3. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform
consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel
Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more.
Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards that are connected through
a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely
identify which boards are mounted on a Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant
user guides, application notes, datasheets, and example code through Atmel Studio. Available Xplained Pro
MCU and extension boards can be purchased in the Atmel Web Store1.
3.1 Embedded Debugger
The SAM D11 Xplained Pro contains the Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG) for on-board debugging. The
EDBG is a composite USB device of three interfaces; a debugger, Virtual COM Port, and Data Gateway
Interface (DGI).
In conjunction with Atmel Studio, the EDBG debugger interface can program and debug the ATSAMD11D14A.
On the SAM D11 Xplained Pro, the SWD interface is connected between the EDBG and the ATSAMD11D14A.
The Virtual COM Port is connected to a UART port on the ATSAMD11D14A (see section “Embedded
Debugger Implementation” on page 11 for pinout), and provides an easy way to communicate with the
target application through simple terminal software. It offers variable baud rate, parity, and stop bit settings.
Note that the settings on the target device UART must match the settings given in the terminal software.
The DGI consists of several physical data interfaces for communication with the host computer. See section
“Embedded Debugger Implementation” on page 11 for available interfaces and pinout. Communication
over the interfaces are bidirectional. It can be used to send events and values from the ATSAMD11D14A, or
as a generic printf-style data channel. Traffic over the interfaces can be timestamped on the EDBG for more
accurate tracing of events. Note that timestamping imposes an overhead that reduces maximal throughput. The
DGI uses a proprietary protocol, and is thus only compatible with Atmel Studio.
The EDBG controls two LEDs on SAM D11 Xplained Pro; a power LED and a status LED. Table 3-1, “EDBG
LED Control” on page 6 shows how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes.
Table 3-1. EDBG LED Control
Operation Mode Power LED Status LED

upgrade)
For further documentation on the EDBG, see the EDBG User Guide2.
3.2 Hardware Identification System
All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 CryptoAuthentication™ chip mounted.
This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an
Xplained Pro extension board is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent
to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code
examples and links to relevant documents. Table 3-2, “Xplained Pro ID Chip Content” on page 6 shows the
data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

Note
External power is required when the 500mA through the USB connector is not enough to power a
connected USB device in a USB host application.
3.3.1 Measuring SAM D11 Power Consumption
As part of an evaluation of the SAM D11 it can be of interest to measure its power consumption. Because the
device has a separate power plane (VCC_MCU_P3V3) on this board it is possible to measure the current
consumption by measuring the current that is flowing into this plane. The VCC_MCU_P3V3 plane is connected
via a jumper to the main power plane (VCC_TARGET_P3V3) and by replacing the jumper with an ammeter it is
possible to determine the current consumption. To locate the current measurement header, refer to Figure 1-1,
“SAM D11 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit Overview” on page 4.
Warning
Do not power the board without having the jumper or an ammeter mounted. This can cause the
SAM D11 to be powered through its I/O pins and cause undefined operation of the device.
3.4 Standard Headers and Connectors
3.4.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20-pin, 100mil extension headers. Xplained Pro MCU boards
have male headers while Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. Note that all pins are not

always connected. However, all the connected pins follow the defined pin-out described in Table 3-4, “Xplained
Pro Extension Header” on page 8. The extension headers can be used to connect a wide variety of
Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU boards and to access the pins of the target MCU on Xplained
Pro MCU board directly.

4. Hardware User Guide
4.1 Connectors
This chapter describes the implementation of the relevant connectors and headers on SAM D11 Xplained Pro
and their connection to the ATSAMD11D14A. The tables of connections in this chapter also describes which
signals are shared between the headers and on-board functionality.
4.1.1 I/O Extension Headers
The SAM D11 Xplained Pro header EXT1 offers access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand
the board e.g. by connecting extensions to the board. This header is based on the standard extension header
specified in Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header on page 7. The header has a pitch of 2.54mm.

4.2 Peripherals
4.2.1 Crystal
The SAM D11 Xplained Pro kit contain one crystal footprint that can be used for mounting a clock source
for the SAM D11 device. The IO pins for the crystal are shared with the extension header, so two zero ohm
resistors (R311 and R312) must be removed before mounting a crystal on the footprint.

4.2.4 Touch Buttons
There are two self capacitance buttons available on the SAM D11 Xplained Pro board that can be used as I/
O. These QTouch buttons are intended to be driven by the built-in Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) of the
device.
Zero ohm resistors are added on the board to easily disconnect either the onboard touch buttons or the
connection to the extension header, as the I/O lines are shared between the two. These resistors can be found
on the back side of the board, marked "QTBTN1" and "QTBTN2" for disconnecting the touch buttons, and
"EXT-3" and "EXT-4" for disconnecting the lines to the extension header.

4.2.5 USB
The SAM D11 Xplained Pro has a Micro-USB connector for use with the SAM D11 USB module. To be able
to detect when a target USB cable is connected in self-powered mode, a GPIO is used to detect the VBUS
voltage on the connector.
Table 4-6. USB Connections
Pin on SAM D11 USB
PA27 VBUS Detection
PA24 USB D-
PA25 USB D+
Notes:
1
PA27 is shared between SPI SS to the EDBG and VBUS detect on target USB. This is implemented so the pin can detect if
VBUS is present when configured as input with no internal pull. If VBUS is present, the level on the pin will be high. If VBUS
is not present, the line is externally pulled low. It will not be possible to detect this if the EDBG SPI DGI interface is enabled
from Atmel Data Visualizer.
4.3 Embedded Debugger Implementation
SAM D11 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be used to program and debug the
ATSAMD11D14A using Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The Embedded Debugger also include a Virtual Com port
interface over UART, an Atmel Data Gateway Interface over SPI, and TWI and it includes four of the SAM D11
GPIOs. Atmel Studio can be used as a front end for the Embedded Debugger.

PA27 is shared between SPI SS to the EDBG and VBUS detect on target USB. This is implemented so the pin can detect if
VBUS is present when configured as input with no internal pull. If VBUS is present, the level on the pin will be high. If VBUS
is not present, the line is externally pulled low. It will not be possible to detect this if the EDBG SPI DGI interface is enabled
from Atmel Data Visualizer.

5. Hardware Revision History and Known Issues
5.1 Identifying Product ID and Revision
The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways; through Atmel Studio or
by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.
By connecting a Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will
pop up. The first six digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the product identifier
and revision. Information about connected Xplained Pro extension boards will also appear in the Atmel Kits
window.
The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the
identifier and revision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with
limited space have a sticker with only a QR-code which contains a serial number string.
The serial number string has the following format:
"nnnnrrssssssssss"
n = product identifier
r = revision
s = serial number
The kit identifier for SAM D11 Xplained Pro is 2178.
5.2 Revision 3
Revision 3 of SAM D11 Xplained Pro is the initial released version, there are no known issues.
