For details on the clock circuit of this product, refer to the circuit schematics of the RL78/G16 Fast Prototyping Board. Table 5-8 shows the details of the clocks on the RL78/G16 Fast Prototyping Board.
Table 5-8 Details of Clocks

Note: Use the main system clock by cutting the patterns for cutting [SS01] and [SS02] and short-circuiting the shortcircuit pads [SC01] and [SC02]. Note that the main system clock cannot be used at the same time as the subclock.

Reset Switch

Pressing the reset switch (RST) applies a hardware reset to the evaluation MCU.

User Switch

An optional user switch (SW) is mounted. It is connected to pin 4 of the evaluation MCU, which operates as pin function P137. The INTP0 interrupt is multiplexed on the same pin.

USB-to-Serial Converter and COM Port Debugging

A USB-to-serial converter (FT232RQ) from FTDI is mounted on the board and is usable with the standard driver of Windows 10. For other operating systems, install the driver by downloading from the following Web site of FTDI.
https://www.ftdichip.com/
DRIVERS > VCP Drivers
The USB-to-serial converter reset header (J13) is open-circuit; it is recognized as a COM port when the host PC is connected to this board via a USB cable.
As the interface with the RL78 COM port debug tool, the USB-to-serial converter enables debugging and programming of the evaluation MCU. Refer to Chapter "Developing Code". Note that the P40, P01, and P00 pins of the evaluation MCU are respectively occupied as the TOOL0, TOOLRxD, and TOOLTxD functions.
When the RL78 COM port debug tool is in use, use of the P125/RESET pin as the P125 port pin is prohibited. Do not make the option byte setting for using P125.
If P125 is mistakenly set, COM port debugging and writing will become unavailable. If you are unable to use COM port debugging or writing, please recover by erasing the program using an E2 emulator or E2 emulator Lite connection, or by using the 'COM Port Connection Recovery Application for Fast Prototyping Board' (R01AN7363).
For the method of COM port debugging, refer to the application note, RL78 Debugging Functions Using the Serial Port (R20AN0632).
When the USB-to-serial converter is not used as the interface with the RL78 COM port debug tool, using the RxD0 and TxD0 functions of the P01 and P00 pins enables UART communications between the host PC and the evaluation MCU. The user needs to prepare the terminal software, such as TeraTerm.

USB-to-Serial Converter Reset Header

The USB-to-serial converter is placed in the forced reset state by short-circuiting its reset header (J13). If the evaluation MCU alone is to operate without the use of the RL78 COM port debug tool, place the USB-to-serial converter in the reset state. This allows the use of P01 (RxD0) and P00 (TxD0) as facilities other than for a UART, such as port pins, while a reset is being applied to the USB-to-serial converter. Even if P11 and P12 are used as facilities other than for a UART, such as port pins, the board must be connected to the host PC by using the USB cable. Figure 5-4 shows the position of the USB-to-serial converter reset header.

Power-Supply Selection Header

The operating power (VDD) of the evaluation MCU can be changed to supply from the emulator or external power, and to 5 V or 3.3 V with the use of a header (J15). Only change the jumper setting of J15 while power is not being supplied.

• 1-2 of J15 being short-circuit selects a 5-V power supply. This is the default setting as shipped.
  
• 2-3 of J15 being short-circuit selects a 3.3-V power supply.
  
• J15 being open-circuit selects supply from the emulator or external power.
  

External Power Supply

When the evaluation MCU is to have a desired power-supply voltage, or when more current is required, use an external power supply. The usable voltages depend on the evaluation MCU.
Destinations for the connection of an external power supply:

• VDD: pin J16-1 on the external power-supply header
• VSS: pin J16-2 on the external power-supply header

Figure 5-8 shows the positions of the external power supply.
When an external power supply is used, confirm that the I/O voltages for Arduino^® shields, Pmod™ modules, or Grove modules are correct.

Current Measurement Header

This header (J9) is used to measure the current drawn by the evaluation MCU (J9 header components are not mounted). Connecting an ammeter to this product enables measurement of the current being drawn by the evaluation MCU. Take care to cut the given pattern for cutting (SS18) if this header is to be used. Figure 5-9 shows the positions of the current measurement header and pattern for cutting.

