Selecting the power source is done with the slide switch in the lower left corner of the board. Figure Figure 4.1 shows how the different power sources can be selected with the slide switch. 5V USB Mini- B Connector Advanced Energy Monitor US B D BG BA T Figure 4.1. EFM32WG-STK3800 Power Switch 3.3V DBG VMCU USB BAT USB_VREGO (3.3V) EFM32 MCU USB_VREGI (5V) USB OTG Connector 3V Lithium Battery (CR2032) With the switch in the DBG position, an on-board low noise LDO with a fixed output voltage of 3.3V is used to power the MCU. This LDO is again powered from the "J-Link" USB cable. The Advanced Energy Monitor is now also connected in series, allowing accurate high speed current measurements and energy debugging/profiling. With the switch in the USB position, the integrated linear regulator in the EFM32 Wonder Gecko MCU is used to power the rest of the chip as well as the USB PHY. This allows a USB device application where the MCU acts as a bus powered device. Finally, with the switch in the BAT position, a 20mm coin cell battery in the CR2032 socket can be used to power the device. Note The Advanced Energy Monitor can only measure the current consumption of the EFM32 when the power selection switch is in the DBG position. 4.2 Board Controller Power The Board Controller is responsible for important features such as the debugger and the Advanced Energy Monitor, and is powered exclusively through the USB port in the top left corner of the board. This part of the kit resides on a separate power domain, so a different power source can be selected for the MCU while retaining debugging functionality. This power domain is also isolated to prevent current leakage from the MCU power domain when power to the Board Controller is removed. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 5 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 4.3 Backup Power Domain The kit contains a backup capacitor that can be used together with the EFM32 Wonder Gecko's backup power domain. In this case, all other power sources are removed from the kit, and only a small part of the EFM32 runs off the capacitor. It is also possible to enter backup mode while the Board Controller is powered by selecting either BAT or USB with no battery in the socket or USB cable in the connector. 4.4 MCU Reset The EFM32 MCU can be reset by a few different sources: • The RESET button. • The on-board debugger. • An external debugger by pulling the #RST pin low. 4.5 Board Controller Reset The Board Controller can be reset by removing and re-inserting the J-Link USB cable. Removing the Board Controller USB cable will not reset the EFM32, but whenever the Board Controller is powered up again, it will issue a RESET to the EFM32 through the on-board debugger. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 6 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 5 Peripherals The starter kit has a set of peripherals that showcase some of the features of the EFM32 Wonder Gecko microcontroller. Be aware that most EFM32 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 marked PB0 and PB1. They are connected to the EFM32, and are debounced by RC filters with a time constant of 1ms. The buttons are connected to pins PB9 and PB10. In addition to the two push buttons, the kit also features two yellow LEDs marked LED0 and LED1, that are controlled by GPIO pins on the EFM32. The LEDs are connected to pins PE2 and PE3 in an activehigh configuration. Figure 5.1. Buttons/LEDs PE2 PE3 PB9 PB10 UIF_LED0 UIF_LED1 UIF_PB0 UIF_PB1 User Buttons & LEDs EFM32 MCU 5.2 LCD A 28-pin Energy Micro LCD display is connected to the EFM32. The LCD has 8 common lines and 20 segment lines, giving a total of 160 segments in 8-plexed mode. These lines are not shared on the breakout pads. Figure 5.2. 160 Segment LCD PA[11..7] LCD_SEG[39..35] PB[2..0] LCD_SEG[34..32] PD[12..9] LCD_SEG[31..28] 8x 20 Segm ent LCD PA[6..0], PA15 LCD_SEG[19..12] PB[6..3] LCD_COM[7..4] PE[7..4] LCD_COM[3..0] EFM32 MCU Capacitors for the EFM32 Wonder Gecko LCD boost function are also available on the EFM32WGSTK3800. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 7 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 5.3 Capacitive Touch Slider A touch slider utilizing the capacitive touch capability is available. It is placed beneath the two push buttons on the kit. The slider interpolates 4 separate pads to find the exact position of a finger. For low power operation, the touch slider can be used together with LESENSE to continuously scan all 4 pads, using LESENSE channels 8 to 11. Figure 5.3. Touch Slider PC8 (ACMP1_CH0) PC9 (ACMP1_CH1) PC10 (ACMP1_CH2) PC11 (ACMP1_CH3) UIF_TOUCH0 UIF_TOUCH1 UIF_TOUCH2 UIF_TOUCH3 Touch Slider EFM32 MCU The capacitive touch slider works by sensing changes in the capacitance of the pads when touched by a human finger. Sensing the changes in capacitance is done by setting up the touch pad as part of an RC relaxation oscillator using the EFM32's analog comparator, and then counting the number of oscillations during a fixed period of time. 5.4 Ambient Light Sensor The kit has a light sensitive, transistor type, ambient light sensor connected to the low energy sensor interface of the EFM32 Wonder Gecko MCU. The sensor is placed above the push buttons and can be used to sense changes in ambient light levels. Figure 5.4. Light Sensor LIGHT_EXCITE PD6 (LES_ALTEX0) PC6 (ACMP0_CH6) EFM32 MCU LIGHT_SENSE TEMT6200FX01 22K Two pins are used for the light sensor operation: one for excitation, and one for sensing. The sense pin is connected to ACMP0 CH6. Both the excitation pin and the sense pin can be controlled directly from the EFM32's LESENSE module. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 8 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 5.5 LC Sensor In the bottom right corner there is an inductive-capacitive sensor for demonstrating the low energy sensor interface. By setting up oscillating currents in the inductor, metal nearby the inductor can be sensed by measuring the oscillation decay time. The effective range is a few millimeters. Figure 5.5.

