AVR600: STK600 Expansion, routing and socket

boards

1 Introduction

This application note describes the process of developing new routing, socket and expansion cards for the STK creating such cards.

The STK600 starter kit from Atmel has a sandwich design to match a specific part package and pin out to the generic pin headers. It also features an expansion area where most part pins are available.

While the variety of IC packages is relatively limited, the number of possible pin outs increases rapidly with the number of pins. i.e. a 6 pin IC can have 720 (6!) different pin outs!

The routing / socket card design provides a low cost solution to support upcoming devices as the socket is the cost driving factor.

STK600 users might also want to create their own routing cards to include specialized hardware to prototype their design.

2 Routing cards

2.1 Connector footprints

The routing cards sit between the generic socket card and the STK600. It has one pair of electric pads underneath to mate with the STK600 spring loaded connector, and one pair of pads on top where the socket card connector connects. A part specific card with the target IC soldered on can be viewed as a routing card without the top pads.

A Routing card should have pads to mate with the following spring loaded connectors:

3 Socket cards

3.1 Power design issues

3.2 Connector MPN

AVR600

Socket cards route each pin from the IC socket to separate pins on the spring loaded connectors on the bottom side, facing the routing card.

Since all routing is handled by the routing card, even power lines and power decoupling is ignored at the socket card. This produces less than ideal power design which may lead to unwanted noise, ground bounce and other effects. It should therefore be expected that heavily loaded designs can not run at full speed on STK600. Likewise, such power design is not recommended for custom design s.

AVR600

The STK600 features an id system to identify which routing, socket and expansion card is attached. The STK600 can impose voltage limitations based on the IDs, and AVR Studio will notify the user if the combination is incorrect.

The ID system consists of two common output and two board unique input signals. Each input is one of sixteen possible values based in the input signals – giving a total id space of 256.

5.1 Signal usage

Three IDs are reserved for custom use and can be implemented without use of ICs.

Table 5-1. IDs reserved for custom use

6 Design example

To support a new package type one would typically start with designing the socket card. The pinout between the socket card and routing card is not defined and left to the designer. An example is given in figure 6-1

Next is the design of the routing card (figure 6-3). The routing cards role is to connect each pin from the socket card to the corresponding pin on STK600. In addition to decoupling etc, the routing card should also fan-out the correct signals to programming headers.

Each card in the stack has its own board_id pins, the routing card is responsible for passing on the signal to the socket card.
