2. General information

The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit is intended to demonstrate the Atmel AT32UC3A3256 microcontroller. Figure 2-1 shows

the available feature on the board.

Figure 2-1. Overview of the UC3-A3 Xplained kit.

Atmel AVR32918: UC3-A3 Xplained Hardware User’s Guide [APPLICATION NOTE]

32159C−AVR−07/2012

Figure 2-2. Functional overview of the Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit.

2.1 Preprogrammed firmware

The Atmel AT32UC3A3256 on the Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit is preprogrammed with a USB bootloader and a default

firmware. The preprogrammed firmware in the AT32UC3A3256 is a simple demonstration of the QTouch button and

QTouch slider.

2.2 Power supply

The kit needs an external power supply that can deliver 5V and up to 500mA. The actual current requirement for the

board is much less than 500mA but in order to be able to power possible expansion boards this margin is needed.

The power can be applied to the board either via the USB connector or on pin 10 on the header J3. The USB connector

is the preferred input because then it is possible to connect expansion boards on top of the J3 header.

The 5V is regulated down to 3.3V with an on board LDO regulator, which provides power to the entire board. Expansion

top boards that require 5V will get this from the header J3 pin 10.

2.3 Measuring the AT32UC3A3256 power consumption

As part of an evaluation of the AT32UC3A3256, it can be of interest to measure its power consumption. The two-pin

header with a jumper mounted on it is the only connection between the common power plane VCC_P3V3 and the

VCC_MCU_P3V3 power plane. By replacing the jumper with an amperemeter it is possible to determine the current

consumption of the Atmel AT32UC3A3256. To locate the power measurement header, please refer to Figure 2-1.

Warning: Do not power the board without having the jumper or an amperemeter mounted. Otherwise, the device may be

damaged.

Atmel AVR32918: UC3-A3 Xplained Hardware User’s Guide [APPLICATION NOTE]

32159C−AVR−07/2012

2.4 Programming the kit

The kit can be programmed either from an external programming tool or through a USB bootloader which is pre-

programmed on the device.

The bootloader is evoked by pushing the push button (SW0) during power-on. I.e. push button and then connect an

USB cable to the kit. Programming can be performed through the DFU target (bootloader programmer target) with FLIP.

How a programmer can be connected to the kit is described in Section 3.1.

3. Connectors

The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit has five 10-pin, 100mil headers. Two headers have a fixed communication interface (J1

and J4). One header has analog functionality (J2), and the last header (J3) has general purpose digital I/O.

The 90° angled header is the JTAG programming and debugging header for the AT32UC3A3256.

For the location of the respective headers, refer to Figure 2-1.

3.1 Programming header

The AT32UC3A3256 can be programmed and debugged by connecting an external programming/debugging tool to the

JTAG header. The header has a standard JTAG programmer pinout (refer to online help in Atmel Studio), and tools

such as JTAGICE3 or AVR ONE! can thus be connected directly to the header.

Note: The grey female 10-pin header on JTAGICE mkII has to be used when connecting to the kit. A scoring in the board

is made to fit the orientation tab on the header.

Note: A standoff adapter (no. 1) is needed when using AVR ONE!.

Note: Pin 1 on the JTAG header is at the top right corner and is marked with a square pad.

3.2 I/O expansion headers

There are four available I/O expansion headers on the kit. Some pins have shared functionality with onboard

functionality. If “clean” expansion ports are needed, there are available cut-straps on some of the ADC inputs to remove

onboard functionality. Table 3-2 to Table 3-5 show what is shared on the header pins.

4. Memories

The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained has an external SDRAM memory mounted on the board. There are also footprints

available for adding either an industrial standard or a proprietary Atmel DataFlash serial flash.

Note: The footprints share the same SPI lines including the chip select, and so it is not possible to mount a device on both

footprints at the same time.

5. Miscellaneous I/O

5.1 Mechanical button

The board is equipped with one mechanical button. Because the button is used to enter bootloader mode it has a pull-

up mounted, this means it is not necessary to use the pull-up in the UC3 to detect the status of the button.

5.2 LEDs

The Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained has four yellow LEDs which are connected to the Atmel AT32UC3A3256 and all of them

are active low.

Atmel AVR32918: UC3-A3 Xplained Hardware User’s Guide [APPLICATION NOTE]

32159C−AVR−07/2012

One dual LED is mounted near the USB connector. It has one green LED which is used to indicate power and one red

LED that can be used for other purposes. The green LED will be active when power is applied to the board but it can be

disabled by software from the AT32UC3A3256 device if needed. The red LED is active low and the green LED is active

high.

5.3 Analog I/O

A RC filter and a NTC temperature sensor are connected to ADC0 and ADC1 respectively. These analog sensors are

used as input to the ADC but it is also possible to disconnect them by cutting the cut-straps on the bottom side of the

board.

The RC filter (1. order low-pass) has an approximate 3dB cut-off frequency of 159Hz. The input to the RC filter is one of

the UC3 GPIO pins that can be configured to output a PWM signal to the RC filter. This can be used to generate a DC

voltage on the output of the RC filter which can be measured on the ADC. As this is a 1. order filter, the ripple on the DC

voltage is proportional to the input frequency. A higher input frequency will give lower ripple on the output.

5.4 Touch

The UC3-A3 Xplained kit has one QTouch button and one QTouch slider; both are connected to GPIO pins on the

AT32UC3A3256.

6. Included code example

The example application is based on the Atmel Software Framework (ASF) found online at http://asf.atmel.com. For

documentation, help and examples on the drivers used, please take a look at the website. The Atmel Software

Framework is also included in Atmel Studio.

6.1 Compiling and running

The code examples that can be found in ASF can be compiled by running make on the makefile included in the project

or by opening up the project in IAR™ and compiling the project within IAR.

7. Revision history

To identify the revision of the Atmel UC3-A3 Xplained kit, locate the bar-code sticker on the back side of the board. The

first line on the sticker shows the product ID and the revision. For example “A09-1053/10” can be resolved to ID=A09-

1053 and revision=10.

Atmel AVR32918: UC3-A3 Xplained Hardware User’s Guide [APPLICATION NOTE]

32159C−AVR−07/2012

7.1 Revision 10

Revision 10 of the UC3-A3 Xplained kit is the initially released version. This revision of the kit has the following product

ID: A09-1053/10.

7.1.1 Known issues

7.1.1.1 Swapped TWI SCL and TWI SDA on header J4

The TWI lines that are connected to the pins one and two on the header J4 are swapped. Therefore the silkscreen on

the board is not correct because TWI SCL function is on pin one instead of pin two and TWI SDA function is on pin two

instead of pin one.
