The ATtiny3217 device is programmed and debugged by the on-board embedded debugger and, therefore, no external programmer or debugger tool is required. Design Documentation and Relevant Links The following list contains links to the most relevant documents and software for the ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro. • Xplained Products - Xplained Evaluation Kits are a series of easy-to-use evaluation kits for Microchip microcontrollers and other Microchip products.
DGI. The EDBG controls two LEDs on the ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro; a power LED and a status LED. The following table provides details on how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes.
ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro Xplained Pro Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM) 3.2.1 Overview The Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM) extends the embedded debugger with a high dynamic range current measurement. This enables power profiling of the target system. Figure 3-1. XAM Block Diagram...
ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro Xplained Pro • Reference clock: Reference clock for the XAM. 3.2.3 Sample Rate The raw sampling rate of the XAM is up to 250 kHz, and with the default averaging configuration (average of 16 samples), the actual output of the XAM is 16.67 ksps.
3600 Maximum current [mA] uint16_t Power Sources The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro kit can be powered by several power sources, as listed in the following table. Table 3-4. Power Sources for ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro Power Source Voltage Requirements Current Requirements Connector Marking External power 5V ±2% (±100 mV) for USB...
Xplained Pro Power Header The power header can be used to connect external power to the ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro kit. The kit automatically detects and switches to an external power source, if supplied. The power header can also be used to supply power to external peripherals or extension boards.
Power Distribution ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro has two power sources; EDBG USB and external 5.0V. The kit will automatically select the power source. The kit has two on-board 3.3V voltage regulators; one for the EDBG and XAM, and one for the ATtiny3217 and other peripherals.
Xplained Pro Standard Extension Headers The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro headers EXT1 and EXT3 offer access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board, e.g., by connecting extensions to the board. These headers are based on the standard extension header specified in the table below.
Note: Signal functions in italic use alternative pin location. These have to be configured in the PORTMUX register of the device. 4.2.2 UPDI Debug Connector ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro has a 10-pin 50-mil UPDI Debug Connector that can be used to attach external debuggers to the ATtiny3217. Table 4-3. UPDI Debug Connector UPDI Debug Connector...
Microchip. There is a 9 pF, 32.768 kHz crystal in a 3.2 mm by 1.5 mm package mounted on ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro. Info: The crystal is not connected to the device by default, as the crystal pins on the device are shared with the UART module.
EXT1 Embedded Debugger Implementation The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG), which can be used to program and debug the ATtiny3217 using Unified Program Debug Interface (UPDI). The Embedded Debugger also includes a Virtual COM Port interface over UART, a Data Gateway Interface over SPI, I C, and two ATtiny3217 GPIOs.
XAM Configuration On the ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro, the MCU and the MCU peripherals (e.g., extensions) are powered by their own regulator, as shown in the figure below. All the other parts of the board, mainly the embedded debugger and the accompanying Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM), are powered from a separate regulator.
XAM. Place both jumpers on the “I/O” and “MCU” headers in the “MEASURE” position. Kit Modifications ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro has several resistors that can be used to disconnect I/O pins of the ATtiny3217 from connectors and on-board ICs and to disconnect power signals.

Connecting the 32.768 kHz Crystal The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro board has a 32.768 kHz crystal mounted on the kit. The crystal is not connected by default as the TOSC pins on the device are used for UART communication to the extension headers and the EDBG CDC.
