NCS0 chip select signal is used for NAND Flash chip selection. Furthermore, a dedicated jumper (JP9) can disconnect it from the on-board memories, thereby letting NCS0 free for other custom purpose. 4.3.3 Clock Circuitry The clock generator of a SAM4S microcontroller is made up of:

A Low Power 32.768 Hz Slow Clock Oscillator with bypass mode. A 3 to 20 MHz Crystal Oscillator, which can be bypassed (12 MHz needed in case of USB). A factory programmed fast internal RC Oscillator. 3 output frequencies can be selected: 4 (default value), 8 or 12 MHz. A 60 to 130 MHz PLL (PLLB) providing a clock for the USB Full Speed Controller. A 60 to 130 MHz programmable PLL (PLLA), capable to provide the clock MCK to the processor and to the peripherals. The input frequency of PLLA is from 7.5 and 20 MHz.

The SAM4S-EK board is equipped with one 12 MHz crystal, optional Piezoelectric Ceramic Resonator 12 Mhz (Murata ref. CSTCE12M0G15L99-R0), one 32.768 Hz crystal and an external clock input connector (optional, not populated by default). Figure 4-3.

Evaluation Kit Hardware The SAM4S chip internally generates the following clocks:

SLCK, the Slow Clock, which is the only permanent clock of the system MAINCK, the output of the Main Clock Oscillator selection: either a Crystal Oscillator or a 4/8/12 MHz Fast RC Oscillator PLLACK, the output of the Divider and 60 to 130 MHz programmable PLL (PLLA) PLLBCK, the output of the Divider and 60 to 130 MHz programmable PLL (PLLB)

4.3.4

Reset Circuitry On-board NRST button BP1 provides an external reset control of the SAM4S. The NRST pin is bidirectional. It is handled by the on-chip reset controller. It can be driven low to provide a reset signal out to the external components. Conversely, it can be asserted low from the outside to reset the microcontroller Core and the peripherals. The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor of about 100 kOhm to VDDIO. On the SAM4S-EK board, the NRST signal is connected to the LCD module and JTAG port.
Note: At power-on, the NRST signal is asserted with a default duration of 2 clock cycles. That duration may not be sufficient to correctly reset any other system or board devices connected to that signal. First, in your custom application, you need to check for these devices' datasheets about reset duration requirements. Then, you need to set an appropriate configuration in the NRST Manager. This is done through the ERSTL field in the RSTC_MR register. The NRST duration is thereby configurable between 60 s and 2 s, whether it is subsequently activated by a software reset or a user reset. Refer to the SAM4S datasheet for in depth information.

4.3.5

Power Supply and Management The SAM4S-EK board is supplied with an external 5V DC block through input J9. It is protected by a PolyZen diode MN9 and an LC combinatory filter MN10. The PolyZen is used in the event of an incorrect power supply connection. The adjustable LDO regulator MN12 is used for the 3.3V rail main supply. It powers all the 3.3V components on the board.

VDDIO pins: Power for the Peripherals I/O lines. The voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V. VDDOUT pin: Output of the internal voltage regulator. VDDCORE pins: Power for the core, including the processor, embedded memories and peripherals. The voltage ranges from 1.62V to 1.95V. VDDPLL pin: Power for the PLL A, PLL B and 12 MHz oscillator. The voltage ranges from 1.62V to 1.95V. Note: VDDPLL should be decoupled and filtered from VDDCORE.

4.3.6

UART The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter features a two-pin UART that can be used for communication and trace purposes. It offers an ideal channel for in-situ programming solutions. This UART is associated with two PDC channels to reduce the processor time on packet handling. This two-pin UART (TXD and RXD only) is buffered through an RS232 Transceiver MN6 and brought to the DB9 male connector J7. Figure 4-5. UART

USART The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) provides one full duplex universal synchronous/asynchronous serial link. The data frame format is extensively configurable (data length, parity, number of stop bits) to support a broad range of serial communication standards. The USART is also associated with PDC channels for TX/RX data access. Note: For design optimization purposes, both transmitters have been implemented on the same PIO lines, that is PA21, 22, 23, 24 25.

