Introduction

The Atmel®AVR®STK®521 kit is made of the Atmel AVR STK521 board.

The STK521 board is a top module for the Atmel STK500 development board from Atmel Corporation. It

is designed to support the Atmel AT90PWM81, Atmel AT90PWM161 products and future compatible

derivatives.

The STK521 includes connectors and hardware allowing full utilization of the new features of the

AT90PWM81/161, while the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket allows easy to use of SOIC20 package for

prototyping.

This user guide acts as a general getting started guide as well as a complete technical reference for

advanced users.

Note that in this guide, the word AVR is used to refer to the target components (AT90PWM81/161).

AT90PWM81 will be also used to refer to one of the products from this family.

Using the STK521 Top Module

2.1 Connecting the Atmel STK521 to the Atmel STK500 Starter Kit

Connect the STK521 to the STK500 expansion header 0 and 1. It is important that the top module is con-

nected in the correct orientation as shown in Figure 2-1. The EXPAND0 written on the STK521 top

module should match the EXPAND0 written beside the expansion header on the STK500 board.

Figure 2-1. Connecting STK521 to the STK500 Board.

Note: Connecting the STK521 with wrong orientation may damage the board.

2.1.1 Placing an Atmel AT90PWM81 on the Atmel STK521

The STK521 contains a ZIF socket for a SOIC20 package. Care should be taken so that the device is

mounted with the correct orientation. Figure 2-2 shows the location of pin1 for the ZIF socket.

Figure 2-2. Pin1 on ZIF Socket.

Caution: Do not mount an Atmel AT90PWM81 on the STK521 at the same time as an AVR is mounted

on the STK500 board. None of the devices might work as intended.

2.2 Powering the STK521

The STK521 can be powered as follows :

1. Through the STK500 by selecting POWER switch to VTG.

2. Through an external power supply using the jack connector and selecting POWER switch to

VEXT.

In this latter case, power supply must be 10V DC for a 5V device power supply.

2.3 Programming the AVR

The Atmel AT90PWM81 can be programmed using both serial SPI and high-voltage parallel program-

ming. This section will explain how to connect the programming cables to successfully use one of these

two modes. The Atmel AVR Studio STK500 software is used in the same way as for other AVR parts.

Note: The AT90PWM81 also supports Self Programming, see the Atmel AVR109 application note for

more information on this topic.

2.3.1 Serial in-system programming

Figure 2-3. Serial in-system programming.

To program the AT90PWM81 using ISP programming mode, connect the 6-wire cable between the

ISP6PIN connector on the Atmel STK500 board and the ISP connector on the Atmel STK521 board as

shown in Figure 2-3. The device can be programmed using the Serial Programming mode in the AVR

Studio 4 STK500 software.

8194B–AVR–01/12

The Atmel STK500 and STK521 jumpers must be configured as follows :

Table 2-1. In-System programming jumper settings for the Atmel AT90PWM81.

Note: See the Atmel STK500 User Guide for information on how to use the STK500 front-end software

for ISP Programming.

To program the AVR using high-voltage (parallel) programming, connect the PROG_CTRL of the Atmel

STK500 to PRG_CTRL of the Atmel STK521 and PROG_DATA of STK500 to PRG_DATA of STK521

as shown in Figure 2-4. Make sure that the CLOCK switch is placed in the STK500 position.

The STK500 and STK521 jumpers & switches must must be configured as follows :

Table 2-2. High-Voltage programming jumper settings for the Atmel AT90PWM81.

Table 2-3. High-voltage programming switches settings for AT90PWM81.

The device can now be programmed using the high-voltage programming mode in the Atmel AVR Studio

STK500 software.

Note: See the Atmel STK500 User Guide for information on how to use the STK500 front-end software

in high-voltage programming mode.

For the high-voltage programming mode to function correctly, the target voltage must be higher

than 4.5V.

2.4 Atmel AVR JTAGICE mkII Connector

See the following document :

“JTAGICE mkII Quick Start Guide” which purpose is “Connecting to a target board with the AVR

JTAGICE mkII”.

This note explains which signals are required for ISP and which signals are required for debugWIRE.

Figure 2-5 shows how to connect the Atmel AVR JTAGICE mkII probe on the STK521 board.

Figure 2-5. Connecting the Atmel AVR JTAGICE mkII to the Atmel STK521.

The ISP connector is used for the Atmel AT90PWM81 built-in debugWire interface. The pin out of the

connector is shown in Table 2-4 and is compliant with the pin out of the JTAG ICE available from Atmel.

Connecting a JTAGICE mkII to this connector allows on-chip debugging of the AT90PWM81.

More information about the JTAGICE mkII and on-chip debugging can be found in the Atmel AVR

JTAGICE mkII User Guide, which is available at the Atmel web site, www.atmel.com.

Note: Remove the RESET jumper on the Atmel STK500 to work run properly JTAGICE mkII.

Note: MISO, MOSI, and SCK lines can be disconnected when the product is in debugging mode. They

can then be used for application purpose.
