GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADuCM420 is a fully integrated, single package device that incorporates high performance analog peripherals together with digital peripherals. The ADuCM420 features 12-bit, 2 MSPS data acquisition on up to 16 input pins, an Arm® Cortex®-M33 processor, 12 voltage digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and 2× 256 kB Flash/EE memories, packaged in a 64-ball wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
The ADuCM420 development system (E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z) is fully packaged to evaluate all features of the ADuCM420, a high precision analog microcontroller. The ADuCM420 includes 12 external AINx channels, voltage output DACs (VDACs) and various shared functions with the general-purpose input/outputs (GPIOs) that are configurable through registers. The VDAC channels generate an output range up to 2.5 V or 3.3 V full scale. The E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z board uses a low noise, low dropout (LDO) linear regulator to power up the device. The ADuCM420 is powered up using the following three options: a 9 V wall wart adapter, a 5 V external supply terminal block, and a USB supply.
This user guide describes how to configure the E VA L ADUCM420QSP1Z evaluation board by providing step by step procedures about the connections on the evaluation boards. This user guide also contains information regarding which evaluation versions of the third-party software tools to download. Additionally, this user guide provides instructions on how to load the supplied code examples. See Figure 1 for a photograph of the E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z board. Following this guide allows users to generate and download their own user code to use in their own unique end system requirements. Complete specifications for the ADucM420 are available in the ADuCM420 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES AND DEFAULT LINK OPTIONS
The E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z development system can be powered with the following options: a 5 V terminal block from bench supplies, a 9 V wall mounted adapter, or a USB supply. See Table 1 for the on-board jumper configurations for each power supply option and other optional connectors. Locate
Pin 1 for each header pin for the supply. For any of the power supply options, place the jumpers shown in Table 1 in the required operating setup before supplying
power to the EVA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z (see Figure 2). Each power supply is decoupled to the relevant ground plane with 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors. Each device supply pin is also decoupled with a 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitor pair to the relevant ground plane.
EVAL-ADUCM420QSP1Z Board Interface
The ADuCM420 has on-chip digital peripheral interfaces, such as a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), serial peripheral interface (SPI), management data input/output (MDIO), and I 2 C. See Figure 1 for the on-board component locations.
Bench Power Supply Option
The ADuCM420 requires 5 V for normal operation. Replicating the jumper configuration in Table 1, the 5 V terminal block supply passes through LDO regulators to regulate the power supply. The ADuCM420 can also configure the IOVDD1 and DVDD power supplies to be 1.2 V or 1.8 V, and 1.8 V or 3.3 V, respectively. To configure these supply options, select the required position on Jumper P11 for IOVDD1 and Jumper P15 for DVDD. P11 and P15 are on the solder side (bottom side of the evaluation board.

ARDUINO CONNECTOR
The E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z has Arduino R3 headers directly compatible with Arduino Uno and Arduino Zero. The Arduino pins used by the E VA L -ADUCM420QSP1Z board are given in Table 3.
For more information on the ADuCM420 pins, refer to the ADuCM420 data sheet and ADuCM420 hardware reference manual (UG-1807).
By default, the EVAL-ADuCM420QSP1Z board is configured as an Arduino slave board, with connectors populated only on the component side of the PCB.
If the EVAL-ADuCM420QSP1Z board is to be configured as an Arduino host, populate a different connector type on the solder side with the following guidelines:

  • P16 and P19: 8-pin, single-row headers, 2.54 mm pitch (for example, the Samtec SSQ-108-03-G-S)
  • P21: 6-pin, single-row header, 2.54 mm pitch (for example, the Samtec SSQ-106-03-G-S)
  • P13: 10-pin, single-row headers, 2.54 mm pitch (for example, the Samtec SSQ-110-03-G-S)

Figure 3 shows the appropriate connector type. For proper slave adapter connection, ensure the female part is on the solder side with the long pins protruding through to the component side. ANALOG DEVICES ADuCM420

ANALOG DEVICES ADuCM420 Development System - fig 25

SRAM MODE SETTINGS

Configuration settings are available on the Keil and IAR software tool environments. To properly set up and test the static random access memory (SRAM) modes, go to the
example projects located in the M420_SramMode installer.
IAR SRAM Mode Three file settings must be completed to configure the corresponding SRAM mode: main.c, startup_ADuCM420.s, and ADuCM420flash_SramMode.icf.

  1. After the example program is opened from the IAR IDE, ensure that the macros shown in Figure 30 are set up and commented in to select the SRAM mode the linker file is operating in. The M420SramMode example code (see Figure 31) uses a linker file, the ADuCM420flash SramMode.icf file (see Figure 32) placed in the IAR folder within the SramMode example program.

  2. Configure the macros shown in Figure 30, Figure 31, and Figure 32 to run the SRAM modes. Ensure the main.c, startup_ADuCM420.s, and
    ADuCM420flash_SramMode.icf macros are selected with the correct SRAM mode.