Insert an ammeter between the sockets of the current measurement header (J9) to measure the current. Cut the pattern for cutting (SS18) (Figure 5-11) and turn down the LED to reduce the current drawn with an MCU other than the evaluation MCU.
Figure 5-10 is a block diagram of the power-supply lines related to the measurement of current drawn. For a block diagram of the power-supply circuit as a whole, refer to Figure 6-2.

Pattern for Cutting the I/O Power Supply for the USB-to-Serial Converter

If you intend to use this board without connecting a USB connector, cut the given pattern for cutting (SS14). Figure 5-11 shows the position of the pattern for cutting.

Emulator Connector

This 14-pin connector (J8) is used to connect this product to an on-chip debugging E2 emulator or E2 emulator Lite, from Renesas Electronics, incorporating programming facilities. The emulator is used for programming or debugging the evaluation MCU.
To connect the emulator, change the circuit as follows.

• J8: 14-pin connector must be mounted
• J10, J11, and J12: pins 2-3 are short-circuit
• Pattern for cutting [SS28]: cut
• Pattern for cutting [SS29]: cut
• Pattern for cutting [SS30]: cut

For the usage of the emulator, refer to the E1/E20/E2 Emulator, E2 emulator Lite Additional Document for User's Manual (Notes on Connection of RL78) (R20UT1994).
If you use COM port debugging with the use of the USB-to-serial converter, make the following change to settings as follows.

• J10, J11, and J12: pins 1-2 are short-circuit
  

Handling Precautions

Power to be Supplied

When power is supplied to this product from an emulator or through the USB, note that the total current of VDD, 5 V, and 3.3 V should not exceed the maximum current of 200 mA.

Remodeling the Board

Any modification of the board (including cutting the patterns for cutting) shall be conducted at the user's own responsibility.
The following shows the settings of jumpers as shipped.

• J13: open-circuit
• J14: short-circuit
• J15: pins 1-2 are short-circuit

In this document, "short-circuit pads" refers to pairs of pads for short-circuiting by solder.
"Pattern for cutting" refers to a narrow signal pattern in the middle part between two short-circuit pads. When you cut the pattern for cutting, do not cut over the silkscreened frame of a white ellipse.

In some cases, a pattern for cutting may not be visible because it has been covered with coating of a resist. Also refer to the circuit schematics.
In the circuit schematics, the symbol below indicates that there is a pattern for cutting between short-circuit pads.

In the circuit schematics, the symbol below indicates that there are only short-circuit pads without any pattern for cutting.

Table 6-1 Power-Supply Sources and Usage Conditions

Notes:

1. Connecting the RL78/G16 Fast Prototyping Board to an Arduino^® shield, a Pmod™ module, or a Grove module shall be conducted at the user's own responsibility and should only proceed after confirming the specifications of the power supply and interfaces. When an Arduino^® shield requires the supply of 5-V or 3.3-V power, connect the host PC to this board via the USB cable.
2. Requirements for modifications after shipment are stated in this column.
3. Use the IDE in a state where power is being supplied from a source other than the emulator.
4. If power to be supplied to this product other than via the USB, cut the pattern for cutting (SS14).

Note on Using QE for Capacitive Touch

When you are using QE for Capacitive Touch (QE) with this product, change the circuits in the following cases (1) and (2).
For the methods for developing touch applications with the use of QE in the RL78/G16 MCU, refer to the application note "RL78 Family Using the standalone version of QE to Develop Capacitive Touch Applications" (R01AN6574).

