5.2. Target Board Power Options and Current Measurement
The C8051F500 target board supports three power options:
1. 12 V dc power using the ac to dc power adapter (P4)
2. 5 V dc USB VBUS power from PC via the USB Debug Adapter (DEBUG_A)
3. 12 V dc power from the LIN external header (TB1)
The two 12V power sources are ORed together using reverse-biased diodes (Z1 and Z2). The ORed power is
regulated to a 5.0V DC voltage using a LDO regulator (U6). To power the board from the USB Debug Adapter
connected to DEBUG_A instead of the 12V sources, move the shorting block on the J7 header to pins 2 and 3 to
select SER_PWR. The output of the regulator powers the +5VD net on the target board, and is also connected to
one end of the header J24 (SIDE A) and J31 (SIDE B). Two shorting blocks can be put on each header to connect
the 5V net to the VREGIN and VIO pins on the two MCUs. With the shorting block removed, a source meter can be
used across the headers to measure the current consumption of the MCU.
Note: The USB Debug Adapter does not provide the necessary peak power for the CAN transceivers to operate. One of the
12V DC sources is recommended for CAN transceiver operation.
5.3. System Clock Sources
5.3.1. Internal Oscillators
The C8051F500 and C8051F502 devices installed on the target board feature a factory calibrated programmable
high-frequency internal oscillator (24 MHz base frequency, ±0.5%), which is enabled as the system clock source on
reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of 187.5 kHz by default but may be configured by
software to operate at other frequencies. The on-chip crystal is accurate for CAN and LIN master communications
and in many applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F500
device (SIDE A) at a frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to
the C8051F50x data sheet for more information on configuring the system clock source.
5.3.2. External Oscillator Options
The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal. Remove shorting blocks at headers
J9 and J10 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 M resistor at R9 and install capacitors at C6
and C7 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. If you wish to operate the external oscillator in capacitor
or RC mode, options to install a capacitor or an RC network are also available on the target board. Populate C6 for
capacitor mode, and populate R3 and C6 for RC mode. Refer to the C8051F50x data sheet for more information on
the use of external oscillators.

C8051F50x/51x
5.4. Switches and LEDs
Two push-button switches are provided on the target board for each MCU. Switch RESET_A is connected to the
/RST pin of the C8051F500. Switch RESET_B is connected to the /RST pin of the C8051F502. Pressing
RESET_A puts the C8051F500 device into its hardware-reset state, and similarly for RESET_B and the
C8051F502 MCU. Switches P1.4_A and P1.4_B are connected to the MCU’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins
through headers. Pressing either one of these switches generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the
shorting block from the header to disconnect these switches from the port pins. See Table 2 for the port pins and
headers corresponding to each switch.
Four LEDs are provided on the target board to serve as indicators. The red LED labeled PWR indicates presence
of power to the target board. The second red LED labeled COMM indicates if the CP2102 USB-to-UART bridge
(P5) is recognized by the PC. The green LED labeled with port pin name P1.3_A is connected to the C8051F500’s
(Side A) GPIO pin P1.3 through the header J19. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the LED
from the port pin. Similarly, the green LED named P1.3_B is connected to the C8051F502 (Side B) through the J11
header. See Table 2 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each LED.

5.6. Serial Interface (P5)
A USB-to-UART bridge circuit (U5) and USB connector (P5) are provided on the target board to facilitate serial
connections to UART0 of the C8051F500 (Side A). The Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-to-UART bridge provides data
connectivity between the C8051F500 and the PC via a USB port. The TX and RX signals of UART0 may be
connected to the CP2102 by installing shorting blocks on header J17. The shorting block positions for connecting
each of these signals to the CP2102 are listed in Table 4. To use this interface, the USB-to-UART device drivers
should be installed as described in Section 4.3. "CP210x USB to UART VCP Driver Installation‚" on page 4.

5.8. LIN Interface and Network (TB1)
Both MCUs on the target board are connected to LIN transceivers through headers. These headers assume that
the MCU’s crossbars are configured to put the LIN TX and RX pins on port pins P1.0 and P1.1 respectively. See
the C8051F50x data sheet for crossbar configuration. The C8051F500 (Side A) is connected to the T1 transceiver
through the J17 header and the C8051F502 (Side B) is connected to the T2 transceiver through the J26 header.
The two LIN transceivers are connected to each other and form a LIN network. Other external devices can be
connected to the LIN network through the TB1 interface. The TB1 interface also provides the option for connecting
an external power source so that all LIN transceivers can use the same source voltage. This source voltage can
also be used to power the target board. If an external voltage source is not provided, the LIN transceivers use the
12 V provided through the P4 wall-wart connector. See “5.2. Target Board Power Options and Current
Measurement” for more power option details. The shorting block positions for connecting the MCUs to the LIN
transceivers are listed in Table 7. The pin connections for the external LIN devices are listed in Table 8.

5.12. Potentiometer (J20)
The C8051F500 (Side A) device has the option to connect port pin P1.2 to 10K linear potentiometer. The
potentimeter is connected through the J20 header. The potentiometer can be used for testing the analog-to-digital
(ADC) converter of the MCU.
5.13. Power Supply I/O (Side A) (TB3)
All of the C8051F500 target device’s supply pins are connected to the TB3 terminal block. Refer to Table 11 for the
TB3 terminal block connections.

5.14. C2 Pin Sharing
On the C8051F500 (Side A), the debug pin C2CK is shared with the /RST pin. On the C8051F502 (Side B), the
debug pins C2CK and C2D are shared with the pins /RST and P3.0 respectively. The target board includes the
resistors necessary to enable pin sharing which allow the pin–shared pins (/RST and P3.) to be used normally
while simultaneously debugging the device. See Application Note “AN124: Pin Sharing Techniques for the C2
Interface” at www.silabs.com for more information regarding pin sharing.

5.15. Target Board Pin Assignment Summary
Some GPIO pins of the C8051F500 MCU can have an alternate fixed function. For example, pin 46 on the
C8051F500 MCU is designated P0.4, and can be used as a GPIO pin. Also, if the UART0 peripheral on the MCU is
enabled using the crossbar registers, the TX signal is routed to this pin. This is shown in the “Alternate Fixed
Function” column. The “Target Board Function” column shows that this pin is used as TX on the ‘F500 Target
Board. The “Relevant Headers” column shows that this signal is routed to pin 3 of the J17 header and pin 5 of the
J1 header. More details can be found in the C8051F50x data sheet. Some of the GPIO pins of the C8051F500
have been used for various functions on the target board. All pins of the Side A MCU also connect to the 96-pin
(P1) expansion connector which is not explicitly listed below. Table 12 summarizes the C8051F500 MCU pin
assignments on the target board, and also shows the various headers associated with each signal.
