Introduction

2. Getting Started

2.1 Xplained Nano Quick Start

Steps to start exploring the Microchip Xplained Nano platform:

1. Download Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.

2. Launch Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.

3. Optional: Use MPLAB® Code Configurator or Atmel START to generate drivers and examples.

4. Write your application code.

5. Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the debug USB port on the

kit.

When the Xplained Nano kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will perform a

driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® XP,

Windows Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are included with Atmel Studio/

Microchip MPLAB® X IDE.

Once the Xplained Nano board is powered, the green status LED will blink and Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X

IDE will auto-detect which Xplained Nano board is connected. Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE will present

relevant information like data sheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny416 device is programmed and debugged by

the on-board Mini Embedded Debugger and therefore, no external programmer or debugger tool is required.

3. Xplained Nano

Xplained Nano is an evaluation platform that provides a set of small boards with access to all microcontroller I/O’s.

The platform consists of a series of low pin count Microcontroller (MCU) boards, which are integrated with Atmel

Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE to present relevant user guides, application notes, data sheets, and example code

through Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X IDE. The platform also features a Virtual COM port for serial

communication to a host PC.

3.1 Mini Embedded Debugger

The ATtiny416 Xplained Nano contains the Mini Embedded Debugger (mEDBG) for on-board programming and

debugging. The mEDBG is a composite USB device of two interfaces: a debugger and a virtual COM port.

Together with Atmel Studio, the mEDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATtiny416. On ATtiny416

Xplained Nano, the UPDI interface is connected between the mEDBG and the ATtiny416.

The virtual COM port is connected to a UART on the ATtiny416 and provides an easy way to communicate with the

target application through the terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and Stop bit settings.

Note: The settings on the ATtiny416 must match the settings given in the terminal software.

Info: The virtual COM port in the mEDBG requires the terminal software to set the Data Terminal Ready

(DTR) signal to enable the UART pins connected to the ATtiny416. If the DTR signal is not enabled the

UART pins on the mEDBG are kept in high-z (tri-state), rendering the COM port unusable. The DTR signal

is automatically set by some terminal software, but it may have to be manually enabled in the target

terminal.

The mEDBG controls one status LED on the ATtiny416 Xplained Nano. The table below shows how the LED is

controlled in different operation modes.

debugging with the mEDBG

3.1.1 Xplained Nano Clock Output

The mEDBG outputs its CPU clock to the CLK pin 8, as shown in 3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout. The clock

output can be used to feed the target device with a more accurate clock if this is needed for the application.

3.2 Power Sources

The kit can be powered by different sources. By default the kit will have a 5V supply and the voltage is taken directly

from the USB port through a 500 mA PTC fuse. The voltage from the USB connector can vary between 4.4V to 5.25V

(according to USB spec).

If other voltages are required, the kit must be disconnected from the USB to avoid damage or contention to the USB

power. The mEDBG must also be disconnected from the target section of the board. The board can be powered by

applying a voltage to one of the power connections on the board, according to the table below. To avoid any power

leakage through the mEDBG, this should also be disconnected by removing the resistors shown in Figure 3-3. For

placement of power connections, see 3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout.

Power Connection Description

VUSB USB Voltage output when USB is connected (behind a PTC fuse). Can be used as power

input when USB is not used.

VREG Regulated voltage from VUSB. If the kit does not have a regulator, this is directly connected

to VUSB.

VCC Target voltage supply. By default, connected to VREG through a 0Ω resistor. Apply external

voltage here if the resistor is removed.

3.3 Xplained Nano Standard Pinout

Xplained Nano kits have a standard pinout in the mEDBG section, as shown in the tables and figure below. The

program/debug pins will change depending on the target interface but will remain at the same locations.

Xplained Nano kits have a target section where all I/O pins will be available and fanned out. Except for the VCC and

GND pins with fixed positions, there are no defined pin functions in this area. The first pin in the target area is the

VCC pin, located right next to the VREG pin of the standard section. The last pin is GND, and it is located next to the

CDC RX pin in the standard section. For reference, see the figure below.

3.4 Disconnecting mEDBG

The target device can be completely separated from the mEDBG, but this requires some small modifications to the

board using a soldering iron. By removing the resistors in the sections shown in the figure below, the mEDBG is

completely disconnected from the target controller. If desired to connect the mEDBG again, solder in 0Ω resistors or

solder in 100-mil headers on the header footprints and use wire-straps to connect the interfaces.

4.2 Current Measurement

The power to the target controller ATtiny416 is connected from the VREG supply to the targets VCC supply with a 0Ω

resistor, as shown in the figure below. To measure the power consumption of the device, remove the 0Ω resistor and

replace it with an ammeter. The ammeter can be connected between the VREG and VCC pads for easy

measurement.

ATtiny416 Xplained Nano

Hardware User Guide

Tip: To connect the two power domains again, solder in a 0Ω resistor on the footprint or a 100-mil header

on the header footprint at the edge of the board and place a jumper between VREG and VCC.

CAUTION

Removing the resistor while the kit is powered without an ammeter or jumper may cause the ATtiny416 to

be powered through its I/O pins. This may cause permanent damage to the device.
