Standby mode: the crystal/resonator oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with low power consumption. The Atmel ATA6624, included in the Atmel ATA6612 and the Atmel ATA6613, as well as the Atmel ATA6630 included in the Atmel ATA6614, provide the following features: ●...

LIN communication. Please note that the Atmel ATA6630 inside the Atmel ATA6614 signals the wake up source in a different way as the Atmel ATA6624 inside the Atmel ATA6612 and the Atmel ATA6613. Additionally the Atmel ATA6630 also signals a V...
® The development board for the Atmel ATA6612, Atmel ATA6613 and the Atmel ATA6614 is shipped with the default jumper settings and all accessories required for immediate use. The IC mounted on the board is pre-programmed with a firmware in order to test and to understand the basic functions directly on the board.

Figure 2-1. Atmel ATA6612/ATA6613/ATA6614-EK Board Overview The board's pre-programmed firmware provides the window watchdog with a valid trigger signal so that the NRES pin is not forced to Ground and the microcontroller does not receive any resets. For testing purposes and for understanding the system, it can be helpful to see the behavior when the watchdog is not triggered correctly.
Voltage Regulator (PVCC and VCC) ® The internal 5V voltage regulator is capable of driving loads with up to 85mA current consumption. Therefore, the Atmel ATA6612, the Atmel ATA6613 and the Atmel ATA6614 are able to supply the internal microcontroller, some external sensors, and/or other ICs required for the particular LIN node.

In general, the Atmel ATA6612, ATA6613 and ATA6614 are shipped with an oscillator start-up time of 65ms. Due to the extra-long lead time of 155ms it should be possible in almost all cases to meet the first open window of the watchdog. If more time is needed, the default start-up time of the microcontroller 65ms can be reduced via the fuse bits to 4.1ms or even 0ms.

As the ADC6 as well as the ADC7 can only be used for converting analog signals to digital values, and there is no analog ® output from the Atmel ATA6612, the Atmel ATA6613 and the Atmel ATA6614 to measure, these two input pins have been led off the board in order to be externally connected if required. 3.1.7 WAKE (LIN SBC) The high-voltage input pin WAKE can be used to generate a low-active local wake-up from sleep mode or silent mode.
Port Connectors The Atmel ATA6612/ATA6613/ATA6614-EK has three port connectors for the microcontroller ports PortB, PortC and PortD. All non-reserved I/O pins available from the microcontroller are routed to the corresponding connectors to give the user easy access to them.
Figure 3-2. Pinout of the Port Connectors Jumper Description In order to be more flexible and to meet as many requirements as possible, some jumpers are provided on the development board. With the help of these jumpers, users have the opportunity to engage with the system itself in order to test some features and/or to adapt the system to their requirements.
The difference regarding the hardware between a master node and a slave node is the additional diode D together ser_master with a serial 1k resistor between V and the LIN line. The placeholders for these two components D2 and R1 on the Atmel ATA6612/ATA6613/ATA6614 [APPLICATION NOTE] 9127E–AUTO–03/15...

For cases in which the accuracy of the internal RC-oscillator is not sufficient to meet the application-specific requirements, ® an external crystal oscillator plus the two capacitors can be mounted on the Atmel ATA6612/ATA6613/ATA6614-EK. The location of these placeholders is shown in Figure 3-5.