The interface is a simple 8-bit parallel interface. This peripheral demonstrates the EFM32 Wonder Gecko's EBI module's NAND support with built in ECC generation. Figure 5.6. NAND Flash Interface VMCU PB15 NAND_PWR_EN PE[15..8] EBI_AD[7..0] I/ O[7..0] PC1 EBI_A24 ALE PC2 EBI_A25 CLE PF8 EBI_WE# WE# PF9 EBI_RE# RE# PD13 NAND_WP# WP# PD14 NAND_CE# CE# PD15 NAND_R/ B# R/ B# EFM32 MCU NAND256W3A A separate power switch is used to enable/disable the NAND flash, thus avoiding excess current draw when not used. When NAND_PWR_EN is high, the NAND flash is powered from the same supply as the EFM32 MCU. It is recommended to keep the write-protect line low during power transitions. The ALE (address latch enable) and CLE (command latch enable) pins of the NAND Flash are connected to the EBI Address pins 24 and 25, and the CE (chip enable) line is connected to a general GPIO pin. This causes the NAND data, address and command registers to be mapped in the EFM32's address space as: Data register: 0x80000000 Address register: 0x81000000 Command register: 0x82000000 5.7 Backup Domain Capacitor A small super capacitor is provided to evaluate the EFM32 Wonder Gecko MCU's backup power domain. The capacitor has a nominal value of 33 mF, and is connected with a 100 ohm series resistor to the BU_VIN pin of the EFM32. Because of the extremely low power consumption of the EFM32 in backup mode (400nA), the capacitor can power a clock application using the low frequency crystal oscillator (LFXO) for more than 8 hours. The series resistor allows measuring of the current drawn from the capacitor into the EFM32 device, by simply using a multimeter to measure the voltage across it. Please refer to the schematic and assembly drawings to locate the series resistor. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 10 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 5.8 USB Micro-AB Connector The EFM32WG-STK3800 board is equipped with a USB Micro-AB connector supporting USB Device and Embedded Host modes. The figure below shows how the USB lines are connected to the EFM32. The USB_VBUSEN line is connected to a current limited switch which supplies the VBUS line with 5V when operating as a USB Host. The current limited switch also has a flag signal connected to the EFM32 which can notify it in case excessive current is drawn by the attached device. Note that the "J-Link" USB cable must be inserted to provide 5V to the device when operating the EFM32 in host mode. Figure 5.7.

