The chip select signals NCS0 and NCS1 are used for PSRAM and NAND Flash chips selection, respectively. Furthermore, a dedicated jumper can disconnect these from the memories, to let NCS0 and NCS1
be used for other custom purpose.
4.3.3
Clock Circuitry
The clock generator of a SAM3U4E microcontroller is made up of:
A Low Power 32,768 Hz Slow Clock Oscillator with bypass mode
A 3 to 20 MHz Crystal Oscillator, which can be bypassed (12 MHz needed in case of USB)
A factory programmed fast internal RC Oscillator. 3 output frequencies can be selected: 4, 8 or

12 MHz (default value is 4 MHz).
A 480 MHz UTMI PLL providing a clock for the USB High Speed Device Controller
A 96 to 192 MHz programmable PLL (input from 8 to 16 MHz), capable of providing the clock MCK to
the processor and to the peripherals.
The SAM3U-EK board is equipped with one 12 MHz crystal, one 32,768 Hz crystal and an external clock
input connector (optional, not populated by default).

The NRST pin is bidirectional. It is handled by the on-chip reset controller. It can be driven low to provide
a reset signal out to the external components. Conversely, it can be asserted low from the outside to
reset the microcontroller, its core and peripherals, Backup region (RTC, RTT and Supply Controller)
excepted. The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor of about 100 kOhm to VDDIO.
On the SAM3U-EK board, the NRST signal is connected to the LCD module and JTAG port.
The NRSTB pin is an input-only signal that enables the asynchronous reset of the SAM3U4E series
when asserted low. The NRSTB pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor of about 15 kOhm. This
allows the connection of a simple push button for implementing a system-user reset. Whatever the
mode, this pin will reset the chip including the Backup region (RTC, RTT and Supply Controller). It
makes the chip behave as for a Power-on reset. An external capacitor (10 nF) is connected between
NRSTB and VDDIO to enforce the signal stability on this pin.
4-5
6478FATARM25-Jul-11

The FWUP pin is Force Wake-Up active low input. It is enabled as a wake-up source with external pullup. If the FWUP pin is asserted for a time longer than the debouncing period (configurable for 100 s,
1 ms, 16 ms, 128 ms or 1 second), a core power supply wake-up is initiated.
4.3.5
Power Supply and Management

The SAM3U-EK board is supplied with an external 5V DC block through input J11. Protection circuitry is
obtained by a PolyZen diode MN13 and an LC combinatory filter MN14.
The adjustable LDO regulator MN12 is employed for the main supply of the 3.3V rail. It powers all the
3.3V board components. The shut down control of this LDO is made by MOSFETs Q1, Q2 piloted by the
SAM3U4E SHDN pin. When SAM3U4E is in backup mode, SHDN pin outputs a low level signal, which
shuts down the LDO. When the device is running (not in backup mode), SHDN pin output a high level
signal, which enables the LDO.
By closing the FORCE POWER ON jumper JP17, the P-channel MOSFET Q1 will be forced on, no
matter the level present on the SHDN pin, and the LDO 3.3V output will thereby be forced active.

The SAM3U-EK board uses the 3.3V LDO output as its main supply source. VDDUTMI, VDDANA,
VDDIO, VDDIN are powered directly from that source.
The internal 1.8V regulator output feeds VDDCORE and VDDPLL.
VDDCORE and VDDPLL can also be powered by an external supply. (Refer to the SAM3U datasheet for
more details).
VDDBU pin is powered from the 3.3V rail and a backup battery BT1 via a dual Schottky diode D6.

UART
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter features a two-pin UART that can be used for communication and trace purposes. It offers an ideal channel for in-situ programming solutions. This UART
is associated with two PDC channels to reduce the processor time on packet handling.
This two-pin UART (TXD and RXD only) is buffered through an RS232 Transceiver MN6 and brought to
the DB9 male connector J3.

USART
The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) provides one full duplex universal synchronous/asynchronous serial link. The data frame format is extensively configurable (data
length, parity, number of stop bits) to support a broad range of serial communication standards. The
USART is also associated with PDC channels for TX/RX data access.
There are 3 USARTs on the SAM3U4E device, SAM3U-EK connects the USART1 bus (including TXD,
RXD, RTS, CTS handshake signals control) to the DB9 male connector J4 through the RS232 Transceiver MN7.

LEDs
There are three LEDs on the SAM3U-EK board:
D2 and D3 green LEDs are user defined and controlled by the GPIO.
D4 red LED is a power LED indicating that the 3.3V rail is enabled. It can also be controlled by the
GPIO (by default, the GPIO is disabled and an on-board pull-up to 3.3V lights the LED).

The LCD module gets its reset from NRST. As explained previously, this NRST is shared with the JTAG
port and the push button BP1. The LCD chip select signal is connected to NCS2 (a dedicated jumper can
disable it, making NCS2 available for other custom usage).
The SAM3U4E communicates with the LCD through PIOB where a 16-bit parallel 8080-like protocol
data bus has to be implemented by software.

LCD backlight is made of 4 white chip LEDs in parallel, driven by an AAT3194 charge pump, MN4. The
AAT3194 is controlled by the SAM3U4E through a single line Simple Serial Control (S2Cwire) interface,
which permits to enable, disable, and set the LED drive current (LED brightness control) from a 32-level
logarithmic scale. Four 0-Ohm resistors R93/R94/R95/R96 are implemented for optional current limitation (replace 0 Ohm with the required resistor value).
The LCD module integrates a 4-wire touch screen panel controlled by MN5, ADS7843, which is a slave
device on the SAM3U4E SPI bus.
The ADS7843 touch ADC auxiliary inputs IN3/IN4 are connected to test points for optional function
extension.

