RX65N Envision Kit 1 Overview 1. Overview Purpose This development kit is an evaluation tool for Renesas microcontrollers. This manual describes the technical details of the RX65N Envision Kit hardware. Features The RX65N Envision Kit provides an evaluation of the following features: In-circuit programming and debugging with E2 Lite On Board (E2OB).
RX65N Envision Kit 2 Power Supply 2. Power Supply Requirements With the display backlight enabled, and operational, the RX65N Envision Kit can typically draw 170mA from the 5V supply provided from the mini-B USB connection CN9. This is a typical figure and not worst case, so it is recommended that the RX65N Envision Kit be supplied from a USB supply capable of supplying at least 500mA.

RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry 4. Envision Kit Circuitry Power Scheme 4.1.1 Debug USB – CN9 The mini-B USB socket CN9 provides an interface between the programmer/debugger and the development Power for the RX65N Envision Kit is sourced from this USB connection; it is important that sufficient current is available.
4.2.1 E2 On Board Programmer / Debugger The E2OB implements the functionality of the Renesas E2 Lite Programmer / Debugger on the Envision PCB, requiring just a USB connection to a development PC. For more details of the E2OB capabilities please see the ‘On-chip Debuggers Performance Property’ reference document.

E2OB. When in use, the on-board E2OB should be switched off by setting SW1 position 1 to OFF. See section 4.2.2. For details of obtaining and using an external E1 Emulator please contact your local Renesas representative. Clock Circuit Clock circuits are fitted to the Envision Kit to generate the required clock signal to drive the MCU, and other peripherals.
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry Switch and Joystick There is one user-switch located on the Envision Kit board and provision has also been made for a 5-way micro- switch operated joystick, which is not fitted as standard. The switch and joystick connections to the RX65N MCU are shown in Table 4-7 and Table 4-8.
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry Pmod™ There is a single Pmod™ Interface Type 2A Compatible expansion header on the Envision kit. Care should be taken when installing Pmod modules to ensure pins are not bent or damaged. Pmod modules are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD);...
When running any Ethernet software, a unique MAC address should be used. As the Envision Kit is not fitted with an Ethernet transceiver IC or Connector by default, it is not supplied with a unique Renesas allocated MAC address. It is recommended that a unique MAC address should be always be used with this device ensured to ensure full compatibility when using other hardware on a common Ethernet connection.
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry Note that with the LAN8720A configured to provide the 50MHz clock-out signal from the 25MHz crystal oscillator, the worst-case output delay time for the RX65N Ethernet controller (15ns) combined with the worst case setup time for the LAN8720A (7ns) exceeds the 20ns clock period for the RMII interface. In practice the combined controller delay time and transceiver setup time does not exceed the clock period.
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry USB Host The Envision Kit is fitted with a USB host socket (type A), CN11, which uses the USB module USB0 on the RX65N MCU. The connections for the USB0 module and USBA module are shown in Table 4-16 below. Table 4-16 : USB0 Module Connections Signal on Envision Kit USB Signal...
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry WQVGA LCD Display 4.9.1 Display Configuration The Envision Kit shows the capabilities of the RX65N MCU to directly drive a TFT LCD Display using its internal graphic LCD controller (GLCDC) and 2D drawing engine (DRW2D) peripherals. The display on the Envision Kit is a 4.3 inch 480 x 272 (WQVGA) colour display.

RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry 4.10 QSPI Flash The Envision Kit has a 32Mbit Quad Serial Peripheral Interface Flash memory. Table 4-19 below details the connections to the RX65N MCU, utilising the on-board QSPI-B peripheral. The Flash memory device used is a Macronix MX25L3233F.
RX65N Envision Kit 4 Envision Kit Circuitry 4.11.1 SDHI Power Management The 3.3V supply to the SDHI card output uses a power management circuit to control the power output and provide protection from overloads and short-circuits. The schematic for this is shown in Figure 4-7 below. The circuit is based around the ISL61861 power management IC from Intersil, which has an active-high enable input, an (asserted low) fault output and can supply up to 1.5A from the 3.3V source supply.
