This section covers the specifications of the SAMA5D2-PTC-EK and provides a high-level description of
the board's major components and interfaces. This document is not intended to provide a detailed
documentation about the processor or about any other component used on the board. It is expected that
the user will refer to the appropriate documents of these devices to access detailed information.
3.1 Board Overview
The fully-featured SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board integrates multiple peripherals and interface connectors, as
shown in the figure below
.
SAMA5D2-PTC-EK
Board Components
3.1.1 Default Jumper Settings
The figure below shows the default jumper settings. Jumpers in red are configuration items and current
measurement points. Jumpers in blue are not populated.
The SAMA5D2 Series is a high-performance, power-efficient embedded MPU based on the ARM
Cortex®-A5 processor.
Please refer to the SAMA5D2 Series datasheet for more information.
3.2.2 Power Supply T
3.2.2.1 Input Power Options
Two options are available to power the SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board. The USB-powered operation is the
default configuration and comes from the USB device ports (J4-J9) connected to a PC or a 5VDC supply.
Such USB power source is sufficient to supply the board in most applications. It is important to note that
when the USB-powered operation is used, the USB port down the way has a limited powering capability.
If the USB-B Host port (J3) is required to provide full powering capabilities to the target application, it is
recommended to use an external DC supply instead of a USB power source.
The following figure is a schematic of the power options.
Note: USB-powered operation eliminates additional wires and batteries. It is the preferred mode of
operation for any project that requires only a 5V source at up to 500 mA.
Jumper JP1 is used to perform MAIN_5V current measurements on the SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board.
3.2.2.2 Power Supply Requirements and Restrictions
Detailed information on the device power supplies is provided in tables “SAMA5D2 Power Supplies” and
“Power Supply Connections” in the SAMA5D2 Series datasheet.
3.2.2.3 Power-up and Power-down Considerations
Power-up and power-down considerations are described in section “Power Considerations” of the
SAMA5D2 Series datasheet.
Caution: The power-up and power-down sequences provided in the SAMA5D2 Series
datasheet must be respected for reliable operation of the device.
3.2.2.4 Power Management
The board power management uses three types of regulators:
•One dual synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator (U2 MIC2230) generates the 3.3V/800mA and
1.8V/800mA power lines and utilizes a high-ef
PWM control architecture that requires a minimum number of external components.
•One ultra low-dropout linear regulator (U3 MIC47053) generates the 1.25V/500mA from the 1.8V
source.
•One high-performance single 2.5V/150mA is used as a VDDFUSE generator (U5 MIC5366).
The main regulators are enabled through a Field Effect Transistor (FET) scheme. The processor can
assert SHDN (a VDDBU-powered I/O) to shut down the regulators to enter Backup mode. All regulators
on the board are also shut down by the action of the SHDN signal.
A 3.3V battery (supercap) is implemented to permanently maintain VDDBU voltage (note: jumper JP6
must be in place). The board can be woken up by action on the PB4 button, which drives the WKUP
signal (also a VDDBU-powered I/O).
The figure below shows the power management scheme.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board requires a power source in order to permanently power the backup part of
the SAMA5D2 device (refer to SAMA5D2 Series datasheet). The super capacitor C17 sustains such
permanent power to VDDBU when all system power sources are off.

The Shutdown Controller manages the main power supply and is connected to the ENABLE input pin of
the DC/DC converter providing the main power supplies of the system.
•One board reset push button (BP3). When pressed and released, it causes a power-on reset of the
board.
•
One wakeup push button (BP4) connected to the SAMA5D2 WKUP pin, used to exit the processor
from low-power mode.
•One disable boot push button (BP2) used to devalidate the boot memories (refer to CS Disable).

3.2.6 Clock Circuitry
The embedded microcontroller generates its necessary clocks based on two crystal oscillators: one slow
clock (SLCK) oscillator running at 32.768 KHz and one main clock oscillator running at 24 MHz.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board includes four clock sources:
•The two clocks mentioned above are alternatives for the SAMA5D2 processor (24 MHz, 32.768
kHz)
•
One crystal oscillator for the Ethernet RMII chip (25 MHz)
•One crystal oscillator for the JLink-OB microcontroller (12 MHz)
The SAMA5D2 features a DDR/SDR memory interface and an External Bus Interface (EBI) to enable
interfacing to a wide range of external memories and to almost any kind of parallel peripheral.
This section describes the memory devices mounted on the SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board:
wo DDR2 SDRAMs
•T
•One NAND Flash
•One QSPI Flash
•One SPI Flash (optional)
•One serial EEPROM
SAMA5D2-PTC-EK
Board Components
Additional memory can be added to the board by:
•Installing an SD or MMC card in the SD/MMC0 or SD/MMC1 slot,
•Using the USB-B port.
Support is dependent upon driver support in the OS.
3.2.7.2 DDR2/SDRAMs
Two DDR2/SDRAMs (W972GG6KB-25-2 Gbits = 16 Mbits x 16 x 8 banks) are used as main system
memory, totalling 4 Gbits of SDRAM on the board. The memory bus is 32 bits wide and operates with a
frequency of up to 166 MHz.
The figure below illustrates the implementation for the DDR2 memories.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK has native support for NAND Flash memory through its NAND Flash Controller.
The board implements one MT29F4G08ABA 4Gb x 16 NAND Flash connected to chip select three
(NCS3) of the microcontroller.
The figure below illustrates the NAND Flash memory implementation.
Caution: The NAND Flash interface is shared with the SDMMC1 and QSPI interfaces.