Audio Codec
The SAM3U-EK includes a WOLFSON codec WM8731 for digital sound input and output. This interface
includes audio jacks for:
microphone input,
line audio input, and
headphone output.
4-11
6478FATARM25-Jul-11

The SAM3U4E programmable clock output is used to generate the WM8731 master clock (MCLK). The
SAM3U4E ODT (On-Die Termination) feature guarantees a signal integrity on this clock line without the
need for external discrete components.
WM8731 pin 21 MODE is pulled down by default; this configures the device as a TWI device for internal
register access.
Pin15 CSB is pulled up, which sets its TWI address as 33 [0x0011011].
The WM8731 digital interface works in slave mode on the SAM3U4E Synchronous Serial Controller
(SSC) interface, which means that Codec digital audio bit clock and ADC/DAC left/right control clock are
to be generated by the SAM3U4E.

Note: The ADC and DAC can run at different rates
The WM8731 ADC and DAC have separated left/right control clocks to run at different rates.
The bit clock is shared; it can be the SSC transmitter clock (TK) or the receiver clock (RK). The default
setting on SAM3U-EK is TK and RK shorted together through R97/R99. Please note that trying different
ADC/DAC rates would mean different RK/TK rates; this default setting can be modified.
The 0-Ohm resistors R46/R47/R97/R99 have been implemented to offer a disconnection possibility
(freeing these dedicated PIO lines for other custom usage).

USB
The SAM3U4E UDPHS port is compliant with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) rev 2.0 High Speed device
specification. J9 is a B-type receptacle for USB device.
Both R2 and R3 39-Ohm resistors build up a 90-Ohm differential impedance together with the 5-Ohm
output impedance of the Hi-speed channel drivers.
R68 and R69 build up a divider bridge from VBUS +5V to implement plug-in detection (5V level gets lowered to a PIO compatible 3.3V level) through PA0. Note that PA0 is also shared with ZigBee signal IRQ0.

ADC Input
There are 8 multiplexed analog channel inputs on the 12-bit ADC, and 8 multiplexed analog channel
inputs on the 10-bit ADC. SAM3U-EK optionally connects the two ADC channels to BNC header (check
for your actual components implementation, schematics and BOM, on http://www.atmel.com/products/).
One is 12-bit ADC channel 3, shared with PIO pin PB4. The other one is 10-bit ADC channel 0, shared
with PIO PB5.
A potentiometer is also connected to these two channels to implement an easy access to ADC programming and debugging (or implement an analog user control such as display brightness, volume, etc.).
Please note that SAM3U-EK default setting connects both AD12BAD3 and AD0 to the potentiometer so
that AD12BAD3 and AD0 are actually shorted. If these two ports need to work separately, R82 and/or
R84 should be removed.
There is another ADC application capability on SAM3U-EK (See G-Sensor on page 4-15.)

G-Sensor
The SAM3U-EK board is equipped with a three axis accelerometer MMA7341. Basically, it is an acceleration to analog voltage converter. Converted data on corresponding directions are read by 3 SAM3U4E
12-bit ADC channels.

PC13 controls the device sleep mode. A low level on PC13 will place the MMA7341 into sleep mode to
reduce the current; conversely, a high PC13 level will wake it up from sleep mode.
Jumper JP15 controls the device g-select function, which allows the selection between two sensitivity
levels. Depending on the logic input placed on pin 10, the device internal gain will be changed, operating
within a 3g or 11g range with different sensitivities.
Table 4-3. g-Select

Sensitivity
3g
440mV/g

117.5mV/g
Jumper JP16 provides control of the device self-test function. When the self-test function is initiated, an
electrostatic force is applied to each axis to cause it to deflect. The x- and y-axis are deflected slightly
while the z-axis is trimmed to deflect 1g. This procedure assures that both mechanical (g-cell) and electronic sections of the accelerometer are functioning.
Note that the 0-Ohm resistors R61/R62/R63 have been implemented to offer a disconnection possibility

The SAM3U4E product features 3 PIO controllers, PIOA, PIOB and PIOC, which multiplex the I/O lines
of the peripheral set. Each PIO controller controls up to 32 lines. Expansion ports J13, J14, J15 provide
a way for customers to define any PIO channels.
All the expansion port pins are directly connected to the SAM3U4E chip, except PB4 and PB5, which are
assigned as AD12BAD3 and AD0 by default on the board. Solder drops have been implemented on the
board to avoid signal conflicts from traces routing to expansion ports. If PB4 and PB5 need to be connected to the J14 connector, solder drops SD3 and SD4 should be shorted.

Assigned PIO Lines, Disconnection Possibility

As pointed out in previous interface descriptions, 0-Ohm resistors have been inserted on the PIO lines
receiver path of the SAM3U-EK. Some PIO lines are connected to an external driver on the board. The
0-Ohm resistors allow disconnecting each of these for custom usage (through PIO expansion connec-

tors, for example). This feature gives the user an added level of versatility for prototyping a system of his
own. See the table below.

Section 7
Errata
7.1
JTAG/ICE: Missing Pull-up Resistor on TDO Pin

The TDO pin is in input mode with the pull-up resistor disabled when the Cortex M3 is not in debug
mode.
Problem Fix/Workaround
To avoid current consumption on VDDIO and/or VDDCORE due to floating input, an external pull-up
resistor (100 k) corresponding to this PIO line must be added.