  3. Users can select the desired USER_SRAM_MODE macro as shown in Figure 31 and Figure 32. Users can also select the TEST_SRAM_MODE macro as shown in Figure 30. By default, the example program is running in TESTSRAM MODE 0. Ensure the main.c macro, which runs the debug mode, shows that the instruction SRAM (ISRAM) is placed in debug mode. If the ISRAM is in debug mode, the Disassembly window from the View menu bar displays the isramTestFunc with the 0x10000000 address (see Figure 33). ANALOG DEVICES ADuCM420 Development System - fig 28ANALOG DEVICES ADuCM420 Development System - fig 29

Keil SRAM Mode
Several .sct and .s files from the example program allow users to select the desired SRAM: M420_SramModeX.sct and SetSramModeX.s. The X in the file name specifies the mode number (0 to 3) for the SRAM.

  1. After the example program is opened from the Keil IDE, the files located in the same folder are shown. Ensure that the .sct and .s files from the example folder (see Figure 34) are used with the corresponding SRAM mode being tested.
  2. By default, the M420_SramMode macro uses SRAM Mode 0. The SetSramMode0.s assembly file is added to the subdirectory as shown in Figure 35. Specify which SRAM mode to test in the main.c file. By default, SRAM Mode 0 is tested (see Figure 36).
  3. After following Step 1 and Step 2, proceed to set up the .sct file located in Flash > Configure Fl ash To ols > Linker. Refer to Figure 37 to check the settings highlighted in green are correct and that the correct scatter file is chosen (based on the SRAM mode configuration).
  4. Running the settings in Figure 38 shows that the ISRAM is placed in debug mode via the Disassembly window.ANALOG DEVICES ADuCM420 Development System - fig 33

SAFE CODE DEBUGGING/DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

The ADuCM420 code development and programming tools are similar or identical to those used on other Analog Devices, Inc., microcontroller devices and to microcontrollers from other companies. Care must be taken to ensure the device can be reprogrammed to avoid lockup situations. In a lockup, the connection to the ADuCM420 via programming and debug tools is no longer possible.
This section lists scenarios that can cause lockup situations. If a lockup situation occurs, recommendations are provided to recover a device.
SCENARIOS THAT CAUSE DEVICE LOCKUPS
Page 0 Checksum Error
Address 0x1FFC contains a 32-bit checksum for Flash Page 0.
The on-chip kernel performs a checksum on Page 0 excluding 0x1FFC to 0x1FFF. If the kernel result does not match the value at 0x1FFC or if 0x1FFC value is not 0xFFFFFFFF, the kernel detects corruption of Page 0 and does not exit to user code, resulting in a device lockup. See the ADuCM420 hardware reference manual (UG-1807) for information about an integrity check of the internal Flash Page 0 by the on-chip kernel. To recover from this situation, mass erase the device via the downloader tool (I
2 C or MDIO), and ensure the user source code sets Flash Address 0x01FFC = 0xFFFFFFFF. The example code for the ADuCM420 configures Flash Address 0x01FFC = 0xFFFFFFFF. See page0_checksum in the system_ADuCM420.c file.
User Flash Pages—Corruption of Reserved Locations
The top six 32-bit locations of each flash block are reserved, and care must be taken not to overwrite these locations. The flash signature for each block and the write protection settings are stored in these six locations. See the ADuCM420 hardware reference manual for information about flash user space organization.
Ensure the top 32-bit location in each flash page is reserved. See the example programs included in the installer for details. Unexpected Resets
Unexpected watchdog resets, software resets, power-on resets, or external resets can cause debug and programming sessions to end abruptly because these resets break the serial wire debug (SWD) interface between the J-Link and the Cortex core. If the user source code results in regular resets, mass erase the user flash via the downloader and restart the debug session.
Power Saving Modes
If the user code puts the Cortex core into a power-down state, the power-down causes issues after a power cycle for the debug tools that use the SWD interface. Tools like J-Link require the Cortex core to be fully active.
Keil CMSIS Pack
For Keil µVision users only, ensure Keil CMSIS pack Version 0.8.0 or later is being used.
RECOVERING LOCKED UP DEVICES Mass erase the device via either the MDIO or I 2 C downloader tool.
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC ARRAY (PLA) TOOL
The ADuCM420 integrates a PLA that consists of two independent but interconnected PLA blocks. Each block consists of 16 elements, giving a total of 32 elements, from
Element 0 to Element 31. The PLA tool is a graphical tool that allows easy configuration of the PLA. The PLA tool can be found on the ADuCM420 installer, under the Tools folder. With the PLA tool, the correct output value is determined after all the options from the tool is properly selected.
CONFIGURING THE GATES AND OUTPUT
Each PLA element contains a two-input lookup table that can be configured to generate logic output function based on the two inputs and flip flop in the PLA, as shown in Figure 39. Each PLA element in a block can be connected to other elements in the same block by configuring the output of Mux 0 and Mux 1.
The user can select respective inputs that correspond to the PLA_ELEMx register bits. See the ADuCM420 hardware reference manual for a complete list of possible connections for the element GPIO input/output, and for the lookup table configuration in the PLA.
After the inputs are selected from the GUI, ensure that the BLOCK, ELEMENT, and LOOK UP TABLE options are selected in the top right portion of the tool. Click the ENTER button to generate the output of PLA (see Figure 39). ANALOG
