This header allows an external programmer (e.g. CODEGRIP or mikroProg) to be used. To enable the JTAG interface, two SMD jumpers labeled as JP3 and JP4 (3) must be populated. These jumpers are unpopulated by default, optimizing the pin count so that more pins could be used for a large number of MC U s F E AT U RE S onboard modules and peripherals. 3 Programming the microcontroller can also be done by using the bootloader which is preprogrammed into the device by default. All the informations about the bootloader software can be found on the following page: www.mikroe.com/mikrobootloader 5 PAGE 8 1.2 MCU reset The board is equipped with the Reset button (4), which is located on the front side of the board. It is used to generate a LOW logic level on the 4 microcontroller reset pin. The reset pin of the host MCU is also routed to the pin 1 of the 1x26 pin header (5), allowing an external signal to reset 2 the device.

Power supply unit The power supply unit (PSU) provides clean and regulated power, necessary for proper operation of the mikromedia 5 development board. The host MCU, along with the rest of the peripherals, demands regulated and noise-free power supply. Therefore, the PSU is carefully designed to regulate, filter, and distribute the power to all parts of mikromedia 5. It is POWE R S U P P LY equipped with four different power supply inputs, offering all the flexibility that mikromedia 5 needs, especially when used on the field or as an integrated element of a larger system. In the case when multiple power sources are used, an automatic power switching circuit with predefined priorities ensures that the most appropriate will be used. PAGE 9 The PSU also contains a reliable and safe battery charging circuit, which allows a single-cell Li-Po/Li-Ion battery to be charged. Power OR-ing option is also supported, providing an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) functionality when an external or USB power source is used in combination with the battery. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L Figure 3: Power supply unit view 2.1 Detailed description 2.2 Voltage reference The PSU has a very demanding task of providing power for the host MCU and all The MCP1501, a high-precision buffered voltage reference from Microchip the peripherals onboard, as well as for the externally connected peripherals. is used to provide a very precise voltage reference with no voltage drift. It One of the key requirements is to provide enough current, avoiding the can be used for various purposes: the most common uses include voltage voltage drop at the output. Also, the PSU must be able to support multiple references for A/D converters, D/A converters, and comparator peripherals power sources with different nominal voltages, allowing switching between on the host MCU. The MCP1501 can provide up to 20mA, limiting its use them by priority. The PSU design, based on a set of high-performance power exclusively to voltage comparator applications with high input impedance. switching ICs produced by Microchip, ensures a very good quality of the Depending on the specific application, either 3.3V from the power rail, output voltage, high current rating, and reduced electromagnetic radiation. or 2.048V from the MCP1501 can be selected. An onboard SMD jumper POWE R S U P P LY labeled as REF SEL offers two voltage reference choices: At the input stage of the PSU, the MIC2253, a high-efficiency boost regulator IC with overvoltage protection ensures that the voltage input at the next ∫ REF: 2.048V from the high-precision voltage reference IC stage is well-regulated and stable. It is used to boost the voltage of low- ∫ 3V3: 3.3V from the main power supply rail voltage power sources (a Li-Po/Li-Ion battery and USB), allowing the next stage to deliver well-regulated 3.3V and 5V to the development board. A set of discrete components are used to determine if the input power source requires a voltage boost. When multiple power sources are connected at once, this circuitry is also used to determine the input priority level: externally connected 12V PSU, power over USB, and the Li-Po/Li-Ion battery. P A G E 10 The transition between available power sources is designed to provide uninterrupted operation of the development board. The next PSU stage uses two MIC28511, synchronous step-down (buck) regulators, capable of providing up to 3A. The MIC28511 IC utilizes the HyperSpeed Control® and HyperLight Load® architectures, providing an ultra-fast transient response and high light-load efficiency. Each of the two buck regulators is used to supply power to the corresponding power supply rail (3.3V and 5V), throughout the entire development board and connected peripherals. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 2.3 PSU connectors As explained, the advanced design of the PSU allows several types of power sources to be used, offering unprecedented flexibility: when powered by a Li-Po/Li-Ion battery, it offers an ultimate degree of autonomy. For situations where the power is an issue, it can be powered by an external 12VDC power supply, connected over the 5.5mm barrel connector or over the two-pole screw terminal. Power is not an issue even if it is powered over the USB cable. It can be powered over the USB-C connector, using power supply delivered by the USB HOST (i.e. personal computer), USB wall There are four power supply connectors available, each with its unique purpose: ∫ CN5: USB-C connector (1) ∫ CN7: 12VDC barrel-type connector (2) POWE R S U P P LY adapter, or a battery power bank. ∫ TB1: Screw terminal for an external 12VDC PSU (3) 2.3.1 USB-C connector The USB-C connector (labeled as CN5) provides power from the USB host (typically PC), USB power bank, or USB wall adapter. When powered over the Figure 4: Power supply connectors view 3 1 2 mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 4 USB connector, the available power will depend on the source capabilities.

