Figure 4-1 shows the operating environment of the product. Install the integrated development environment (IDE), available on the following webpage, on the host PC. The necessary drivers will be installed as part of the IDE install process. https://www.renesas.com/development-tools USB cable RX72N Envision Kit Host PC Figure 4-1.
RX72N Envision Kit User's Manual 5. User Circuits 5. User Circuits Power Supply Circuit The board operates on 5 V of power supplied via USB Micro-B connector ECN1 or DC jack CN7. Figure 5-1 is a power supply system diagram. Figure 5-1.
The MCU, Ethernet PHY, Wi-Fi/BLE module, etc., on the board operate on 3.3 V. A 3.3 V power supply is generated from the 5 V power supply by the ISL80030 on-chip regulator with FET. Refer to the www.renesas.com website for details of the ISL80030. Figure 5-3 shows the 3.3 V power supply circuit.
The board is provided with an emulator. The emulator connector (ECN1) has a USB Micro-B configuration, and it serves as an interface for the integrated development environment (IDE) and Renesas Flash Programmer (RFP). Use a USB cable to connect the board to your PC. When the host PC is powered on, power is supplied to the board via the USB cable connection.
RX72N Envision Kit User's Manual 5. User Circuits DIP Switches DIP switches SW1 and SW3 on the board are used to make a variety of settings. Figure 5-5 shows the locations of the DIP switches, and Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 list the settings of each switch. Figure 5-5.
