DESCRIPTION
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver includes
three independent 8-bit logical processors
to manage the physical MAC layer, the
network, and the user application. These
are called the Media-Access Control
(MAC) processor, the network (NET)
processor, and the application (APP)
processor, respectively (see Figure 1). At
higher system clock rates, there is also a
fourth processor to handle interrupts.

The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
supports polarity-insensitive cabling
using a star, bus, daisy-chain, loop, or
combination topology (see Figure 2).
Thus, installers don’t have to follow a
strict set of wiring rules imposed by other
networking technologies. Instead, they
can install wiring in the fastest and most
cost-effective manner, thereby saving
time and money. Free topology wiring
also simplifies network expansion by
eliminating restrictions on wire routing,
splicing, and device placement.

The FT-X3 Communications Transformer is
a surface mount communications transformer that’s compatible with both the FT
5000 Smart Transceiver and the previous-
generation FT 3120/FT 3150 Smart
Transceivers. The FT-X3 Communications
Transformer provides equivalent noise
immunity to both the FT-X1 and FT-X2
Communication Transformers, the
previous-generation communication transformers. However, the FT-X3 Communications Transformer is not pin-compatible
with the FT-X2 Communication Transformer (which is also a surface mount transformer). The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
can also be used with the FT-X1 and FT-X2
Communication Transformers.
Backward Compatibility
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver is fully
compliant with the TP/FT-10 channel
and can communicate with devices
that use Echelon’s FTT-10/FTT-10A
Transceivers, FT 3120/FT 3150 Smart
Transceivers, or LPT-10/LPT-11 Link
Power Transceivers.
The Neuron Core in the FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver uses the same instruction
set and architecture as the previousgeneration Neuron Core, with two new
additional instructions for hardware
multiplication and division. The Series
5000 Neuron Core is source code
compatible with applications written
for the Series 3100 Neuron Core.
Applications written for the Series
3100 Neuron Core must be recompiled
with the NodeBuilder® FX Development
Tool or the Mini FX Evaluation Kit before
they can be used with the FT 5000
Smart Transceiver.
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver uses
Neuron firmware version 19. Firmware
versions prior to version 19 are not
compatible with the FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver. The Neuron firmware is
pre-programmed into the on-chip ROM.
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver can also
be configured to read newer firmware
from external memories, allowing the
firmware to be upgraded over time.
Enhanced Performance
Faster system clock. The internal system
clock for the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
can be user-configured to run from 5MHz
to 80MHz. The required external crystal
provides a 10MHz clock frequency, and
an internal PLL boosts the frequency to
a maximum of 80MHz as the internal
system clock speed. The previousgeneration Neuron 3120/3150 Core
divided the external oscillator frequency
by two to create the internal system
clock. An FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
running with an 80MHz internal system
clock is thus 16 times faster than a
10MHz Neuron 3120/3150 Core running.
The 5MHz internal system clock mode in
the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver provides
backward compatibility to support
timing-critical applications designed
for the 10MHz FT 3150 or FT 3120
Smart Transceiver.
The Neuron Core inside the FT 5000
Smart Transceiver includes a builtin hardware multiplier and divider to
increase the performance of arithmetic
operations.
Support for more network variables.
Because it uses Neuron firmware version
19, the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
supports applications with up to 254
network variables and 127 aliases for
Neuron hosted devices (devices without
a host microprocessor). A Series 3100
Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver with
Neuron firmware version 15 or earlier
supports up to 62 network variables and
62 aliases for Neuron hosted devices.
Series 3100 chips with Neuron firmware
version 16 or later support up to 254
network variables. You must use the
NodeBuilder FX Development Tool to take
advantage of 254 network variables.
Interrupts. The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
lets developers define application
interrupts to handle asynchronous events
triggered by selected state changes on any
of the 12 I/O pins, by on-chip hardware
timer-counter units, or by an on-chip highperformance hardware system timer. An
application uses the Neuron C interrupt()
clause to define the interrupt condition
and the interrupt task that handles the
condition. The Neuron C program runs
the interrupt task whenever the interrupt
condition is met. See the Neuron C
Programmer’s Guide for more information
about writing interrupt tasks and handling
interrupts.
JTAG. The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
provides an interface for the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Standard Test Access Port and BoundaryScan Architecture (IEEE 1149.1-1990)
of the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) to
allow a Series 5000 chip to be included
in the boundary-scan chain for device
production tests. A Boundary Scan
Description Language (BSDL) file for
the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver can be
downloaded from Echelon’s Web site.

