  • Page 9: Function Blocks

    The SAM4E16 features an External Bus Interface (EBI) that permits interfacing to a broad range of external memories and virtually to any parallel peripheral. The SAM4E-EK board is equipped with one NAND Flash MT29F2G08ABAEA on the EBI. This can change to other type of flash by setting the Static Memory Controller.

    Conversely, it can be asserted low from the outside to reset the microcontroller Core and the peripherals. The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor of 100kΩ to VDDIO. On the SAM4E-EK board, the NRST signal is connected to the LCD module and JTAG port. Note: At power-on, the NRST signal is asserted with default duration of two clock cycles.
  • Page 11: Power Supply And Management

    Power supply and management The Atmel SAM4E-EK board is supplied with an external 5V DC block through input J1. It is protected by a PolyZen diode (MN2) and an LC combinatory filter (MN3). The PolyZen is used in the event of an incorrect power supply connection.