To avoid any electrical conflict, the RS485 transceiver is isolated from the receiving line PA21. Should you need to implement an RS485 channel in place of the RS232, follow the procedure below: 1. make sure your software will permanently set PA23 to a high level - this will permanently disable the RS232 receiver. 2. solder a shunt resistor in place of R25 (a solder drop will do).

Display Interface The SAM4S-EK carries a TFT Transmissive LCD module with touch panel, FTM280C34D. Its integrated driver IC is ILI9325. The LCD display area is 2.8 inches diagonally measured, with a native resolution of 240 x 320 dots.

4.3.11

LCD Module The LCD module gets reset from the NRST signal. As explained, this NRST is shared with the JTAG port and the push-button BP1. The LCD chip select signal is connected to NCS1; the jumper JP13 can disconnect it so that this PIO line is available for other custom usage. The SAM4S communicates with the LCD through PIOC where an 8-bit parallel 8080-like protocol data bus has to be implemented by software.

Backlight Control The LCD backlight is made of four integrated white chip-LEDs arranged in parallel. These are driven by an AAT3155 charge pump, MN8.The AAT3155 is controlled by the SAM4S through a single PIO line PC13 interface; the 0 Ohm resistor R68 is mounted in series on this line, which permits to use it for other custom purposes. In that case, the pull-up resistor R64 maintains the charge pump permanently enabled by default. On the anode drive line, a 0 Ohm resistor R59 is implemented in series for an optional current limitation. Figure 4-9. Backlight Control

Evaluation Kit Hardware 4.3.13 Touch Screen Interface The LCD module integrates a 4-wire touch panel controlled by MN7 (ADS7843) which is a slave device on the SAM4S SPI bus. The controller sends back the information about the X and Y positions, as well as a measurement for the pressure applied to the touch panel. The touch panel can be used with either a stylus or a finger. The ADS7843 touch panel controller connects to the SPI0 interface via the NPCS0 control signal. Two interrupt signals are connected and provide events information back to the microcontroller: PenIrq and Busy. Note: PenIrq (PA16) is shared with ZigBEE signal IRQ0. Busy (PA17) is shared with ZigBEE signal IRQ1. Therefore, if using a ZigBEE interface in concurrence with the TouchScreen controller, take care not to have both drivers enabled at the same time on either PA16 or PA17.

For that purpose, 0 Ohm resistors have been implemented on these PIO lines in order to disconnect either end driver from the other:

JTAG/ICE A standard 20-pin JTAG/ICE connector is implemented on the SAM4S-EK for the connection of a compatible ARM JTAG emulator interface, such as the SAM-ICE from Segger. Notes: 1. The NRST signal is connected to BP1 system button and is also used to reset the LCD module. The 0 ohm resistor R44 may be removed in order to isolate the JTAG port from this system reset signal. 2. The TDO pin is in input mode with the pull-up resistor disabled when the Cortex M3 is not in debug mode. To avoid current consumption on VDDIO and/or VDDCORE due to floating input, the internal pull-up resistor corresponding to this PIO line must be enabled.

Audio Interface The SAM4S-EK board supports both audio recording and playback. The audio volume can be adjusted using the potentiometer RV1, and the microphone amplifier gain can be adjusted via jumpers (fixed gain of 24 or 26 dB).

4.3.16

Microphone Input The embedded microphone is connected to an audio pre-amplifier using the TS922 operational amplifier (MN11). The gain is set by using JP14 and JP15 jumpers; both must be set or removed at the same time. By modifying the jumper positions, you can select each of the following gain values:

20 dB (default setting, both JP14 and JP15 are off) 26 dB (both JP14 and JP15 are on). Note: 3. The TB1 series 0 Ohm resistor is a reservation for future impedance adaptation facility. Under specific amplifier settings conditions, this enables the easy insertion of a capacitor or any other bipolar device on the audio path. On the other hand, R83 is a default 0 Ohm resistor that enables the disconnection of PB0 from the audio input path for custom usage. 4. The audio pre-amplifier MN11 is powered by a dedicated low dropout regulator MIC5219-3.3 (MN14).

