EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Key Features
• 9,600 baud KNX Communication Speed
• Supervision of KNX Bus Voltage
• High Efficient 3.3 V to 21 V Selectable DC−DC
The NCN5120 Development Board is the ideal solution
for developing your KNX application with the
ON Semiconductor KNX transceiver NCN5120. The
development board contains the NCN5120 KNX
Transceiver which handles the transmission and reception of
data on the bus. It will also generate all necessary voltages
to power the board and external loads.
It also contains a microcontroller with debug interface for
custom firmware development. Up to 8 external switches
can be monitored and up to 4 external loads can be
controlled. A voltage between 3.3 V and 21 V is available to
drive the external loads.
The NCN5120 Development Board assures safe coupling
to and decoupling from the KNX bus. Bus monitoring warns
the external microcontroller for loss of power so that critical
data can be stored in time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Because the NCN5120 Development Board contains the
NCN5120 KNX Transceiver (KNX Certified) no details on
KNX will be given in this document. Detailed information
on the Certified KNX Transceiver NCN5120 can be found
in the NCN5120 datasheet (www.onsemi.com). Detailed
information on the KNX Bus can be found on the KNX
website and in the KNX standards (www.knx.org).
Above formula gives only an estimation and will mainly
depend on the firmware loaded on the microcontroller (U2,
see Figure 11). One must always verify that the KNX bus
loading is in line with the KNX Specification under all
operating conditions!
Xtal Oscillator
A crystal of 16 MHz (Y1, see Figure 11) is foreseen on the
development board. This clock signal is also supplied to the
microcontroller.
See
the
NCN5120
datasheet
(www.onsemi.com) for more details on this signal.
KNX Bus Connection
Connection to the KNX bus is done by means of J1. A
standard Wago connector (type 243−211) can be used for
this (see Figure 18). A reverse protection diode (D1,
Figure 11) is foreseen (mandatory) as also a Transient
Voltage Suppressor (D2, Figure 11).
RESETB and SAVEB
The KNX transceiver NCN5120 controls the reset state of
the microcontroller by means of the RESETB signal. An
additional signal SAVEB can be monitored by the
microcontroller to detect possible issues. See NCN5120
datasheet for more details on these two signals.
Voltage Supervisors
NCN5120 has different voltage supervisors. Please check
the NCN5120 datasheet for more details.
Temperature Monitor
NCN5120 produces an over-temperature warning (TW)
and a thermal shutdown warning (TSD). Please check the
NCN5120 datasheet for more details.
Figure 18. KNX Bus Connector
External IO
Adjustable DC−DC Converter
The development board has the possibility to monitor up
to 8 inputs (pin 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 of J3) and control
up to 4 outputs (pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 of J3). Notice that 4 of the
inputs are shared with 4 of the outputs (pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 of
J3). By default the board has 4 inputs (pin 9, 11, 13 and 15
of J3) and 4 outputs (pin 1, 3, 5 and 7 of J3). To use the
additional 4 inputs, Q1 … Q4 need to be removed and R12,
R17, R22 and R25 need to be mounted. The input pins are
3.3 V compliant and ESD protected (D5 … D8, Figure 11).
J3 is connected in such a way that an easy connection
between the input and ground is possible (pin 9, 11, 13 and
15 of J3). The microcontroller (U2, see Figure 11) should be
configured with an internal pull-up (see microcontroller
datasheet on how to do this).
The external outputs are driven by means of low-side
drivers (Q1 … Q4, see Figure 11). A gate resistor is foreseen
for slope control (R15, R18, R23 and R26 of Figure 11). J3
is routed in such a way that the load can easily be connected
between the output (low-side driver) and VDD2. Q1 … Q4
can be used over the complete VDD2 voltage range. ESD
diodes D9 … D12 need to be replaced if VDD2 is increased
(see also Adjustable DC-DC Converter).
NCN5120 provides the power for the complete reference
design. It has also a second power supply which can be used
to drive external loads. The voltage is programmable
between 3.3V and 21V by means of an external resistor
divider (R6 and R9, see Figure 11). The voltage divider can
be calculated as next:
R6 +
R 9 R VDD2M
R 9 ) R VDD2M
V DD2 * 3.3
3.3
(eq. 1)
RVDD2M is between 60 kW and 140 kW (typical 100 kW).
The DC value of the KNX bus should be higher than VDD2.
Be aware that when changing the VDD2 voltage, D9 … D12
(see Figure 11) need to be replaced. Check the SMFxxA
product
family
for
possible
replacements
(www.onsemi.com).
Although VDD2 is capable of delivering 100 mA, the
maximum current capability will not always be usable. One
needs to make sure that the KNX bus power consumption
stays within the KNX specification. The maximum allowed
current for VDD2 can be calculated as next:
V BUS
I BUS w 2
ƪ0.033 ) ǒV DD2
I DD2Ǔƫ
(eq. 2)
IBUS is limited by NCN5120. If J5 is open, IBUS can
maximum be 12.5 mA. If J5 is shorted, IBUS can maximum
be 25 mA. IBUS will however also be limited by the KNX
standard. Minimum VBUS is 20 V (see KNX standard).
Push Button and LED’s
One push button (SW1) and 3 LED’s (LED1 … LED3)
are foreseen on the reference design. These are freely usable.

microcontroller (U2, Figure 11) but this is only used to
verify the development board before shipment. The user has
the possibility to develop his own firmware but help on
programming the microcontroller will not be provided my
ON Semiconductor.
NCN5120 contains the physical layer and a part of the data
link layer (see Figure 19). ON Semiconductor can provide
a library for the microcontroller to complete the data link
layer. By no means will ON Semiconductor provide any of
the higher layer stacks (Network Layer, Transport Layer,
…). Sufficient 3rd party companies are available which have
certified higher layer stacks.
