System Clock Sources
The C8051F340 device installed on the target board features a calibrated programmable internal oscillator which is enabled as the system clock source on reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of 1.5 MHz (±1.5%) by default but may be configured by software to operate at other frequencies. Therefore, in many applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F340 device at a frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to the C8051F34x datasheet for more information on configuring the system clock source.

The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal. Remove shorting blocks at headers J10 and J11 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 M resistor at R1 and install capacitors at C6 and C7 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refer to the C8051F34x datasheet for more information on the use of external oscillators.

Switches and LEDs
Three switches are provided on the target board. Switch RESET is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F340. Pressing RESET puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switches P2.0 and P2.1 are connected to the C8051F340’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins through headers. Pressing P2.0 or P2.1 generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the shorting blocks from the J12 header to disconnect Switch P2.0 and Switch P2.1 from the port pins. The port pin signals are also routed to pins on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each switch.

Three LEDs are also provided on the target board. The red LED labeled PWR LED is used to indicate a power connection to the target board. The green surface- mount LEDs labeled with port pin names are connected to the C8051F340’s GPIO pins through headers. Remove the shorting blocks from the header to disconnect the LEDs from the port pin. The port pin signals are also routed to pins on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each LED.

Also included on the C8051F340 target board is a 10 K Thumb-Wheel Rotary Potentiometer, part number R10. The Potentiometer is connected to the C8051F340’s P2.5 pin through the J17 header. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the Potentiometer from the port pin. The port pin signal is also routed to a pin on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pin and header corresponding to the Potentiometer.

Table 1. Target Board I/O Descriptions

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface (J14)

USB Self-Powered Configuration (J8)
The C8051F340 target board can be configured as a self-powered USB device to take power from the USB cable instead of the ac/dc adapter connected at P1. To configure the target boards as a self-powered USB device, short the VREGIN and VBUS pins on the J8 header

Note: When the C8051F340 target board is self-powered from the USB, the Serial Adapter is not powered from the target board. The Serial Adapter must be powered directly by connecting the ac/dc adapter to the Serial Adapters’ dc power jack. Also, the RS232 Serial Interface (P4) cannot be used when powering the target board from the USB.

Target Board DEBUG Interface (J9)
The DEBUG connector (J9) provides access to the DEBUG (C2) pins of the C8051F340. It is used to connect the Serial Adapter or the USB Debug Adapter to the target board for in-circuit debugging and Flash programming.
Table 4 shows the DEBUG pin definitions.

Serial Interface (P4)
A RS232 transceiver circuit and DB-9 (P4) connector are provided on the target board to facilitate serial connections to UART0 of the C8051F340. The TX, RX, RTS and CTS signals of UART0 may be connected to the DB-9 connector and transceiver by installing shorting blocks on header J12.
J12[9-10]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 TX (P0.4) to transceiver.
J12[11-12]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RX (P0.5) to transceiver.
J12[13-14]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RTS (P2.6) to transceiver.