Using a readily available 1/8-in. (3,5 mm) stereo headphone jack, the control switch is closed when no plug is inserted. When closed, a 100-kOhm/1-kOhm divider pulls the ST/MN input low. When a jack plug is inserted, the 1-kOhm resistor is disconnected and the ST/MN input is pulled high. The mono speaker (J10 connector) is also physically disconnected from the RO/MO+ output so that no sound is heard from the speaker while the headphones are inserted. 4.3.17 USB Device The SAM4S UDP port is compliant with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) rev 2.0 Full Speed device specification. J15 is a micro B-type receptacle for USB device. Both 27-Ohm resistors R114 and R116 build up a 90-Ohm differential impedance together with the (embedded) 6-Ohm output impedance of the SAM4S full speed channel drivers. R110 and R112 build up a divider bridge from VBUS +5V to implement plug-in detection (5V level gets lowered to a PIO compatible 3.3V level) through PC21. Figure 4-14. USB

An on-board 50Ohm resistor termination can be applied by closing jumper JP16. A low pass filter can be implemented for the BNC connector CN1 by replacing R94 and C78 with custom resistor and capacitor values, depending on your application requirements. A 10-KOhm potentiometer (VR1) is also connected to this channel to implement an easy access to ADC programming and debugging (or implement an analog user control like display brightness, volume, etc.).

A blue LED (D2) and a green LED (D3), which are user defined and controlled by the GPIO. A red LED (D4), which is a power LED indicating that the 3.3V power rail is active. It is also controlled by the GPIO and can be treated as a user LED as well. The only difference with the two others is that it is controlled through a MOS transistor. By default, the PIO line is disabled; a pull-up resistor controls the MOS to light the LED when the power is ON).

Evaluation Kit Hardware 4.5.6 JTAG Debugging Connector J6 This JTAG connector is a 20-way Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) keyed box header (2.54 mm male) that mates with IDC sockets mounted on a ribbon cable. Its signal assignment is compatible with the SAM-ICE or any similar third-party interface. Figure 4-29. JTAG/ICE Connector J6

Table 4-15. JTAG/ICE Connector J13 Signal Descriptions

Pin Mnemonic Description This is the target reference voltage. It is used to check if the target has power, to create the logic-level reference for the input comparators and to control the output logic levels to the target. It is normally fed from Vdd on the target board and must not have a series resistor. This pin is not connected in SAM-ICE. It is reserved for compatibility with other equipment. Connect to Vdd or leave open in target system. JTAG Reset. Output from SAM-ICE to the Reset signal on the target JTAG port. Typically connected to nTRST on the target CPU. This pin is normally pulled HIGH on the target to avoid unintentional resets when there is no connection. Common ground JTAG data input of target CPU. It is recommended that this pin is pulled to a defined state on the target board. Typically connected to TDI on target CPU. Common ground JTAG mode set input of target CPU. This pin should be pulled up on the target. Typically connected to TMS on target CPU. Output signal that sequences the targets JTAG state machine, sampled on the rising edge of the TCK signal. Common ground JTAG clock signal to target CPU. It is recommended that this pin is pulled to a defined state on the target board. Typically connected to TCK on target CPU. Common ground Some targets must synchronize the JTAG inputs to internal clocks. To assist in meeting this requirement, a returned and retimed TCK can be used to dynamically control the TCK rate. SAM-ICE supports adaptive clocking which waits for TCK changes to be echoed correctly before making further changes. Connect to RTCK if available, otherwise to GND. Common ground JTAG data output from target CPU. Typically connected to TDO on target CPU. Common ground

Section 6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Board Recovery
Closing JP3 and powering the board will assert ERASE and clear GPNVM bit 1, and thereby selects the boot from the ROM by default. The MCU will boot from the internal ROM to enable a SAM-BA connection through the UART. Connect the SAM4S-EK UART port (J3) to a PC COM port through an RS232 crossover cable. You can then run the SAM-BA application from that PC to program the internal Flash of the MCU as well as the GPNVM bit 1.