The actual operational amplifier is one of the op-amps inside the EFM32. By soldering 0603 sized resistors the EFM32 internal operational amplifier can be evaluated with exact resistor values. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 11 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 6 Advanced Energy Monitor 6.1 Usage The AEM (Advanced Energy Monitor) data is collected by the board controller and can be displayed by the energyAware Profiler, available through Simplicity Studio. By using the energyAware Profiler, current consumption and voltage can be measured and linked to the actual code running on the EFM32 in realtime. 6.2 AEM theory of operation In order to be able to accurately measure current ranging from 0.1uA to 50mA (114dB dynamic range), a current sense amplifier is utilized together with a dual gain stage. The current sense amplifier measures the voltage drop over a small series resistor, and the gain stage further amplifies this voltage with two different gain settings to obtain two current ranges. The transition between these two ranges occurs around 250uA. Digital filtering and averaging is done within the Board Controller before the samples are exported to the energyAware Profiler application. During startup of the kit, an automatic calibration of the AEM is performed. This calibration compensates for the offset error in the sense amplifiers. Figure 6.1. Advanced Energy Monitor 5V LDO 3.3V VMCU 4.7R Sense Resistor Power Select Switch Current Sense Am plifier EFM32 Sensors & Peripherals HG Dual Gain Stage AEM Processing LG 6.3 AEM accuracy and performance The Advanced Energy Monitor is capable of measuring currents in the range of 0.1uA to 50mA. For currents above 250uA, the AEM is accurate within 0.1mA. When measuring currents below 250uA, the accuracy increases to 1uA. Even though the absolute accuracy is 1uA in the sub 250uA range, the AEM is able to detect changes in the current consumption as small as 100nA. The AEM produces 6250 current samples per second. Note The current measurement will only be correct when powering the EFM32 from USB power through the debugger (power select switch set to "DBG"). 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 12 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 7 Board Controller The kit contains a board controller that is responsible for performing various board level tasks, such as handling the debugger and the Advanced Energy Monitor. An interface is provided between the EFM32 and the board controller in the form of a UART connection. The connection is enabled by setting the EFM_BC_EN (PF7) line high, and using the lines EFM_BC_TX (PE0) and EFM_BC_RX (PE1) for communicating. Specific library functions has been provided in the kit Board Support Package that supports various requests to be made to the board controller, such as quering AEM voltage or current. To use these functions, the Board Support Package must be installed. See the Chapter 8 to find out more. Note The board controller is only available when USB power is connected. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 13 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 8 Board Support Package The Board Support Package (BSP) is a set of C source and header files that enables easy access to, and control over some board specific features. Compared to the Energy Micro development kit, the functionality is limited. Unless you need/want some of the functions contained in the BSP, there is really no need to include or use it. The EFM32 in the Starter Kit is fully usable without BSP support, and you can use all peripherals in the emlib without the BSP. The BSP use EFM32 peripheral UART0, Location 1 (TX pin PE0, RX pin PE1) on baudrate 115200-8N-1 to communicate with the board controller. Note The BSP is only functional when the Starter Kit is USB-powered, using these function calls with USB disconnected will give unpredictable results. 8.1 Installation location When installing Simplicity Studio, the BSP will be installed in the user directory, typically in a location such as Win7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\energymicro\kits\EFM32WG_STK3800\ or something similar (depending on your OS/Windows version). All files in the board support package are prefixed by stk. 8.2 Application Programming Interface To use the BSP, include the Starter Kit header file, like this: #include "bsp.h" All functions in the BSP are prefixed with BSP_. The main initialization routine is defined as void BSP_Init ( BSP_INIT_STK_BCUART ) and must be called before any access to the STK-functions. This function call will setup the UART communication channel with a 115800 baud rate. This baud rate depends on the current core clock, so correct clock configuration should be set before calling this function. float BSP_CurrentGet ( void ) Returns instant current usage in milliamperes. float BSP_VoltageGet ( void ) Returns instant voltage (VMCU) reading in volt. 8.3 Example Applications Under the kits/EFM32WG_STK3800/examples folder in your installation directory, you will find an example program using the BSP, with corresponding project/Makefiles for the supported IDEs. The examples folder also contains examples showing how to use the different peripherals on the EFM32WG-STK3800. 8.4 How to include in your own applications The easiest way to include the BSP in your application is to base your work on the example application that use the BSP. The following items are recommended for correct configuration: 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 14 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 1. Make sure you define the correct part number (i.e. EFM32WG990F256) as a preprocessor defined symbol 2. Make sure you define the correct part number (i.e. EFM32WG990F256) for your project file 3. Add and include the EFM32_CMSIS-files (startup_efm32.s, system_efm32.c, core_cm3.c) to your project 4. Add and include all BSP package .c-files, with the bsp-prefix to your project 5. Configure include paths to point at the CMSIS/CM3/CoreSupport and CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ EnergyMicro/EFM32 directories 6. Configure include paths to point to the kits/EFM32WG_STK3800/bsp directory Make sure you call "BSP_Init()" early at startup, and you should be all set. 2013-10-10 - t0028_0.11 15 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 9 Connectors 9.1 Breakout pads Many of the EFM32's pins are routed out to "breakout pads" at the top and bottom edges of the kit. A 2.54mm 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 and some pins used to drive the NAND flash. Note Some of the breakout pads are shared by on-board EFM peripherals. The schematic must be consulted to make sure that it is OK to use a shared pin in your application.