I/O Pins and Counters
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver provides
12 bidirectional I/O pins that are
5V-tolerant and can be configured to
operate in one or more of 35 predefined
standard input/output models. The chip
also has two 16-bit timer/counters that
reduce the need for external logic and
software development.
Memory Architecture
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver uses
inexpensive external serial EEPROM and
flash memories for non-volatile application
and data storage, and optionally for future
Neuron firmware upgrades. It has 16KB
of ROM and 64KB (44KB user-accessible)
of RAM on the chip. It has no on-chip
non-volatile memory (EEPROM or flash)
for application use. Each chip, however,
contains its unique Neuron identifier
(Neuron ID) in an on-chip, non-volatile,
read-only memory.
The application code and configuration
data are stored in the external non-volatile
memory (NVM) and copied into the internal
RAM during device reset; the instructions
then execute from internal RAM. Writes
to NVM are shadowed in the internal
RAM and pushed out to external NVM by
the Neuron firmware (see Figure 2). The
application does not manage NVM directly.
External memories supported. The FT
5000 Smart Transceiver supports two
serial interfaces for accessing off-chip,
non-volatile memories: serial InterIntegrated Circuit (I2C) and serial peripheral
interface (SPI). EEPROM and flash memory
devices can use either the I2C interface or
the SPI interface. However, at the time of
publication, there are no serial flash parts
that use the I2C protocol and meet the
required specifications for the Series 5000
external memory interface.
External serial EEPROMs and flash
devices, which are inexpensive and come
in very small form factors, are available
from multiple vendors.
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver requires
at least 2KB of off-chip memory available
in an EEPROM device to store the
configuration data. The application code
can be stored either in the EEPROM (by
using a larger-capacity EEPROM device) or
in a flash memory device used in addition
to the 2KB (minimum) EEPROM. Thus, the
external memory for the FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver has one of the configurations
listed in Table 1:

Table 1: Allowed External Memory Device
Configurations
As Table 1 shows, the FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver supports using a single
EEPROM memory device, or a single
EEPROM memory device plus a single
flash memory device.
If the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver detects
an external flash memory device, the
flash memory represents the entire
user non-volatile memory for the device.
That is, any additional EEPROM memory
beyond the mandatory 2KB is not used.
Using the I2C interface. When using the
I2C interface for external EEPROM, the
FT 5000 Smart Transceiver is always
the master I2C device (see Figure 3).
The clock speed supported for the I2C
serial memory interface is 400kHz (fast
I2C mode). The I2C memory device must
specify I2C address 0. Both 1-byte and
2-byte address modes are supported,
but 3-byte addressing mode is not.

Using the SPI interface. The FT 5000
Smart Transceiver is always the master
SPI device; any external NVM devices
are always slave devices. The FT 5000
Smart Transceiver can support up to
two SPI slave devices from the serial
memory interface: one EEPROM device at
CS0~ and one flash device at CS1~ (see
Figure 4). The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
supports 2-byte addressing mode for SPI
EEPROM devices, but does not support
3-byte addressing. The FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver runs the SPI protocol from
the serial memory interface at 2.5 MHz
and supports SPI Mode 0. In Mode 0, the
base value of the clock is zero; the data
is read on the clock’s rising edge and
changed on the clock’s falling edge. Most
external NVMs support SPI Mode 0 and 3.