Several jumpers are located on the board (J5 ... J8). J5 can
be used to set the Fan-In. Mount the jumper for the highest
Fan-In setting.
J6 is required when one wants to force NCN5120 in
Analog Mode (make sure microcontroller is in reset to avoid
conflicts!).
J7 can be used to disconnect the microcontroller from the
fixed DC/DC converter of NCN5120. Be aware that if the
microcontroller is not powered, NCN5120 could start
powering the microcontroller over the IO-pins. It’s advised
to always short J7.
J8 can be used to disconnect the RESETB-signal from the
RST-pin of the microcontroller.
FAQs
1. Is this development board KNX Certified?
No, only NCN5120 is KNX Certified. The
development board may only be used for
evaluation of NCN5120. It is not allowed to use
the development board in a final product or to sell
it as a KNX Certified product. Contact
ON Semiconductor if you want to use the
development board as a final product.
Microcontroller Debug Interface
J4 is the microcontroller debug interface. See the
microcontroller datasheet for more info on how to use this
interface.
Interface Mode
The device can communicate with the host controller by
means of a UART interface or an SPI interface. The
selection of the interface is done by the pins MODE1,
MODE2, TREQ, SCK/UC2 and CSB/UC1 which are
connected to the microcontroller (see Figure 11). More
details on the different interfaces can be found back in
Table 6 and the NCN5120 datasheet.
2. What 3rd party companies do you recommend for
the higher layer stacks?
ON Semiconductor does not recommend any 3rd
party company in particular. Several 3rd party
companies have KNX Certified stacks and it’s
always advised to use one of these stacks. Some
companies have experience with NCN5120.
Contact ON Semiconductor for more information.
Digital Description
The implementation of the Data Link Layer as specified
in the KNX standard is divided in two parts. All functions
related to communication with the Physical Layer and most
of the Data Link Layer services are inside NCN5120, the rest
of the functions and the upper communication layers are
implemented into the microcontroller (see Figure 11 and
Figure 19).
The host controller is responsible for handling:
• Checksum
• Parity
• Addressing
• Length
3. Can we freely reuse the schematic and layout of
this development board?
It is allowed to reuse the schematic, components
and layout of the NCN5120 development board for
your own application. Because the operating
conditions of your design are not known by
ON Semiconductor, one must always fully verify
the design even if it’s based on this development
board. Contact ON Semiconductor if additional
information is required.
4. Can we request ON Semiconductor to supply the
higher layer stacks?
By no means will ON Semiconductor provide any
higher layer stacks. Certified higher layer stacks
can be provided by 3rd party companies (see also
Firmware).
The NCN5120 is responsible for handling:
• Checksum
• Parity
• Acknowledge
• Repetition
• Timing
5. How much load can the outputs drive?
The maximum allow load can be calculated with
the formula as given in Adjustable DC-DC
Converter (page x13). IDD2 defines the maximum
load the outputs can drive in total.
Services
All services can be found back in the NCN5120 datasheet
(www.onsemi.com).
Firmware
No special firmware is provided with the development
board. There will be some basic firmware flashed on the

9. Is it possible to bypass the microcontroller on the
KNX REV5 board and connect NCN5120 directly
with our microcontroller board?
Although the board is not designed for this, this is
possible. One could connect NCN5120 directly to
your microcontroller board by soldering some
wires on the KNX REV5 board. It is however
advised to remove the microcontroller from the
KNX REV5 board or to put the microcontroller in
reset (short pins 8 and 7 of J4 (see Figure 10)).
In case one wants to use the UART interface (9-bit
UART, 19 200 bps) or Analog Mode, one could
even use connector J2. The KNX_TXD and
KNX_RXD give a direct connection to the TXDand RXD-pin of NCN5120. Because the MODE1-,
MODE2- and TREQ-pin have an internal pull
down, one does not even need to connect these
pins for UART mode. For Analog Mode one can
use J6 to make the TREQ-pin high.
6. What is the usage of ARXD and ATXD
(Figure 11)?
These pins have no meaning and cannot be used.
7. I’ve tried all possible R6 and R9 combinations but
I’m not capable of setting VDD2 above 6 V. How
does this come?
As can be seen in Figure 10, VDD2 (5 V) is
connected to an ESD protection diode (D14). This
is a 5 V ESD protection diode. Whenever one tries
to set VDD2 above 5 V, this ESD diode will trigger
and limit the VDD2 voltage to about 6 V.
This issue can be solved by, or removing D14 (in
an ESD safe area this should not be an issue), or
by replacing this 5 V ESD diode with a higher
voltage version (see the SMFxxA datasheet for
other versions (www.onsemi.com)).
8. Is it possible to test all interfaces (UART, SPI,
Analog Mode) with KNX REV5?
Yes, the KNX REV5 board can be used with all
possible interfaces. One has to be careful however
when using the Analog Mode. In the Analog Mode
the digital of NCN5120 is bypassed. If the
microcontroller would force the RXD−pin (pin 29)
of NCN5120 low, NCN5120 would pull the KNX
bus low which could lead to issues.
10. I’m trying to sink more than 13 mA from the KNX
bus with KNX REV5 but I’m having issues with the
voltage regulators whenever I’m going above
16 mA. What could be the issue?
To be able to take more than 13 mA from the KNX
bus one needs to pull the FANIN/WAKE−pin of
NCN5120 low. This can be done by shorting J5
(add jumper).
See NCN5120 datasheet for more info on the
FANIN/WAKE−pin.
