4. Power Supply and Reset

4.1 MCU Power Selection

The Busy Bee MCU on the EFM8BB3-SLSTK2022A is designed to be powered by three different sources:

• Through the on-board debugger.

• By a 3 V battery.

• By an externally supplied power source.

Selecting the power source is done with the slide switch in the lower left corner of the board. The figure shows how the different power

sources can be selected with the slide switch.

Figure 4.1. EFM8BB3-SLSTK2022A Power Switch

With the switch in the AEM position, an on-board low noise LDO with a fixed output voltage of 3.3 V is used to power the MCU. This

LDO is powered from the "J-Link" USB cable.

With the switch in the BAT position, the device may be powered from either a 20 mm coin cell battery (in the CR2032 socket) or an

external power supply (connected to the VMCU and GND pins on the expansion header).

4.2 MCU Reset

The EFM8 MCU can be reset by a few different sources:

• The RESET button.

• An external debugger by pulling the RSTb pin low.

5. Peripherals

The starter kit has a set of peripherals that showcase some of the features of the EFM8 Busy Bee microcontroller.

Be aware that most EFM8 I/O routed to peripherals are also routed to the breakout pads. This must be taken into consideration when

using the breakout pads for your application.

5.1 Push Buttons and LEDs

The kit has two user push buttons. They are connected to the EFM8, and are debounced by RC filters with a time constant of 1 ms. The

buttons are connected to pins P0.2 and P0.3.

In addition to the two push buttons, the kit also features a tri-color LED that is controlled by EFM8 GPIO. The LED is connected to pins

P1.4, P1.5, and P1.6 in an active-low configuration.

5.2 Joystick

The kit has an analog joystick with 8 measureable positions. This joystick is connected to the EFM8 on the P1.7 pin and uses different

resistor values to create voltages measurable by the ADC0.

5.3 Memory LCD-TFT Display

A 1.28-inch SHARP Memory LCD-TFT has been added to the board to enable interactive applications to be developed. The display has

a high resolution of 128 by 128 pixels and consumes very little power. It is a reflective monochrome display, so each pixel can only be

light or dark, and no backlight is needed in normal daylight conditions.

The display interface consists of a SPI-compatible serial interface and some extra control signals. Data are sent to the display one line

(128 bits) at a time.

The Memory LCD-TFT display is shared with the kit Board Controller, allowing the Board Controller application to display useful infor-

mation when the user application is not using the display. The EFM8 MCU always controls ownership of the display using the

EFM_DISP_ENABLE signal:

• 0: The Board Controller has control of the display.

• 1: The user application (EFM8) has control of the display.

Data are clocked in on EFM_DISP_MOSI (P1.0) when EFM_DISP_CS (P2.6) is high, and the clock is sent on EFM_DISP_SCLK

(P0.6). The maximum supported clock speed is 1 MHz.

Refer to the display application information for details on driving the display:

6. Connectors

6.1 Breakout Pads

Many of the EFM8's pins are routed out to "breakout pads" at the top and bottom edges of the kit. A 2.54 mm pitch pin header can be

soldered in for easy access to these pins. Most I/O pins are available, with the exception of pins used to drive the LCD.

Note: Some of the breakout pads are shared by on-board EFM peripherals. The schematic must be consulted to make sure that it is

acceptable to use a shared pin in your application.
