex XC9258A). The regulator is rated at 1000mA max. When using this pin to power other devices or peripherals remember to budget in the current requirement of the Xenon first. This pin can also be used to power the Xenon in absence of the USB or LiPo power. When https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/mesh/xenon-datasheet/ 4/22 2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Xenon datasheet powering over this pin, please connect the ENABLE pin to GND so that the on board regulator is disabled. Antenna There are two options for the Mesh antenna on the Xenon. It comes with an on-board PCB antenna which is selected by default in the device OS and a u.FL connector if you wish to connect an external antenna. If you wish to use the external antenna, you'll need to issue an appropriate command in the firmware.

Qualification and approvals Model Number: XENN RoHS CE FCC ID: 2AEMI-XENN IC: 20127-XENN Product Handling ESD Precautions https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/mesh/xenon-datasheet/ 16/22 2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Xenon datasheet The Xenon contains highly sensitive electronic circuitry and is an Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD). Handling Xenon without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage it permanently. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates Xenon. ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the Xenon is mounted. Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the Xenon! Connectors There are four connectors on the Xenon that will get damaged with improper usage. The JST connector on the circuit board, where you plug in the LiPo battery, is very durable but the connector on the battery itself is not. When unplugging the battery, take extra precaution to NOT pull the connector using the wires, but instead hold the plug at its base to avoid putting stress on the wires. This can be tricky with bare hands - nose pliers are your friend here. The micro B USB connector on the Xenon is soldered on the PCB with large surface pads as well as couple of through hole anchor points. Despite this reinforcement, it is very easy to rip out the connector if too much stress is put on in the vertical direction. https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/mesh/xenon-datasheet/ 17/22 2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Xenon datasheet The u.FL antenna connector is a very fragile piece of hardware ( and is fancy too with all the gold plating). The connector was not designed to be constantly plugged and unplugged. Care must be taken not to put stress on it at any time (yes, swinging the Xenon by the antenna is a very bad idea, this is not your cat). The antenna pin is also the most static sensitive and you can destroy the radio with improper handling. If you are feeling adventurous, we highly recommend putting a tiny dab of glue (epoxy, rubber cement, liquid tape or hot glue) on the connector to securely hold the plug in place. The 10 pin SWD connector provides an easy in-system debugging access to the device. The pins on the connector can easily be damaged if the mating connector cable is inserted improperly. If you are trying to debug the device, you probably are not in a good mood to begin with. The last thing you want is to render the connector useless. Be nice, and be gentle on the connector. Good luck with the debugging! Breadboarding The breadboard provided with the Xenon is specifically designed to require low insertion force. This makes it easy to plug the Xenon in and out of the breadboard. If you end up using a different breadboard, remember that it may require more force. In this case, always remember to pinch-hold your precious Xenon by the sides (along the header pins) when plugging-unplugging and not by the USB connector (don't be this person). Default settings The Xenon comes preprogrammed with a bootloader and a user application called Tinker. This application works with an iOS and Android app also named Tinker that allows you to https://docs.particle.io/datasheets/mesh/xenon-datasheet/ 18/22 2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Xenon datasheet very easily toggle digital pins, take analog and digital readings and drive variable PWM outputs. The bootloader allows you to easily update the user application via several different methods, USB, OTA, Serial Y-Modem, and also internally via the Factory Reset procedure. All of these methods have multiple tools associated with them as well.
