4.1. System Clock Sources

The

C8051F300

device installed on the target board features a calibrated programmable internal oscillator which is

enabled as the system clock source on reset. After reset, the internal oscillator operates at a frequency of

3.0625 MHz (+/-2%) by default but may be configured by software to operate at other frequencies. Therefore, in

many applications an external oscillator is not required. However, if you wish to operate the C8051F300 device at a

frequency not available with the internal oscillator, an external crystal may be used. Refer to the

C8051F30x

data

sheet for more information on configuring the system clock source.

The target board is designed to facilitate the installation of an external crystal. Remove resistors R7 and R8 and

install the crystal at the pads marked Y1. Install a 10 Mresistor at R9 and install capacitors at C14 and C15 using

values appropriate for the crystal you select. Refer to the C8051F30x data sheet for more information on the use of

external oscillators.

4.2. Switches and LEDs

Two switches are provided on the target board. Switch SW1 is connected to the RESET pin of the C8051F300.

Pressing SW1 puts the device into its hardware-reset state. Switch SW2 is connected to the C8051F300’s general

purpose I/O (GPIO) pin through headers. Pressing SW2 generates a logic low signal on the port pin. Remove the

shorting block from the header to disconnect SW2 from the port pins. The port pin signal is also routed to a pin on

the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to each switch.

Two LEDs are also provided on the target board. The red LED labeled PWR is used to indicate a power connection

to the target board. The green LED labeled with a port pin name is connected to the C8051F300’s GPIO pin

through headers. Remove the shorting block from the header to disconnect the LED from the port pin. The port pin

signal is also routed to a pin on the J1 I/O connector. See Table 1 for the port pins and headers corresponding to

each LED.

4.3. Expansion I/O Connector (J1)

The

-pin Expansion I/O connector J1 provides access to all signal pins of the C8051F300 device. Pins for +3V, dig-

ital ground and the output of an on-board low-pass filter are also available. A small through-hole prototyping area is

also provided. All I/O signals routed to connector J1 are also routed to through-hole connection points between J1

and the prototyping area (see

Figure 4 on page 6

). Each connection point is labeled indicating the signal available at

the connection point. See Table 2 for a list of pin descriptions for J1.

4.4. Target Board DEBUG Interface (J4)

4.5. Serial Interface (J5)

A RS232 transceiver circuit and DB-9 (J5) connector are provided on the target board to facilitate serial connec-

tions to UART0 of the C8051F300. The TX, RX, RTS and CTS signals of UART0 may be connected to the DB-9

connector and transceiver by installing shorting blocks on headers J3.

J3[5–6]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 TX (P0.4) to transceiver.

J3[7–8]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RX (P0.5) to transceiver.

J3[9–10]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 RTS (P0.2) to transceiver.

J3[11–12]- Install shorting block to connect UART0 CTS (P0.3) to transceiver.

4.6. Analog I/O (J6)

Several of the C8051F300 target device’s port pins are connected to the J6 terminal block. Refer to Table 4 for the

J6 terminal block connections. Install a shorting block on J7[2-3] to connect the AIN6 input to the P0.6 pin of the

target device.

4.7. Low-Pass Filter (J7)

The C8051F300 target board features a low-pass filter that may be connected to port pin P0.6. Install a shorting

block on J7[1-2] to connect the P0.6 pin of the target device to the low-pass filter input. The output of the low-pass

filter is routed to the PWM signal at J1[2]. The C8051F300 may be programmed to generate a PWM (Pulse-Width

Modulated) waveform which is then input to the low-pass filter to implement a user-controlled PWM digital-to-ana-

log converter. Refer to Applications Note “AN107: Implementing 16-Bit PWM Using the PCA” in the “documenta-

tion” directory on the CD-ROM for a discussion on generating a programmable dc voltage level with a PWM

waveform and low-pass filter.
