TERMINOLOGY

This development board applies option selection jumpers. Terminology for application of the option jumpers is as follows:
Jumper on, in, or installed = jumper is a plastic shunt that fits across 2 pins and the shunt is installed so that the 2 pins are connected with the shunt.
Jumper off, out, or idle = jumper or shunt is installed so that only 1 pin holds the shunt, no 2 pins are connected, or jumper is removed. It is recommended that the jumpers be placed idle by installing on 1 pin so they will not be lost.
Cut-Trace – a circuit trace connection between component pads. The circuit trace may be cut using a knife to break the default connection. To reconnect the circuit, simply install a suitably sized 0-ohm resistor or attach a wire across the pads.
Signal names followed by an asterisk (*) denote active-low signals.

GETTING STARTED

To get started quickly, please refer to the DEMOAC Quick Start Guide. This quick start will il­lustrate connecting the board to a PC, installing the correct version of CodeWarrior Develop­ment Studio, and running a simple program.

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers, Special Edition is provided along with the DEMOAC to support application development and debug. CodeWarrior provides an IDE for application debug and an integrated FLASH programmer to load application code. Refer to the CodeWarrior Development Studio User Guide further details.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The DEMOAC board provides a development or evaluation platform for a line of AC Flexis mi­crocontrollers; including the MCF52AC256, MC9S08AC128, MC9S08AC60, and MC9S08AC16 MCU’s. Following are descriptions of the components and options provided on the board.

Integrated BDM

The DEMOAC board features an integrated USB BDM debugger. The integrated debugger supports application development and debugging via the background debug mode. A type B, USB connector provides connectivity between the target board and the host PC.
NOTE: Using the integrated USB BDM requires CodeWarrior Development Studio for Micro-
controllers Special Edition, V6.0 or later. Development tools from P&E Microcomputer Systems also support the target device.
6
DEMOAC USER GUIDE APRIL 10, 2008
The integrated debugger provides power and ground to the target, thereby eliminating the need to power the board externally. Power from the integrated USB BDM is derived from the USB bus; therefore, current consumption is limited by the USB specification. Total current consumption for the target board, and any connected circuitry, must not exceed 350 mA. Ex­cessive current drain will violate the USB specification causing the bus to disconnect. This will force a target POR.
CAUTION: Violating the USB specification will cause the USB bus to disconnect forcing the
target to reset. Damage to the board or host PC may result.
The integrated USB BDM provides a virtual COM port for serial communication applications. The BMD also provides virtual instrument analyzer function. Refer to the P&E Micro Demo Toolkit for details.

BDM Port Connector

As standard 6-pin BDM connector is also provide to allow use of external BDM cables capable of supporting the MCF51AC26 or MC9S08AC128/60/16 devices.

POWER

The DEMOAC may be powered from the integrated USB BDM, an on-board voltage regulator, or from the MCU connector at J1. Alternatively, the DEMOAC may be configured to provide power to external circuitry connected to the MCU connect J1.
The PWRSW power switch controls input voltage to the board regardless of input voltage source.

External Power

The power jack at POWER allows the board to be powered from an externally connected power source. This connection accepts a standard 2.1mm, center-positive, barrel plug con­nector. +VIN should fall between +7VDC and +18VDC. Input voltage applied to the barrel connector should be kept as lows as possible to minimize device heating.
7
DEMOAC USER GUIDE APRIL 10, 2008
Figure 2: PWR Jack
2.1mm, center-positive, +V input Applied voltage: +7V to +18V
PWR
A voltage regulator provides +5V to the target MCU and board circuitry. The regulator pro­vides a maximum of 500 mA. The regulator is over-current and over-temperature protected to prevent damage during fault conditions.

BDM Power

The integrated USB BDM is configured to provide power to the target device and connected circuitry. After the BDM enumerates on the USB bus, the BDM will provide up to 350 mA to the board. Excessive current drain will violate the USB specification and cause de-enumerate the BDM. This will disconnect power to the board and cause a target reset.
CAUTION: Violating the USB specification will cause the USB bus to disconnect forcing the
target to reset. Damage to the board or host PC may result.

Power Switch – PWRSW

The PWRSW easily connects and disconnects input voltage to the board. The silkscreen clearly marks the ON and OFF positions. This switch controls all voltage levels on the board.

Voltage Indicators

A +5V LED indicates the board is powered.

PWR_SEL Option Header

The PWR_SEL option header selects the source of input power to the EVB. The board may be powered from a voltage source connected to either the POWER connector or the integrated USB BDM. The BDM can provide up to 350 mA of current to the EVB.

