MICROCHIP TA100 24 Pad VQFN Socket Board

Introduction

The TA100 24-Pad VQFN mikroBUS™-compatible socket board was developed for use with any of Microchip’s microcontroller boards that support a MikroElektronika mikroBUS interface. The board’s dimensions match the medium-sized add-on board as defined in the mikroBUS specification. Through use of an adapter board, the socket board can also be used with Microchip microcontroller development boards that support an Xplained Pro Interface.
The TA100 secure elements are one-time-programmable devices. Having a socket board allows for a customer to reuse the board with multiple TA100 sample devices for a given application or for multiple different applications. The 24-Pad VQFN socket board and TA100 secure element support both an I2C and SPI Interface.

Board Configuration
TA100 24-Pad VQFN Socket Board Jumper Configurations

  • 3.3V Power: J3 with shunt across 3V3 and PWR positions
  • 5.0V Power: J3 with shunt across 5V and PWR positions
  • GPIO1 Connected to IO1A: J5 with Shunt across GPIO1 and IO1A
  • GPIO1 Connected to IO1B: J5 with Shunt across GPIO1 and IO1B

Supply Current Measurement
The current consumption of the TA100 device can be measured by using the EV39Y17A 24-Pad VQFN socket board. The only devices on the board that will consume power are the TA100 socketed device, the Power LED and the I2C pull-up resistors. Follow these steps to measure the current:

  1. Modify the board to remove the resistor, R1, which is in series with the LED. This will remove the current through the LED from the total measured current.(1)
  2. Install the TA100 device into the socket.
  3. Install the socket board into the host system with the appropriate power settings.
  4. Select either 3.3V or 5V power for the measurement.(2)
  5. Connect the high side of the ammeter to the 3.3V or 5V supply.
  6. Connect the low side of the ammeter to the common PWR signal of the header.
  7. Current measurements can now be taken by running various TA100 commands and measuring the current. (3)

Notes:

  1. For lower accuracy current measurements, this resistor may be kept in the circuit. It is recommended that a separate measurement of the current through just the LED path be made prior to measuring the TA100 device currents. This value can, then, be subtracted from the total current measured.
  2. The host board provides power to the mikroBUS extension board, so whichever supply is selected must match the capabilities and setting used on the host board.
  3. When measuring the current of I2C devices, the measurement will include the I2C pull-up currents used to pull up the bus. For SPI signals, the pull-ups are internal to the device and will also factor into the total current consumed.

Connecting the Board

The form factor of the EV39Y17A development board was chosen because Microchip has heavily adopted the use of the mikroBUS connector on host boards. Many of Microchip’s development platforms will support one or more mikroBUS interfaces. These include:

  • Microchip Explorer 16/32 Development Board
  • MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Board
  • Automotive Networking Development Board
  • PIC® Curiosity Boards
  • PIC Curiosity Nano Boards
  • AVR® Curiosity Nano Boards
  • SAM Xplained-Pro microcontroller development boards when used with an ATMBusAdapter

Xplained Pro Connections
By using an adapter board, the EV39Y17A development board can still be used with Microchip development boards that only support the Xplained Pro interface. Figure 2-1 shows the full assembly of the , the ATMBUSADAPTER-XPRO and an ATSAMV71-XULT Development Board.

Powering the SAMV71-XULT Board
Multiple options exist for powering the SAMV71-XULT Development Board. Depending on the total current requirements, different options are allowed. See the SAMV71-XULT User Guide for more information.

  • External Power Jack Input
    • 2.1 mm barrel connector
    • 5-14V input supply Maximum current of 2.0A
    • 12V 18W Power Adapter Option: Triad Magnetics WSU120-1500

  • Target USB Connection; max. of 500 mA
  • External Power Header
    • 2-pin 100 mil Header
    • Direct 5V Supply
    • Max. 2A of current

ATMBUSAdapter Power Settings
The ATMBUSAdapter allows power to be connected to the MikroBus Host adapter either directly through the XPRO interface or by providing external power through the EXT header. It is important that all jumpers are connected correctly before connecting to the SAMV71-XULT or other boards with an XPRO interface to prevent possible damage to the system.
MICROCHIP-TA100-24-Pad-QFN-Socket-Board-4

  1. Option 1: Direct Power from the XPRO Extension
    • Determine if the XPRO Board outputs a 3.3V or 5.0V supply voltage.
    • Connect the J3 shunt “C”of the EV39Y17A to the appropriate 3.3V or 5.0V supply.
    • Connect the ATMBUSAdapter power shunt “A” to the same voltage as the XPRO supply.
  2. Option 2: External Power Connected to the ATMBUSAdapter.
    • Remove the Power Shunt “A” from the ATMBUSAdapter. This disconnects power from the XPRO Header.
    • Connect either 3.3V or 5.0V external power to the Ext Header “B” on the ATMBUSAdapter
    • Make sure the J3 shunt on the EV39Y17A is placed across the correct connections for the External Power Supply chosen.

| TA100 Configurator GUI and TA100

Library

| The TA100 Configurator GUI provides the ability to configure and pseudo- provision TA100 devices, and to illustrate how the TA100 can be used for various applications such as Secure Boot, Device Authentication and CAN-MAC. These applications perform many cryptographic operations using the TA100 library.

AUTOSAR™ 4.3.1

CRYPTO driver(1)

| CRYPTO driver specifications provide an abstraction layer to integrate an external cryptographic device, such as the TA100, into the AUTOSAR™ stack. This

allows for code to be portable between various applications that use different microcontrollers.

Important:

For projects that use the AUTOSAR Driver, the AUTOSAR™ Reference Stack is also needed.
AUTOSAR™ is an open and standardized automotive software architecture. The TA100 is integrated into 3rd party AUTOSAR™ software stacks to aid customers in the implementation of automotive applications. Contact Microchip for a list of 3rd Party AUTOSAR™ stack vendors that support the TA100.

Use Case Examples
Use Case examples use the TA100 Configurator GUI to demonstrate various sample applications that can be implemented using the TA100 and SAM V71 microcontroller. These sample applications come with the necessary microcontroller firmware, detailed application user guide and other documentation describing the use case in more detail. Table 3-2 provides some of the use case examples that are available from the myMicrochip website. Upgrades to these use case examples and additional use case examples will be provided over time via the same path.

Table 3-2. Use Case Examples

Item # Use Case Examples (1) Description

Device Authentication

| Provides device authentication by verifying the chain of trust using Signer and Device Certificates and a Random Challenge. Upon successful authentication, a known string is encrypted and written to a data element or read and decrypted from a data element inside the TA100.
2| Full Stored Secure Boot with Pre-Boot| Secure Boot use case that, upon initial boot, calculates the digest of the firmware code and, then, stores it for faster subsequent secure boots.
3| CAN Bootloader| Secure Boot use case that allows for a secure firmware upgrade via the CAN Bus using the SAMV71 microcontroller, K2L MOCCA-FD tool and PC-based GUI.

CAN-MAC

Authentication

| This use case demonstrates a mechanism to add an AES C-MAC to authenticate CAN-FD messages. This mechanism can be used to ensure data integrity and authenticity of the transmit node. TA-configurator GUI will import a CAN- database file to populate the CAN-MAC tab of the GUI. The user can use the TA- configurator GUI to select which messages need authentication, assign C-MAC keys and to configure message payload structure.