When using an external power supply, it is possible to obtain an optimal amount of power, since one external power supply unit can be easily exchanged with another, while its power and operating characteristics can be decided per application. The development board allows a maximum current of 2.8A per power rail (3.3V and 5V) when using an external 12V power supply. The barrel-type connector is useful for connecting walladapters, while the screw terminal is a good choice when there is no connector installed at the end of the PSU cable. 12V barrel-type connector and screw terminal should not be used simultaneously by two different power supplies, as the connectors are routed in parallel. When using a PC as the power source, the maximum power can be obtained Maximum power ratings, along with the allowed input voltage range in the if the host PC supports the USB 3.2 interface, and is equipped with USB-C case when the external power supply is used, are given in the table Figure 6: NOTE connectors. If the host PC uses the USB 2.0 interface, it will be able to provide the least power, since only up to 500 mA (2.5W at 5V) is available External power supply in that case. Note that when using longer USB cables or USB cables of low quality, the voltage may drop outside the rated operating voltage range, causing unpredictable behavior of the development board.

The power supply redundancy also allows for an uninterrupted operation (i.e. UPS functionality, the battery will still provide power if the USB cable is removed, without resetting mikromedia 5 POWE R S U P P LY during the transition period). 2.5 Powering up the mikromedia 5 board P A G E 14 After a valid power supply source is connected (1) in our case with a singlecell Li-Po/Li-Ion battery, mikromedia 5 can be powered ON. This can be done by a small switch at the edge of the board, labeled as SW1 (2). By switching it ON, the PSU module will be enabled, and the power will be distributed throughout the board. A LED indicator labeled as PWR indicates that the mikromedia 5 is powered ON. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L POWE R S U P P LY P A G E 15 1 2 Figure 8: Battery power supply connection mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 3.

