Precautions This Renesas Synergy Development Kit is only intended for use in a laboratory environment under ambient temperature and humidity conditions. A safe separation distance should be used between this and any sensitive equipment. Its use outside the laboratory, classroom, study area or similar such area invalidates conformity with the protection requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and could lead to prosecution.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Purpose The DK-S3A7 is a development kit for the Renesas Synergy S3A7 microcontroller in a LQFP144 package. It contains two boards: the Main Board and the Breakout Board. The boards together provide easy-to-access interfaces and connectors for all peripherals of the S3A7 microcontroller for application development. The Main Board can be used without the Breakout Board as a compact, stand-alone development board.

DK-S3A7 User’s Manual Power Supplies > Power supply > Power Chapter 3 Power Supplies 3.1 Power supply Power is supplied to the DK-S3A7 through a barrel connector on the Main Board using a 5-V/2.5-A, wall-mounted power supply. When +5 V is applied to J1, a green LED (LED3) illuminates on the main board. The DK-S3A7 Main Board includes a backup battery for powering the Realtime Clock (RTC) when no external power is supplied.
DK-S3A7 User’s Manual Power Supplies > Battery current > Power 3.5 Battery current You can monitor the VBAT current by measuring the voltage drop across the 1-kΩ resistor R41 using pins 2 and 3 of connector J23. In this setting, the voltage drop indicates the current consumption of the S3A7 microcontroller when the microcontroller is powered by the on-board coin cell battery.
DK-S3A7 User’s Manual Components > Peripheral devices > Power 4.4 Peripheral devices • EEPROM (U108) – Device: OnSemi CAT24C64 – 8-KB CMOS serial EEPROM device, internally organized as 8192 words of 8 bits each.
