Introduction; Main Features Of 78K0/Fx2 - Can It - NEC 78K0/Fx2 User Manual

78K0/Fx2 – CAN it!

1. Introduction

78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! is a demonstration kit for the NEC's F_Line 78K0/Fx2 microcontroller family. It
supports On-Board debugging, FLASH programming and real time execution of application programs up
to 4 kBytes of program code for the 78K0/FF2 microcontroller. The board is prepared to be connected to
user hardware parts such as digital I/O or analogue signals.
1.1 Main features of 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it!
•
Easy to use device demonstration capabilities
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! contains elements to easily demonstrate simple I/O-functions, i.e. push buttons,
12*2 character LC display, LED output, AD reference voltage, I/O lines, UART serial interface, LIN
and CAN serial interfaces.
•
On-Board debug function
The 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! supports an On-Board debug function by using the IAR C-SPY debugger. It
allows FLASH downloading and standard debug functions i.e. code execution, single stepping,
breakpoints, memory manipulation etc.
•
Power supply via USB interface
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! is powered via USB interface, no separate power supply is needed.
•
Character LCD module
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! provides a 12*2 character LC display, allowing the implementation of human /
machine interfaces, comfortable input / output functions, output of measurement values, output of
status information etc.
•
FPL3, FLASH programming software
A windows based FLASH programming software allows to select and download application programs
to the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board for evaluation purposes.
•
Analogue to digital signal conversion is supported
•
Various input / output signals available, such as
° All I/O ports prepared to be connected to user hardware
° Timer input / output signals
° Two or three wire serial I/O
° UART interface, via USB UART chip FT232
° High Speed CAN bus interface with transceiver PCA82C250
° LIN bus support, via TJA 1020 transceiver
° 16 analogue input lines
° Temperature sensor KTY13-5
° 4 I/O ports connected to LED
° 2 push buttons prepared for external interrupt generation
•
The IAR Embedded Workbench for 78K0/78K0S and the IAR C-SPY debugger / simulator are
included. These packages are restricted in such that maximum program code size is limited to
4 kByte of program code.
•
Full documentation is included for the NEC 78K0/FF2 microcontroller, IAR Systems Embedded
Workbench, IAR Systems C-SPY debugger / simulator and the NEC FPL3 FLASH programming
software.
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! is not intended for code development. NEC does not allow and does not
support in any way any attempt to use 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! in a commercial or technical product.
