Preface

The SAME51J20A Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit (EV76S68A) is a hardware platform used to evaluate the
®
SAME51J20A microcontroller (MCU), and it is supported by the MPLAB
X Integrated Development Environment
(IDE). The evaluation kit provides easy access to the features of the SAME51J20A to integrate the device into a
custom design. The Curiosity Nano series of evaluation kits includes an On-Board Nano Debugger, therefore no
external tools are necessary to program the SAME51J20A device. The SAME51J20A Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit
is shown in the following figure.

    A maximum of 10 μA can be drawn from the VTG net and an additional 2 μA can be drawn from each I/O pin connected to a level shifter for a total of 20 μA. Disconnect the on-board debugger and level shifters as described in Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger to prevent any leakage. User Guide DS70005432A-page 10 © 2020 Microchip Technology Inc.
