1. ATSAMC21 Microcontroller Card for Atmel Motor Control Starter Kit
The ATSAMC21J18A is an MCU card for Atmel® Motor control starter kits. The hardware has the Atmel |
SMART ARM®-based MCU, ATSAMC21J18A, with integrated on-board debug support. The MCU card
can be directly used with the ATSAMBLDCHV-STK® high voltage motor control kit and the currently
available ATSAMD21BLDC24V-STK, a low voltage BLDC, PMSM motor control starter kit. The kit
contains a driver board hardware with half-bridge power MOSFET drivers, current and voltage sensing
circuit, Hall, and Encoder interface, fault protection circuits, etc. Supported by the Atmel studio integrated
development platform, the kit provides easy access to the features of ATSAMC21J18A MCU and explains
how to integrate the device in a custom motor control application. Plug-able MCU cards are available
from Atmel, supporting other SMART ARM MCUs.

3. ATSAMC21MOTOR Kit Content
ATSAMC21MOTOR Kit contains an ATSAMC21J18A MCU card that is pre-programmed with hall sensor
based block commutation firmware for the ATSAMD21BLDC24V-STK setup. A quick start guide can be
found in the ATSAMBLDC24V-STK User quide for Atmel Low voltage BLDC motor control kit. A nylon
snap lock is attached to the MCU card that can be rotated to attach the card to the Driver base board in
ATSAMD21BLDC24V-STK.

5. ATSAMC21J18A MCU Board
The main components on the ATSAMC21MOTOR MCU card are highlighted in the PCB and in the block
diagram given below.

Figure 5-2. MCU Board Block Diagram
5.1. Power Supply
The ATSAMC21J18A MCU takes 5VDC supply from the 67-pin edge connector. The EDBG debug MCU
operates on a 3.3VDC supply from the same edge connector. The power supply selection jumper on the
Driver board (ATSAMBLDCHV-STK and ATSAMBLDC24V-STK) should be connected to 5V (silk screen
text) selection.
5.2. Main MCU Circuit
The ATSAMC21MOTOR has an ATSAMC21 device. The device is intended to work with the MCU internal
clock source. An external reset switch is connected to the MCU RESET pin.
5.3. Embedded Debugger
The ATSAMC21J18A MCU is interfaced to the EDBG debug device. The EDBG uses SWD interface for
programming and debugging the main MCU. A debug header is also provided on the MCU board with
ARM Cortex® debug pinout. An external debugger can be connected to this debug port.
The DGI is a proprietary communication interface used by the Atmel Data Visualizer software to
communicate with the development kits through the EDBG. The SERCOM5 of the ATSAMC21J18A
connected to the EDBG device, supports the DGI SPI interface and uses the Atmel ADP protocol. The
MCU SERCOM5 is also connected to the UART channel of the EDBG through a pair of "normally open"
jumpers; J201 and J202. Shorting these jumpers will enable the CDC UART interface for the main MCU.
High Speed USB port of the EDBG is accessible at the driver board. EDBG USB enumerates as a
composite device supporting debug, DGI SPI, and CDC interfaces.
5.4. 67-pin MCU-DRIVER Board Interface
MCU pins are connected to the 67-pin interface header as given in the table below. The MCU card can be
used with the Motor control driver kits from Atmel. The table given below describes the interface with
Atmel low voltage motor control starter kit. Signals indicated by "||" are jumper connected pins that share
directly connected functionality. The normally-open jumper needs to be shorted in the PCB in order to
access these additional features.
