5.2. Target Board Power Options and Current Measurement (J4, J6, J7, J24, P4, TB1)
The MCUs on the C8051F560 Target Board are powered from a +5 V net. The +5 V net is connected to the
headers J4 and J24 (Side A) and J6 (Side B). Shorting blocks can be put on each header to connect the 5V net to
the VREGIN and VIO pins on the two MCUs. With the shorting blocks removed, a source meter can be used
across the headers to measure the current consumption of the MCU.
The +5 V net on the target board has three possible sources:
1. 12V dc power using the ac to dc power adapter (P4)
2. 5V dc USB VBUS power from PC via the USB Debug Adapter (DEBUG_A)
3. 12V dc power from the LIN external header (TB1)
5.2.1. Using the AC to DC Power Adapter as the Target Board Power Source (P4, J7)
The default configuration of the target board uses the ac to dc power adapter as the source. The 12 V from the
adapter is regulated to +5 V using an LDO regulator (U6). The output of the regulator is connected to the +5 V net
of the target board through the J7 header. A shorting block should be installed on pins J7[2-3] for this purpose. The
+5V net powers the MCUs directly.
5.2.2. Using the USB Debug Adapter as the Target Board Power Source (J7)
The target board can use +5 V provided by the USB Debug Adapter. To enable this source, a shorting block should
be installed on pins J7[1-2]. With this shorting block, the output of the LDO regulator (U6) is disconnected from the
+5 V net of the target board, and the SER_PWR node is connected to +5 V.
Note: The USB Debug Adapter does not provide the necessary peak power for the CAN transceivers to operate.
One of the 12 V dc sources is recommended for CAN transceiver operation.
5.2.3. Using an External +12V LIN Source as the Target Board Power Source (J7, TB1)
The two 12V power sources (LIN and ac to dc power adapter) are ORed together using reverse-biased diodes (Z1
and Z2) and connected to the input of the LDO regulator (U6). The output of the regulator is connected to the +5 V
net of the target board through the J7 header. A shorting block should be installed on pins J7[2-3] for this purpose.
The +5V net powers the MCUs directly.
5.3. System Clock Sources (J9, J10)
5.3.1. Internal Oscillators
The C8051F568 and C8051F550 devices installed on the target board feature a factory-calibrated, programmable
high-frequency internal oscillator (24 MHz base frequency, ±0.5%), which is enabled as the system clock source on
reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of 187.5 kHz by default but may be configured by
software to operate at other frequencies. The on-chip crystal is accurate for CAN and LIN master communications
and in many applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F568
device (Side A) at a frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to
the C8051F55x/56x/57x data sheet for more information on configuring the system clock source.
5.3.2. External Oscillator Options
The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal. Remove shorting blocks at headers
J9 and J10 and install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 M resistor at R2 and install capacitors at C6
and C7 using values appropriate for the crystal you select. If you wish to operate the external oscillator in capacitor
or RC mode, options to install a capacitor or an RC network are also available on the target board. R2, R3, C6, and
C7 are located on the back side of the board, near the Side A MCU. Populate C6 for capacitor mode, and populate
R3 and C6 for RC mode. Refer to the C8051F55x/56x/57x data sheet for more information on the use of external
oscillators.

C8051F55x/56x/57x
5.4. Switches and LEDs (J15, J19)
Two push-button switches are provided on the target board for each MCU. Switch RESET_A is connected to the
RST pin of the C8051F568. Switch RESET_B is connected to the RST pin of the C8051F550. Pressing RESET_A
puts the C8051F568 device into its hardware-reset state, and similarly for RESET_B and the C8051F550 MCU.
Switches P1.4_A and P1.4_B are connected to the MCU’s general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins through headers.
Pressing either one of these switches generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the shorting block from
the header to disconnect these switches from the port pins. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers
corresponding to each switch.
Four LEDs are provided on the target board to serve as indicators. The red LED labeled PWR LED indicates
presence of power to the target board. The second red LED labeled COMM indicates if the CP2102 USB-to-UART
bridge is recognized by the PC. The green LED on Side A is labeled with a port pin name and is connected to a
C8051F568 GPIO pin through a header. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the LED from
the port pin. Similarly, a second green LED on Side B is connected to the C8051F550 through another header. See
Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each LED.

5.6. Serial Interface (P5, J17)
A USB-to-UART bridge circuit (U5) and USB connector (P5) are provided on the target board to facilitate serial
connections to UART0 of the C8051F568 (Side A). The Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-to-UART bridge provides data
connectivity between the C8051F568 and the PC via a USB port. The TX and RX signals of UART0 may be
connected to the CP2102 by installing shorting blocks on header J17. The shorting block positions for connecting
each of these signals to the CP2102 are listed in Table 3. To use this interface, the USB-to-UART device drivers
should be installed as described in Section C8051F560.