3.2.8 Additional Memories
3.2.8.1 Serial Flash
The SAMA5D2 includes two high-speed Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) controllers. The SPI is a full
duplex synchronous bus supporting a single master and multiple slave devices. The SPI bus consists of
the following items:
•
a serial clock line (generated by the master)
•
a data output line from the master
•a data input line to the master
•one or more active low chip select signals (output from the master)
One SPI port is used to interface with the on-board serial Flash.
The following figure illustrates the implementation of an SPI Flash memory.
The SAMA5D2 provides two Quad Serial Peripheral Interfaces (QSPI).
A QSPI is a synchronous serial data link that provides communication with external devices in Master
mode.
The QSPI can be used in SPI mode to interface with serial peripherals (such as ADCs, DACs, LCD
controllers, CAN controllers and sensors), or in Serial Memory mode to interface with serial Flash
memories.
The QSPI allows the system to execute code directly from a serial Flash memory (XIP, or Execute In
place, technology) without code shadowing to RAM. The serial Flash memory mapping is seen in the
system as other memories (ROM, SRAM, DRAM, etc.).
With the support of the Quad SPI protocol, the QSPI allows the system to use high-performance serial
Flash memories which are small and inexpensive, instead of larger and more expensive parallel Flash
memories.
The figure below illustrates the implementation of a QSPI Flash memory.
Figure 3-18. QSPI Serial Flash

3.2.8.4
The rule of operation is:
•PB2 (DISABLE_BOOT) and PB3 (RESET) pressed = booting from QSPI or optional serial Flash is
disabled.
Refer to the SAMA5D2 Series datasheet for more information on standard boot strategies and
sequencing.
Serial EEPROM with Unique MAC Address
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board embeds one Microchip 24AA02E48 I²C serial EEPROM connected on the
TWI1 interface.
The TWI interface is I2C-compatible and similarly uses only two lines, namely serial data (SDA) and serial
clock (SCL). According to the standard, the TWI clock rate is limited to 400 kHz in Fast mode and 100
kHz in Normal mode, but configurable baud rate generator permits the output data rate to be adapted to a
wide range of core clock frequencies. The TWI is used in Master mode.
The 24AA02E48 features 2048 bits of Serial Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
(EEPROM) organized as 256 words of eight bits each and is accessed via an I2C-compatible (2-wire)
serial interface. In addition, the 24AA02E48 incorporates an easy and inexpensive method to obtain a
globally unique MAC or EUI address (EUI-48).
The EUI-48 addresses can be assigned as the actual physical address of a system hardware device or
node, or it can be assigned to a software instance. These addresses are factory-programmed by
Microchip and guaranteed unique. They are permanently write-protected in an extended memory block
located outside the standard 2-Kbit memory array.
Caution: The EEPROM device is used as a “software label” to store board information such as
chip type, manufacturer name and production date, using the last two 16-byte blocks in
memory. The information contained in these blocks should not be modified.
The figure below illustrates the implementation for the EEPROM.

power lines). A card detection switch is included. The microSD connector can be used to connect any
microSD card for mass storage.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board is equipped with Ethernet and USB host/device communication interfaces.
This section describes the signals and connectors related to the ETH and USB communication interfaces.
3.2.10.1 Ethernet 10/100 (GMAC) Port
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board features a Micrel PHY device (KSZ8081) operating at 10/100 Mb/s. The
board supports RMII interface modes. The Ethernet interface consists of two pairs of low-voltage
differential pair signals designated from GRX± and GTX± plus control signals for link activity indicators.
These signals can be used to connect to a 10/100 Base-T RJ45 connector integrated on the SAMA5D2PTC-EK board.
An individual 48-bit MAC address (Ethernet hardware address) is allocated to each product. This number
is stored in the Microchip 24AA02E48 I2C serial EEPROM (refer to Serial EEPROM with Unique MAC
Address).
SAMA5D2-PTC-EK
Board Components
Additionally
, for monitoring and control purposes, a LED functionality is carried on the RJ45 connectors to
indicate activity, link, and speed status.
For more information about the Ethernet controller device, refer to the Micrel KSZ8081RN controller
manufacturer's datasheet.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a hot-pluggable general-purpose high-speed I/O standard for computer
peripherals. The standard defines connector types, cabling, and communication protocols for
interconnecting a wide variety of electronic devices. The USB 2.0 Specification defines data transfer rates
as high as 480 Mbps (also known as High Speed USB). A USB host bus connector uses 4 pins: a power
supply pin (5V), a differential pair (D+ and D- pins) and a ground pin.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board features three USB communication ports named USB-A to USB-C:
•
USB-A device interface
–One USB device standard micro-AB connector.
–This port has a VBUS detection function made through the R148-R149 resistor bridge.
–The USB-A port is used as a primary power source and as a communication link for the
board, and derives power from the PC over the USB cable. In most cases, this port is limited
to 500 mA.
•USB-B (host port B high- and full-speed interface)
–One USB host type A connector.
–The USB-B host port is equipped with a 500 mA high-side power switch to enable powering
devices connected to it.
•UBC-C (High-Speed Inter-Chip/HSIC port)
–One USB high-speed host port with an HSIC interface.
The USB-B Host port is equipped with a 500 mA high-side power switch for self-powered and buspowered applications. If the client device is bus-powered, the carrier can supply a 5V, 500mA power to
the client device. The USBB_EN_5V_PB12 signal controls the power switch and current limiter, the Micrel
MIC2025, which in turn supplies power to a bus-powered client device. Per the USB specification, buspowered USB 2.0 devices are limited to a maximum of 500 mA. The MIC2025 limits the current and
indicates an overcurrent with the USBB_OVCUR_PB13 signal.