Data storage The mikromedia 5 development board is equipped with two STO RAGE types of storage memory: with a microSD card slot and a Flash memory module. P A G E 18 4.1 microSD card slot 1 The microSD card slot (1) allows storing large amounts of data externally, on a microSD memory card. It uses the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication with the MCU. The microSD card detection circuit is also provided on the board. The microSD card is the smallest SD Card version, measuring only 5 x 11 mm. Despite its small size, it allows tremendous amounts of data to be stored on it. In order to read and write to the SD Card, a proper software/firmware running on the host MCU is required. 4.2 External flash storage mikromedia 5 is equipped with the SST26VF064B Flash memory (2). The Flash memory module has a density of 64 Mbits. Its storage cells are arranged in 8-bit words, resulting in 8Mb of non-volatile memory in total, available for various applications. The most distinctive features of the SST26VF064B Flash module are its high speed, very high endurance, and very good data retention period. It can withstand up to 100,000 cycles, and it can preserve the stored information for more than 100 years. It also uses the SPI interface for the communication with the MCU. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 5. Connectivity mikromedia 5 offers a huge number of connectivity options. It includes support for the Ethernet, WiFi, RF and USB (HOST/ DEVICE). Besides those options, it also offers two 1x26 pin headers, which are used to directly access the MCU pins. Ethernet is a popular computer networking technology for local area networks (LAN). Systems communicating over Ethernet divide a stream of data into individual packets, known as frames. Each frame contains source and destination addresses and error-checking data so that damaged data can be detected and re-transmitted. This makes the Ethernet protocol very popular for communication over longer distances or in noisy environments. The host MCU features an integrated Ethernet peripheral module, which contains the entire communication stack on-chip. The physical layer is provided by the LAN8720A, an RMII 10/100 Mbit Ethernet PHY IC from Microchip. This IC has many useful features, including flexPWR® technology with a flexible power management architecture and a support for various low-power modes, compliance with ISO 802-3/IEEE and IEEE802.3/802.3u Figure 11: RJ-45 connector and Flash memory view frame formats, loopback modes support, auto-negotiation, automatic polarity detection and correction, link status change wake-up detection, vendor specific register functions, support for the reduced pin count RMII interface, and much more. standard RJ-45 connector (3). Ethernet lines are further protected from mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 3 2 It allows mikromedia 5 to connect to an Ethernet network over the electrostatic discharge (ESD) by a pack of TVS diodes. mikromedia 5 is equipped with two LED indicators, which are located on the front side. They are used to signal status and data traffic. P A G E 19 5.1 Ethernet 5.2 RF mikromedia 5 offers communication over the world-wide ISM radio band. The ISM band covers a frequency range between 2.4GHz and 2.4835GHz. This frequency band is reserved for industrial, scientific, and medical use (hence the ISM abbreviation). In addition, it is globally available, making it a perfect alternative to WiFi, when the M2M communication over a short distance is required. mikromedia 5 uses the nRF24L01+ (1), a single-chip 2.4GHz transceiver CO N N E CT IVIT Y with an embedded baseband protocol engine, produced by Nordic Semiconductors. It is a perfect solution for ultra-low power wireless applications. This transceiver relies on the GFSK modulation, allowing data rates in the range from 250 kbps, up to 2 Mbps. The GFSK modulation is the most efficient RF signal modulation scheme, reducing the required bandwidth, thus wasting less power. The nRF24L01+ also features a proprietary Enhanced ShockBurst™, a packet-based data link layer. Besides other functionalities, it offers a 6-channel MultiCeiver™ feature, which allows using the nRF24L01+ in a star network topology. The P A G E 20 nRF24L01+ uses the SPI interface to communicate with the host MCU. Along the SPI lines, it uses additional GPIO pins for the SPI Chip Select, Chip Enable, and for the interrupt. The RF section of the mikromedia 5 also features a small chip antenna (4), reducing the need for additional hardware components. 4 1 2 3 mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 5.3 WiFi A very popular WiFi module (2) labeled as CC3100 allows WiFi connectivity. This module is the complete WiFi solution on a chip: it is a powerful WiFi network processor with the power management subsystem, offering the TCP/IP stack, powerful crypto engine with 256-bit AES support, WPA2 security, SmartConfig™ technology, and much more. By offloading the WiFi and Internet handling tasks from the MCU, it allows the host MCU to process more demanding graphical applications, thus It uses the SPI interface to communicate with the host MCU, along with several additional GPIO pins used for the reset, hibernation, and for the interrupt reporting. An SMD jumper labeled as FORCE AP (3) is used to force the CC3100 module into an Access Point (AP) mode, or into a Station mode. However, the operating mode of the CC3100 module can be overridden by the CO N N E CT IVIT Y making it an ideal solution for adding WiFi connectivity to mikromedia 5. 0: the FORCE AP pin is pulled to a LOW logic level, forcing the CC3100 module into the STATION mode 1: the FORCE AP pin is pulled to a HIGH logic level, forcing the CC3100 module into the AP mode Figure 12: RF and WiFi view There is a chip antenna (4) integrated on the PCB of the mikromedia 5, so no additional hardware is required in order to establish the connection over the WiFi network. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L P A G E 21 software.