5.7. CAN Interface and Network (J8, J12, J14, J17, TB2)
Both MCUs on the target board are connected to CAN transceivers (U3, U4) through headers. The port pins
assigned to the CAN peripheral on each MCU are P0.6 (CAN_TX) and P0.7 (CAN_RX). The C8051F568 (Side A)
is connected to U3 through the J17 header and the C8051F550 (Side B) is connected to U4 through the J12
header. The two CAN transceivers are connected to each other and form a CAN network. Other external devices
can be connected to the CAN network through the TB2 interface. The shorting block positions for connecting the
MCUs to the CAN transceivers are listed in Table 4. The pin connections for the external CAN devices are listed in
Table 5. The CAN transceivers are powered by the +5VREG node and connected through J8 and J14 headers.

5.8. LIN Interface and Network (J12, J17, J21, TB1)
Both MCUs on the target board are connected to LIN transceivers through headers. These headers assume that
the MCU’s crossbars are configured to put the LIN TX and RX pins on port pins P1.0 and P1.1 respectively. See
the C8051F55x/56x/57x data sheet for crossbar configuration. The C8051F568 (Side A) is connected to the T1
transceiver through the J17 header and the C8051F550 (Side B) is connected to the T2 transceiver through the
J12 header. The two LIN transceivers are connected to each other and form a LIN network. Other external devices
can be connected to the LIN network through the TB1 interface. The TB1 interface also provides the option for
connecting an external power source so that all LIN transceivers can use the same source voltage. This source
voltage can also be used to power the target board. If an external voltage source is not provided, the LIN
transceivers use the 12V provided through the P4 power adapter connector. See Section 5.2. for more power
option details. The shorting block positions for connecting the MCUs to the LIN transceivers are listed in Table 6.
The pin connections for the external LIN devices are listed in Table 7.

The Silicon Labs add-on boards designed to interface to the 96-pin interface are primarily designed to operate at
3.3 V and to use a non-multiplexed external memory interface. When interfacing to a +3.3 V add-on board, it is
recommended to put the shorting block on J4[2-3] to connect VIO of the C8051F568 to +3.3 V instead of the
default +5 V. The C8051F560 target board also includes an 8-bit latch (U8) for use with the multiplexed mode of the
Rev. 0.2
13
C8051F55x/56x/57x
external memory interface. The output pins of the latch are connected to the 96-pin header and include an _L suffix
in the pin name.
5.12. Potentiometer (J20)
The C8051F568 (Side A) device has the option to connect port pin P1.2 to a 10K linear potentiometer (R27). The
potentiometer is connected through the J20 header. The potentiometer can be used for testing the analog-to-digital
(ADC) converter of the MCU.
5.13. Power Supply I/O (Side A) (TB3)
All of the C8051F568 target device’s supply pins are connected to the TB3 terminal block. Refer to Table 11 for the
TB3 terminal block connections.

5.14. Alternate Power Supply Headers (J18, J21)
The C8051F560 Target Board includes two headers that allow for alternate power sources and power
measurement. Header J18 connects the VIO voltage supplied to the Side A MCU to other peripherals on the board,
such as the P1.4_A push-button switch pull-up, and the R27 potentiometer source. To enable current
measurement, the shorting block on J18 can be removed so that the VIO_A node only powers the VIO pin on the
MCU. Another voltage source will need to be applied to the VIO_SRC node to power the other peripherals.
5.15. C2 Pin Sharing
On the C8051F568 (Side A) and the C8051F550 (Side B), the debug pins C2CK and C2D are shared with the pins
RST and P4.0/P2.1 respectively. The target board includes the resistors necessary to enable pin sharing which
allow the pin–shared pins to be used normally while simultaneously debugging the device. See Application Note
“AN124: Pin Sharing Techniques for the C2 Interface” at www.silabs.com for more information regarding pin
sharing.

5.16. Target Board Pin Assignment Summary
Some GPIO pins of the C8051F568 MCU can have an alternate fixed function. For example, pin 38 on the
C8051F568 MCU is designated P0.4, and can be used as a GPIO pin. Also, if the UART0 peripheral on the MCU is
enabled using the crossbar registers, the TX signal is routed to this pin. This is shown in the "Alternate Fixed
Function" column. The "Target Board Function" column shows that this pin is used as TX on the C8051F560 Target
Board. The "Relevant Headers" column shows that this signal is routed to pin 3 of the J17 header and pin 5 of the
J1 header. More details can be found in the C8051F55x/56x/57x data sheet. Some of the GPIO pins of the
C8051F568 have been used for various functions on the target board. All pins of the Side A MCU also connect to
the 96-pin (P1) expansion connector which is not explicitly listed below. Table 12 summarizes the C8051F568 MCU
pin assignments on the target board, and also shows the various headers associated with each signal.
