V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 1. Introduction The V850E2/Fx4 Application Board serves as a simple and easy to use platform for evaluating the features and performance of Renesas Electronics’ 32-bit V850E2/Fx4™ microcontrollers. The Main Board (AB-050-FX4-MB-x-x-xxx-V2) can be used as a standalone board, or can be mated with one of several Piggyback Boards (AB-050-FX4-PB-x-x-xxx-V2) for extended functionality.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 2. Board Overview Figure 1 provides a top level view of the Main Board. Highlighted in the image are several areas of functionality. Blue: Microcontroller Area Red: Power Supply Area Green: Functional Areas These areas are described in detail in the following sections.
The Main Board provides a multi-QFP footprint that allows for the soldering of any of the Fx4 microcontroller package sizes. Caution: Refer to the pinout information in the V850E2/Fx4 User’s Manual to determine the appropriate Pin Interface connections for each package size.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual Standard size surface mount pads are also provided. These pads can be populated with standard resistors, capacitors or jumpers to connect the microcontroller I/O pin to ground or one of two voltage rails: VDDA or VDDB. For further details regarding the voltage rails, refer to section 4.3.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 4. Power Supply Area The power supply area includes multiple connectors for providing a variety of power supply options to the Main Board and Piggyback Boards. On board voltage regulators are available to regulate the board’s DC input voltage to the levels required for the integrated circuits. To provide flexible prototyping capabilities, the voltage regulator outputs and IC voltage rails are selectable.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual supply voltages required for the integrated circuits. If desired, connector CN7 and/or connector CN8 can be used to supply the IC voltage rails directly. In order to achieve LIN or FlexRay bus communication it is necessary to supply VBAT. This supply is used directly by the LIN and FlexRay transceivers, and can be used to generate the 5 volt supply voltage required by the FlexRay transceiver.
Voltage Rail Selections 4.4 External Power Transistor The M2 version of V850E2/Fx4 microcontrollers is capable of controlling an external power transistor to regulate its core logic voltage. Transistor Q1 is provided for use with M2 version microcontrollers. Jumper J4 can be used to connect the control signal and core logic voltage rail (PT_CVDD).
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 5. Functional Areas The functional areas provide various circuits and components useful for interacting with the microcontroller’s I/O. All microcontroller I/O signals provided to the functional area circuits are connector via jumpers. This allows for isolation of the microcontroller, as well as the opportunity to substitute signals other than the microcontroller I/O routed on the board.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 5.1 LEDs Four LEDs, D8 to D11, are provided to allow visual observation of microcontroller output port states. The LEDs are connected to the microcontroller via jumper J52. The LED signals are active high. J52 Setting Device Port 1 –...
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual Potentiometers R149 and R150 are provided to generate analog voltages to the microcontroller’s analog inputs. The potentiometers are connected to the microcontroller via jumper J54. By adjusting the potentiometer screws, a voltage between GND and VDDIOF can be created.

V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 5.6 LIN Interfaces LIN transceivers, IC13 to IC18, are supplied to provide up to 6 LIN bus interfaces. Each transceiver can be selectively connected to one of the microcontroller’s LIN capable UART interfaces (URTE) via jumpers J17 to J34. The LIN bus interfaces are connected to the DB9 connectors CN13 to CN15 via jumpers J41 to J46.
Renesas PG-FP4 and PG-FP5 flash programmers, or the Renesas MINICUBE2 debugger. Connector CN21 is a 20 pin, 0.1” pin pitch connector. The pinout of this connector allows the connection of the Renesas MINICUBE debugger.
V850E2/Fx4 Application Board User's Manual 6. Precautions 6.1 Limitation of URTE2 for LIN communication URTE2 cannot be used for LIN communication. The URTE2RX pin is multiplexed with the FLMD1 function, and requires pull-down resistor R60. The RXD pin of the LIN transceiver is an open- drain output, and requires pull-up resistor R107.