While in HOST mode, mikromedia 5 provides power over the USB-C connector (1) for the attached DEVICE. The USB PSW pin is driven by the host MCU, allowing the software to control the USB mode. When mikromedia 5 is working in USB HOST mode, it must not be mounted to another USB HOST (such as PC). mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L NOTE 5.5 1x26 pin headers Most of the host MCU pins are routed to the two 1x26 pin headers (2), making them available for further connectivity. In addition to MCU pins, some additional peripheral pins are also routed to this header. Besides the ability to connect various external devices and peripherals by using wire jumpers, these pins also allow using shields with the additional mikroBUS™ sockets.

It is driven by a small pre-biased transistor. The buzzer can be driven by applying a PWM signal from the MCU at the base of the transistor: the pitch of the sound depends on the frequency of the PWM signal, while the volume can be controlled by changing its duty cycle. Since it is very easy to program, it can be very useful for simple alarms, notifications, and other types of simple sound signalization.

It can also be used to detect the proximity and turn on the screen or increase its brightness when the user approaches. The ALS sensor on the mikromedia 7 can be utilized in many ways. The LTR-329ALS-01 sensor uses the I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU. P A G E 26 7.2 Digital motion sensor The FXOS8700CQ, an advanced integrated 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer, can detect many different motion-related events, including the orientation event detection, freefall detection, shock detection, as well as tap, and double-tap event detection. These events can be reported to the host MCU over two dedicated interrupt pins, while the data transfer is performed over the I2C communication interface. The FXOS8700CQ sensor can be very useful for display orientation detection. It can also be used to turn mikromedia 5 into a complete 6-axis e-compass solution. The I2C slave address can be changed by using two SMD jumpers grouped under the ADDR SEL label (2). 1 3 4 mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L 7.4 RGB LED Figure 17: mikromedia 5 partial back view 2 mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L A high-brightness RGB LED (4) option can be used to provide visual feedback in a very simple way. There are three pre-biased bipolar transistors on each of the RGB LED segments (red, blue, and green), allowing them to be individualy dimmed by PWM pins of the host MCU. Thanks to its reasonably low power consumption compared to a TFT display, RGB LED can be used in many situations when only simple visual feedback is required (e.g. signaling that the application is in the Stand-By mode) P A G E 27 An infrared (IR) receiver (3) with the integrated PIN diode and a demodulation section allows simple control over an IR remote controller to be implemented. Thanks to the integrated demodulation section, the captured IR signal from the remote controller can be directly used by the host MCU. The TSOP6238 IR receiver module allows very simple implementation of the IR remote control option, for any application. OTHE R P E RIP HE RALS 7.3 IR receiver module 7.5 Temperature sensor The MCP9700A, an integrated low-power linear active thermistor allows measurement of the ambient temperature. This sensor provides an analog voltage which changes linearly with the applied temperature. This voltage can be sampled by the A/D converter on the host MCU, making it available for various user applications. The MCP9700A can measure the temperature within the range from -40°C to +125°C, but the actual measurement range is limited by the thermal endurance of the mikromedia 5 board itself. OTHE R P E RIP HE RALS Nevertheless, having a thermal sensor on board is very useful, allowing the development of thermal monitoring applications, weather stations, and similar. DEVELOPMENT 7.6 Real-time clock (RTC) OF MULTIMEDIA The host MCU contains a real-time clock peripheral module (RTC). The AND GUI-CENTRIC RTC peripheral uses a separate power supply source, typically a battery. To allow continuous tracking of time, mikromedia 5 is equipped with a button P A G E 28 RAPID cell battery that maintains RTC functionality even if the main power supply is OFF. Extremely low power consumption of the RTC peripheral allows these batteries to last very long. The mikromedia 5 development board is equipped with the button cell battery holder, compatible with the CR1216, APPLICATIONS CR1220 and CR1225 button cell battery types, allowing it to include a real time clock within the applications. mikromedia 5 for Kinetis CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L What’s next?
