This symbol indicates an advanced tip for hardware or software designers to extract interesting or unique value from the Serious Integrated Module. Pay special attention to this note – items especially subject to change, or related to compatibility, functionality, and usage. -
Page 7: Introduction
The possibilities are endless: the SIM535 module contains not only a powerful MCU but also a suite of hardware features that are commonly needed in many designs. An alarm panel, for example, could be as simple as a SIM535 connected to another PCB with a $0.20 MCU, a few relays and a battery. -
Page 8: Hardware
-3.6 to 5.5V DC powered Within the SIM535 are numerous family members, or “variants”. Each variant has a slightly different set of features and price points for an OEM to select the appropriate feature/cost point for their specific application. -
Page 9: Getting Started
Powering from the 16-pin Power/Communications Connector All SIM535 development kits come with a 16 pin wire harness for prototyping that can connect in to the 16-pin Power/Communications Connector. An AC power adapter with fixed 5VDC@1A output or similar lab power supply can be connected to the power pins of this harness to power the SIM535. -

Page 13: Development Kits
The SIM535 is intended for GUI development with the Serious Human Interface™ Platform and has limited support from Renesas for C-level development, therefore the standard SIM535 development kit has no JTAG debugger included. Customers who which to do C/JTAG-level development will need a Tag-Connect TC2070 adapter cable and a Renesas E10 programmer/debugger. -
Page 14: Specifications
DC OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS MODULE LEVEL The following DC characteristics apply to all variants of the SIM535, and do not include LCD backlight power which must be added to the total depending on the LCD option selected: NOTE: All numbers in colored italics are pre-production estimates. -

Page 16: Environmental Characteristics
Do not expose to high temperature and/or high humidity testing with the protective sheet place. Slowly remove the protective sheet to minimize potential static electricity creation. RELEASE Revision B1 ©Serious Integrated, Inc. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. -
Page 17: Pressure And Impact
If cleaning of the LCD panel surface is necessary, Isopropyl or Ethyl alcohol, either 100% or mixed 50%/50% with distilled water, may be used on a moist clean soft cloth. Do not use abrasive, ketone-containing, and aromatic solvents which will damage polarizer materials. RELEASE Revision B1 ©Serious Integrated, Inc. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. Arrow.com. -
Page 18: Physical Characteristics
The outer dimensions of the SIM535 are 165mm x 123mm. Any connectors populated along the bottom edge may extend up to an additional 2mm beyond the 123mm of the PCB. The SIM is designed to be mounted using four M4 machine screws. -
Page 19: Daughter Card Physical Guidelines
SIM revisions. It is possible to create a single daughter card that can dock into numerous SIMs, including the SIM115, SIM231, and SIM535. Consult the respective Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) to validate a compatible footprint: there are slight differences in the physical and electrical characteristic for daughter cards across different SIMs. -
Page 20: Serious Communications Modules
Serious Communications/Power Module 117 (SCM117) family, for example, is a series of flexible and production-worthy communications and power conversion accessory boards for use with Serious Integrated Modules (SIMs). The SCM117 can dock directly into newer SIMs such as the SIM115, SIM231, and SIM535 forming a low profile and cost effective combination. - Page 21 Example SCM117 Docked into SIM535 v2.3 The SCM117 family has numerous members, or “variants”, implementing all or a subset of the following: RS232, RS422, RS485, and CAN transceivers Renesas RX111 MCU for local protocol translation and control DC-DC converter for powering the SCM and attached SIM from network-borne power ...

Page 23: On-Module Peripherals
ON-MODULE PERIPHERALS The SIM535 contains numerous on-module peripherals – many common to a vast and diverse set of OEM applications, including a Real Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC) (battery-backed on some modules), temperature sensor, USB device, USB host, boot Serial FLASH, high speed UART(s), EEPROM, bi-color indicator LED, a user “select” switch, and more. -

MODULE FEATURE DETAIL SIM535-A01 v2.0 Component Side View RENESAS SH7269 MCU At the heart of the SIM535 is a 266MHz 32-bit Renesas SH7269 MCU equipped with extensive analog and digital peripherals. Features include: MCU Core & Memory 266MHz 32-bit core with 16KB cache ... -
Page 26: Lcd Display
LCD DISPLAY The LCD display (or “glass”) on the SIM535 is a 7” diagonal active area 800x480 TFT with optional 4-wire resistive touch layer. Various LCD options are available for the SIM535; see Ordering Information for more details. The LCD display has no on-glass frame buffer or memory. The MCU is responsible for delivering pixel data at a specific frequency to the LCD display as well as various clock signals otherwise the display will not function correctly and will not display a stable image. -
Page 27: Proximity Sensing
Since the backlight on the SIM535’s LCD display can be very bright, especially in low ambient light environments, software may want to modulate the backlight brightness to improve readability as well as backlight LED longevity. The ALS is connected to an MCU analog input ( ) and the ambient light intensity can be derived from the ADC value. -

Page 31: Sdram
SDRAM The SIM535, depending on the variant, includes a Micron 32MB SDRAM or equivalent with a 16-bit data bus configuration. The SDRAM can operate at up to 133 MHz depending on the MCU core frequency. The MCU’s built-in SDRAM controller can be configured to enable this memory in random access or burst modes. -
Page 32: Eeprom
SD CARD SOCKET The SIM535 module has a full sized SD Card socket, suitable for use with FLASH cards and other low power type devices. Writing software and implementing hardware for use with SD Cards may require a license from the Association. -

Atmel ATSHA204 Data Sheet for programming and hardware information of the ATSHA204 device. PCB TEMPERATURE SENSING Some SIM535 variants also contain an On Semiconductor NCT75 or equivalent for measuring the system/PCB temperature. This sensor is excellent for keeping track of general system temperature, but is not an ambient air temperature sensor: accurate air temperature sensors require separation from the circuit board in order to isolate the sensor from heating sources on the board –... -
Page 35: Clocks, Oscillators, And Time Keeping
There are many producers and consumers of stable clock signals (or “clocks”) on the SIM535: 1) The SH7269 is driven a 13.33 MHz clock signal, which is internally in the MCU multiplied by 20 to yield a 266MHz CPU clock speed. -
Page 36: External Rtcc With Optional Battery Backup
RTC clock input mode. The variant can be determined at runtime by reading the variant information from the Serial FLASH. The MCU’s RTCC is not battery-backed: when system power is lost from the SIM535 (or the signal is asserted) PWRDWN# the MCU’s RTCC stops operation and timekeeping is lost. -
Page 37: I2S Inputs And Outputs
SHIPEngine has built-in audio support. With only a few lines of code you can, for instance, deliver an ADPCM .wav file to the I2S outputs. PIEZO SOUNDER Some SIM535 variants include a piezoelectric sounder suitable for notifications, alarms, etc. The sounder is activated by applying a frequency to the signal. The MCU can hardware-PWM this signal... -
Page 38: User Pushbutton Switch And Leds
Some SIM535 variants have a bi-color (red/green) LED located on front of the display-side of the module. A bi-color LED is actually two independent LEDs in one package: the LED on the SIM535 has red and green LEDs that, when both are on, have an amber hue. -