Using both I2C and SPI interfaces. Figure
5 shows an FT 5000 Smart Transceiver
that includes both an I2C memory device
(a 2KB EEPROM device) and a SPI memory
device (a flash memory device). Although
both EEPROM and flash memory share
the SDA_CS1~ pin, there is no conflict
because only one of them can be active
at a time. SDA is an active high signal and
CS1~ is an active low signal. While small
applications could use EEPROM both
for application code and configuration
data, larger applications might find it
economical to use a small EEPROM for
configuration data and a flash device for
application code. The choice between
EEPROM and flash can be affected by
multiple factors, including:
• Use of a single external memory
versus two memories.
• Cost comparison between a large
EEPROM device and a combination of a
small EEPROM and large flash devices.
• Use of non-volatile variables by the
application, which can require a large
number of writes to the device.

Memory devices supported. The FT
5000 Smart Transceiver supports any
EEPROM device that uses the SPI or I2C
protocol, and meets the clock speed and
addressing requirements described above.
While all EEPROM devices have a uniform
write procedure, flash devices from various
manufacturers differ slightly in their write
procedure. Thus, a small library routine is
stored in the external EEPROM device that
helps the system write successfully to the
external flash device. Echelon has qualified
the following SPI flash memory devices for
use with the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver:
• Atmel® AT25F512B 512-Kilobit 2.7-volt
Minimum SPI Serial Flash Memory.
• Numonyx™ M25P05-A 512-Kbit, serial
flash memory, 50MHz SPI bus interface.
• Silicon Storage Technology
SST25VF512A 512 Kbit SPI Serial Flash.
Additional devices may be qualified in
the future.
Memory map. An FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver has a memory map of 64KB.
A Neuron C application program uses
this memory map to organize its memory
and data access. The memory map is
a logical view of device memory, rather
than a physical view, because the chip’s
processors only directly access RAM. The
memory map divides the FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver’s physical 64KB RAM into the
following types of logical memory, as shown
in Figure 6:
• Neuron firmware image (stored in
on-chip ROM or external NVM).
• On-chip RAM or NVM. Memory ranges for
each are configurable within the device
hardware template. The non-volatile
memory represents the area shadowed
from external NVM into the RAM.
• On-chip RAM for stack segments and
RAMNEAR data.

Programming memory devices. Because
the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver does not
have any on-chip user-accessible NVM,
only the external serial EEPROM or flash
devices need to be programmed with the
application and configuration data. The
memory devices can be programmed in
any of the following ways:
• In-circuit programming on the board.
• Over the network.
• Pre-programming before soldering
on the board.
Noise Immunity
A LonWorks device based on the FT
5000 Smart Transceiver is composed
of two components: the FT 5000
Smart Transceiver and an external
communications transformer (the FT-X3).
The transformer enables operation in the
presence of high frequency common-mode
noise on unshielded twisted-pair networks.
Properly designed devices can meet
the rigorous Level 3 requirements of EN
61000-4-6 without the need for a network
End-to-End Solutions
A typical FT 5000 Smart Transceiverbased device requires a power source,
crystal, external memory, and an I/O
interface to the device being controlled
(see Figure 7 for a typical FT 5000 Smart
Transceiver-based device).

Migration Considerations
Most device designs that use the
previous-generation FT 3120/3150
Smart Transceiver can transition to the
FT 5000 Smart Transceiver. However,
because the two generations have
different supply voltage and memory
architecture, hardware redesign of the
boards is required to transition to the
FT 5000 Smart Transceiver.

Notes
1. All parameters assume nominal supply
voltage (VDD3 = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V) and operating
temperature (TA between -40ºC and +85ºC),
unless otherwise noted.
2. See Clock Requirements in the Series 5000 Chip
Data Book for more detailed information about
the XIN clock frequency.
3. Assumes no load on digital I/O pins, and that
the I/O lines are not switching.
4. Current consumption in Transmit mode
represents a peak value rather than a
continuous usage value because a Series
5000 device does not typically transmit
data continuously.