1. Usage with the serial connection function of QE
   When the serial connection function of QE is to be used (serial communications via QE between the host PC and the USB connector on the board of this product), modify the J14 jumper block for switching the QE serial connection as follows.
   • J14: open-circuit
     
     Note: When the circuit is configured for the case "(1) Usage with the serial connection function of QE" above, the following form of usage is not available with QE.
     • Debugging or programming through COM port debugging
2. Not using the serial connection function of QE
   After the changes to the circuit have been made as described under "(1) Usage with the serial connection function of QE", if you want to restore the settings to those for COM port debugging (including the case of the usage described under note above), make the following change of setting as follows.
   • J14: short-circuit
     

Note on Using P00/TxD0

When the power is turned on or immediately after release from resetting of the USB-to-serial converter of this product, if a user program which starts the output of the UART transmission to the P00/TxD0 line is written to the target MCU before the host PC recognizes the USB-to-serial converter as the COM port, the operation of the USB-to-serial converter may be unstable and prevent connection to the Renesas Flash Programmer or terminal software.
In such cases, turn on the power (connect the USB cable) while pressing the reset switch, wait about 3 seconds until the host PC recognizes the USB-to-serial converter as the COM port, and release the reset switch. Otherwise, reset the USB-to-serial converter (by briefly short-circuiting J13 and then restored it to open-circuit) while pressing the reset switch, wait about 3 seconds until the host PC recognizes the USB-toserial converter as the COM port, and release the reset switch.
Finally, erase the user program by using the Renesas Flash Programmer.

General Precautions in the Handling of Microprocessing Unit and Microcontroller Unit Products

The following usage notes are applicable to all Microprocessing unit and Microcontroller unit products from Renesas. For detailed usage notes on the products covered by this document, refer to the relevant sections of the document as well as any technical updates that have been issued for the products.

1. Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
   A strong electrical field, when exposed to a CMOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop the generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it when it occurs. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, a humidifier should be used. This is recommended to avoid using insulators that can easily build up static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work benches and floors must be grounded. The operator must also be grounded using a wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions must be taken for printed circuit boards with mounted semiconductor devices.
2. Processing at power-on
   The state of the product is undefined at the time when power is supplied. The states of internal circuits in the LSI are indeterminate and the states of register settings and pins are undefined at the time when power is supplied. In a finished product where the reset signal is applied to the external reset pin, the states of pins are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the reset process is completed. In a similar way, the states of pins in a product that is reset by an on-chip power-on reset function are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the power reaches the level at which resetting is specified.
3. Input of signal during power-off state
   Do not input signals or an I/O pull-up power supply while the device is powered off. The current injection that results from input of such a signal or I/O pull-up power supply may cause malfunction and the abnormal current that passes in the device at this time may cause degradation of internal elements. Follow the guideline for input signal during power-off state as described in your product documentation.
4. Handling of unused pins
   Handle unused pins in accordance with the directions given under handling of unused pins in the manual. The input pins of CMOS products are generally in the high-impedance state. In operation with an unused pin in the open-circuit state, extra electromagnetic noise is induced in the vicinity of the LSI, an associated shoot-through current flows internally, and malfunctions occur due to the false recognition of the pin state as an input signal become possible.
5. Clock signals
   After applying a reset, only release the reset line after the operating clock signal becomes stable. When switching the clock signal during program execution, wait until the target clock signal is stabilized. When the clock signal is generated with an external resonator or from an external oscillator during a reset, ensure that the reset line is only released after full stabilization of the clock signal. Additionally, when switching to a clock signal produced with an external resonator or by an external oscillator while program execution is in progress, wait until the target clock signal is stable.
6. Voltage application waveform at input pin
   Waveform distortion due to input noise or a reflected wave may cause malfunction. If the input of the CMOS device stays in the area between V_IL (Max.) and V_IH (Min.) due to noise, for example, the device may malfunction. Take care to prevent chattering noise from entering the device when the input level is fixed, and also in the transition period when the input level passes through the area between V_IL (Max.) and V_IH (Min.).
7. Prohibition of access to reserved addresses
   Access to reserved addresses is prohibited. The reserved addresses are provided for possible future expansion of functions. Do not access these addresses as the correct operation of the LSI is not guaranteed.
8. Differences between products
   Before changing from one product to another, for example to a product with a different part number, confirm that the change will not lead to problems. The characteristics of a microprocessing unit or microcontroller unit products in the same group but having a different part number might differ in terms of internal memory capacity, layout pattern, and other factors, which can affect the ranges of electrical characteristics, such as characteristic values, operating margins, immunity to noise, and amount of radiated noise. When changing to a product with a different part number, implement a systemevaluation test for the given product.
