78K0R - Cool it!

1. Introduction

78K0R - Cool it! is a demonstration kit for the NEC 78K0R 16-bit microcontroller family. It supports
onboard debugging and real time execution of application programs. The board is prepared to be
connected to user hardware parts such as digital I/O or analog signals.
1.1 Main features of 78K0R – Cool it!
•
Easy to use device demonstration capabilities
78K0R - Cool it! contains elements to easily demonstrate simple I/O-functions, i.e. navigator switch,
16*2 LC display, I/O lines, analog inputs, UART serial interface etc.
•
On-Board debug function (TK-78K0R debugging)
The 78K0R – Cool it! supports an On-Board debug function by using the IAR C-SPY debugger
without a need of additional debug hardware. It allows FLASH downloading and standard debug
functions like code execution, single stepping, breakpoints, memory manipulation etc.
•
16*2 character LC display
78K0R - Cool it! provides a 16*2 character LC display, allowing the implementation of human /
machine interfaces, comfortable input / output functions, output of measurement values, output of
status information etc.
•
Power supply by USB interface
•
Analog to digital signal conversion
•
Digital to analog signal conversion
•
Various input / output signals available, such as
° I/O ports prepared to be connected to user hardware
° 16*2 LCD display
° Timer input / output signals
° Two or three wire serial I/O
° Virtual UART interface, via the µPD78F0731 78K0 8-bit microcontroller
with on-board USB interface
° 16 analog input lines
° 2 analog output lines
° Navigation switch prepared for key interrupt generation
•
The IAR Embedded Workbench for 78K0/78K0S/78K0R and the IAR C-SPY debugger / simulator are
included. These packages are restricted in such that maximum program code size is limited to
4 kByte.
•
Full documentation is included for the NEC 78K0R/KG3 microcontroller, IAR Systems Embedded
Workbench and IAR Systems C-SPY debugger / simulator.
78K0R - Cool it! is not intended for code development. NEC does not allow and does not support
in any way any attempt to use 78K0R - Cool it! in a commercial or technical product.