3.3.1 LCD TFT Interface
This section describes the signals and connectors related to the LCD interface.
3.3.1.1 LCD Interface
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board provides a connector with 18 bits of data and control signals to the LCD
interface. Other signals are used to control the LCD and are available on connector J16: TWI, SPI, two
GPIOs for interrupt, 1-wire and power supply lines.
This connector is used to connect LCD display series 43xx or 70xx from PDA.
3.3.1.2 LCD Expansion Header
J16 is a 1.27-mm pitch, 50-pin header. It gives access to the LCD signals.
In order to operate correctly with various LCD modules, two voltage lines are available: 3.3V and 5VCC
(default). The selection is made with 0R resistors R230 and R231.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board features one RGB LED which can be controlled by the user. The three

3.4.2 Embedded Debugger (JLINK-OB) Interface
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK includes a built-in SEGGER J-Link-On-Board device. The functionality is
implemented with an ATSAM3U4C microcontroller in an LFBGA100 package. The A
the functions of JTAG and a bridge USB/Serial debug port (CDC). One two-colored LED (D6) mounted
near the SAM3 chip (U20) shows the status of the J-Link-On-Board device.
J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C was designed in order to provide an efficient, low-cost, on-board alternative to
the standard J-Link.
The USB JLINK-OB port is used as a secondary power source and as a communication link for the
board, and derives power from the PC over the USB cable. This port is limited in most cases to 500 mA.
A single PC USB port is sufficient to power the board.
Jumper JP10 disables the J-Link-OB-ATSAM3U4C JTAG functionality. When the jumper is installed, it
grounds pin 26 of the ATSAM3U4C that is normally pulled high. A quad analog switch is used to select
AG interface.

3.4.3 Hardware UART via CDC
In addition to the J-Link-OB functionality, the ATSAM3U4C microcontroller provides a bridge to a debug
serial port (UART DBGU) of the SOM's processor
connection used by JTAG by implementing Communication Device Class (CDC), which allows terminal
communication with the target device.

. The port is made accessible over the same USB
This feature is enabled only if the SAM3U/PA25 (pin K10) is not grounded. The pin is normally pulled high
and controlled by jumper JP9.
•Jumper JP9 not installed: the J-Link-CDC is enabled and fully functional.
•Jumper JP9 installed: the J-Link-CDC device is disabled.
The USB Communications Device Class (CDC) enables to convert the USB device into a serial
communication device. The target device running USB-Device CDC is recognized by the host as a serial
interface (USB2COM, virtual COM port) without the need to install a special host driver (since the CDC is
standard). All PC software using a COM port work without modifications with this virtual COM port. Under
Windows, the device shows up as a COM port; under Linux, as a /dev/ACMx device. This enables the
user to use host software which was not designed to be used with USB, such as a terminal program.

3.5.2 mikroBUS Interface
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK hosts a pair of 8-pin female headers as mikroBus interface. The mikroBUS
interface defines the main board sockets and add-on boards used for interfacing microprocessors with
integrated modules with proprietary pin configuration and silkscreen markings. The pinout consists of
three groups of communication pins (SPI, UART and TWI), four additional pins (PWM, interrupt, analog
input and reset) and two power groups (+3.3V and GND on the left, and 5V and GND on the right 1x8
header).

Figure 3-46. mikroBUS Connector J15 Location
The table below describes the pin assignment of mikroBUS1 connector J15.
The SAMA5D2-PTC-EK board hosts two connectors to interface XPRO QT boards. The QTouch Xplained
Pro are extension boards that enable evaluation of Self-capacitance and Mutual capacitance modes
using the Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC). The boards show how easy it is to design a capacitive touch
board solution using the PTC without the need for any external components.
Nevertheless, the PTC IO pins available on XPRO connectors can be used as GPIO pins. Each of these
can be configured as an input or output pin according to the PIO peripheral functions.
The GPIO voltage levels depend on the VDDIOP level supported by the SAMA5D2, 3.3V in this case.
PIOs PB00 to PB07 are available on connector J13 and can be used as GPIO pins. Each of these can be
configured as an input or output pin according to the PIO peripheral functions.

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the
•
market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of
these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the
operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is
engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their
code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the
code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a
violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software
or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
