WARNING

ESD-Sensitive Electronic Equipment!

The evaluation kit is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board system must not be sub-

ject to high electrostatic potentials.

We strongly recommend using a grounding strap or similar ESD protective device when handling

the board in hostile ESD environments (offices with synthetic carpet, for example). Avoid touching

the component pins or any other metallic element on the board.

WARNING

Hardware Power Supply Limitation

Using a power adapter greater than 5Vcc (e.g. the 12Vcc power adapters from other kits such as

Arduino kits) may damage the board.

WARNING

Hardware Power Budget

Using the USB as the main power source (max. 500 mA) is acceptable only with the use of the on-

board peripherals and low-power LCD extension.

When external peripheral or add-on boards need to be powered, we recommend the use of an exter-

nal power adapter connected to a J2 DC Jack (can provide up to 1.2A on the 3.3V node).

2. Power-Up

Several power source options are available to power up the SAMA5D3 Xplained board.

The board can be:

• USB-powered through the USB Micro-AB connector (J6 connector - default configuration)

• Powered through an external AC-to-DC adapter connected via a 2.1 mm center-positive plug into the optional power jack of the

board. The recommended output voltage range of the power adapter is 5V at 2A.

• Powered through the Arduino shield

2.1 Power up the Board

Unpack the board, taking care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Simply connect the USB Micro-AB cable to the connector (J6).Then, con-

nect the other end of the cable to a free USB port of your PC.

2.2 Sample Code and Technical Support

After booting up the board, you can run sample code or your own application on the board. You can download sample code and get tech-

nical support from the Microchip website.

Linux®software and demos can be found on the website Linux4SAM.

WARNING

Unlike Arduino Uno boards, the SAMA5D3 Xplained board runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that

the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages (e.g. 5V) to an I/O pin could damage the

board.

4.2 Function Blocks

Figure 4-2: Evaluation Kit Architecture

4.2.1 Processor

The SAMA5D3 Xplained board is built around the SAMA5D36, a Cortex-A5 application processor which combines high-performance com-

puting device with low-power consumption and a wide range of communication peripherals. It features a combination of user interface

functionalities and high data rate IOs, including LCD controller, touchscreen, camera interface, Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet ports, high-

speed USB and SDIO.

The ARM Cortex-A5 supports the latest generation of DDR2 and NAND Flash memory interfaces for program and data storage. An internal

166-MHz multi-layer bus architecture associated with 24 DMA channels and two 64-Kbyte SRAM blocks, sustains the high bandwidth

required by the processor and the high-speed peripherals.

4.2.2 Clock Circuitry

The SAMA5D3 Xplained evaluation board features four clock sources:

• Two clocks are alternatives for the SAMA5D3 series processor main clock

• Two crystal oscillators are used for the GETH and Ethernet MII/RMII chip

4.2.3 Power Supplies

The on-board power supply generation is based on the Active-Semi®Power Management Unit (PMU) featuring a 3-channel (3.3V / 1.8V

/1.2V or 1.0V) topology. For maximum efficiency, these supply channels are generated by three integrated step-down converters.

In addition to these 3 DCDC channels, 4 LDO channels with low noise and high PSRR performance are available for the application. These

channels are disabled at startup by default and can be turned on and adjusted under software control through an I²C link. They are also

used to supply the 2.5V VDDFUSE and the 3.3V VDDANA power inputs of the processor.

The power supply sequencing of the three primary channels is controlled by the PMU itself in full compliance with the SAMAD3 require-

ments. The turn-on sequence is: 3.3V first, then 1.8V and finally 1.2V.

Table 4-3 summarizes the power specifications.

WARNING

There is a known error on the ACT8865 I²C implementation. The port must be shut off after config-

uration or problems may occur with devices using the same I²C channel, e.g., TM43xx LCD display.

Refer to the ACT8865 data sheet at http://www.active-semi.com/ for more details.

WARNING

This evaluation kit was equipped with an engineering version of ACT8865 PMIC known as

ACT8865QI303-T. The singularity of this engineering version is that OUT4 and OUT5 outputs, nor-

mally enabled at power-up, are disabled at power-up. Consequently, VDDANA and VDDFUSE

power inputs of the processor are OFF when the external reset pin (NRST) is released. They must

therefore be turned on by software in the very first execution steps of the application. In particular,

VDDFUSE is needed to switch SAMA5D3 devices in Secure mode.

The engineering version ACT8865QI303-T of the active semi PMIC is end-of-life (EOL) and replaced

by ACT8865QI305-T devices that have OUT4 and OUT5 enabled by default at power-up. Refer to

the following application note:

Note: Jumper footprints are available on-board to measure power consumption on main power lines. By default, the jumpers are not

implemented. They are short-circuited by a thin PCB wire. To use this functionality, open the short circuit and mount a 2-pin

jumper.