VX_EN Option Header

The VX_EN option header is a 2-pin jumper that connects the target-board voltage rail to IO connector position J1-1. IO connector position J1-3 connects directly to the ground plane. This input requires a regulated +5.0V voltage source. This power input is decoupled to mini­mize noise input but is not regulated. Also, no protection is applied on this input and damage to the target board may result if over-driven. Do not attempt to power the target board through this connector while also applying power through the PWR connector as damage to the board may result.
Power may be sourced to off-board circuitry through the MCU_PORT. The current limitation of the on-board regulator must be considered when attempting to source power to external cir­cuitry. Excessive current drain may damage the target board or the on-board regulator. The figure below shows the VX_EN option header connections.

MCU Power

Each power input is routed through an option header. The option header is not installed in default configurations and a cut-trace on each power input provides default connections. To
9
DEMOAC USER GUIDE APRIL 10, 2008
apply an alternate power input, simply remove the cut-trace using a sharp knife. Then either solder a wire to the thru-hole via or install a pin header and wire-wrap a wire connection.
The various power inputs are grouped together at JP1. This allows each voltage input to be selected individually using multiple 1x2 pin headers or all voltage input may be selected using a 2x5 pin header.

MCUVDD

The VDD option header applies board VDD to the target MCU. This jumper may be used to apply alternate voltage levels or to measure input current under operating conditions.

VDDAD

The VDDA option header connects the target device VDDA input to the VDD rail by default. This jumper may be used to apply alternate voltage input or to measure input current under operating conditions.

VSSAD

The VSSA option header connects the target device VSSA input to the EVB digital ground rail by default. This option header may be used to apply ultra clean ground or to measure input current under operating conditions.

VREFH

The VREFH option header connects the target device VREFH input to the VDD rail by default. This jumper may be used to apply alternate voltage input or to measure input current under operating conditions.

VREFL

The VREFL option header connects the target device VREFL input to the ground rail by de­fault. This option header may be used to apply ultra clean ground or to measure input current under operating conditions.

DEMOAC USER GUIDE APRIL 10, 2008

RESET Switch

The RESET switch allow the manual application of the RESET* signal. Application of RESET halts the current operation and initializes internal registers to their default state. The previous operating state of the target device will be lost.
External reset may also be applied directly to the RESET * signal at connector J1A-4.

Reset LED

The RESET indicator will be ON for the duration of a valid RESET* signal. The RESET * sig­nal is driven active while the MCU is in the RESET state.

Low Voltage Detect

The different AC MCU’s apply a Low Voltage Detect (LVD) module to detect under-voltage conditions. The LVD may be configured to generate a RESET or an interrupt. Refer to the target device Reference Manual for further details.

MEMORY

No external memory is applied to the DEMOAC board. Memory for application development is internal to the target MCU. Refer to the target device Reference Manual for further details.

TIMING

The DEMOAC board provide a 4Mhz oscillator timing source for use with the target MCU. The OSC_SEL option header allows this input to be disconnected if necessary. In default configu­rations, the OSC_SEL option header is not installed and cut-traces provide the default connec­tions.
To either disconnect the oscillator input or to apply an alternate frequency, remove the cut­traces. To restore the default connection, install a 2x2 pin header and 2 shunts.
Table 1: OSC_SEL Option Header

TROUBLESHOOTING

The DEMOAC is fully tested and operational before shipping. If it fails to function properly, in­spect the board for obvious physical damage first. Verify the communications setup as de­scribed under GETTING STARTED.

Initial Flash Programming

To program target device FLASH initially, or if device FLASH is erased, apply external power at the PWR jack and set the PWR_SEL option header to VR1. When prompted by P&E soft­ware to cycle target power, move the PWRSW to the OFF position momentarily then to the ON position. Otherwise, the BDM will fail to connect to the target device.
Most common problems are related to improperly configured options or communications pa­rameters.
1. If the simulator software requires a device power cycle during FLASH programming, en-
sure the board is powered externally and the PWR_SEL option header is set to VR1.
2. Verify the +5V voltage indicator is ON.
3. Verify input power is connected. If powered from an external power source, measure at
least +7V between VR2-1 and VR2-2 using a multi-meter. If powered from the integrated BDM, measure +5V across capacitor C16
4. Ensure the PWRSW is in the ON position.
5. Verify default option jumper settings and RESET the board.
6. Ensure target module is securely, and correctly, seated on pin headers JM1 – JM4.
7. If a peripheral feature does not function properly, ensure all USER select jumpers are in-
stalled.
Contact support@axman.com by email for further assistance. Provide board name and a complete description of the problem.
