1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing Silego Technology products. The GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform allows you to develop

your custom design using GreenPAK mixed signal ICs. You can design your own projects starting from a blank project or by

altering the sample projects provided at Silego website.

1.1 GreenPAK Designer

GreenPAK Designer is an easy-to-use full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) that allows you to specify exactly

how you want the device to be configured. This provides you a direct access to all GreenPAK device features and complete control

over the routing and configuration of a PAK project with just one tool.

With GreenPAK Designer, you can:

• Design the configuration which corresponds to your project needs

• Verify the project using software interface to GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform hardware

• With simple-to-use and intuitive software and hardware tools you can reduce your project development time and get to market

faster

To start working with GreenPAK Designer please take the following steps:

• Download and install GreenPAK Designer software

• Configure modules that you will need for your project

• Interconnect and configure modules

• Specify the pin out

• Test your design with the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform

GreenPAK Advanced

Development Platform

3 Hardware

3.1 Overview

Note:All test points were designed only for observation of signals on the pins. Please do not try to connect external power/signal

source to test points, this will affect GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform functionality and may even damage it.

Development Platform

3.2 Functional Description

3.2.1 Power Supply

The main power source of the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform is the USB power line. The Development Platform

can deliver power from 0 to 5.5 V. To provide this power range, the Development Platform is equipped with a boost converter. A

Signal generator with a buffered output controls the GreenPAK chip power rail. For more information about GreenPAK electrical

specification, please refer to the datasheet.

3.2.2 USB Communication

The platform has the USB communications interface that uses the USB mini-B connector, as shown in Figure 2. This interface

provides communication with the software control tool and supplies power to the platform, as discussed in Power Supply chapter.

3.2.3 GND Connections

There are 6 GND pins on the left side, 6 pins and 1 header on the right side. These can be used for test equipment (oscilloscope,

multimeter etc.) ground reference connection or to connect external test circuitry ground.

3.2.4 Pin Test Points

Each GreenPAK chip pin including VDD has its own observation test point. These test points were designed only for observation.

To connect an external signal source use a software-controlled expansion connector.

3.2.5 LEDs

All the pins except Pin2 can be connected to buffered LEDs. This option allows visualization of digital levels on chip pins. There

are 2 selection modes:

• Buffered LED (with high impedance input)

• Inverted Buffered LED (with high impedance input)

This option can be enabled in GreenPAK Designer.

3.2.6 Socket Connector

The GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform should be used with a detachable socket board. Its main purpose is to connect

the GreenPAK chip to the Development Platform. It‘s easy to use the programmed chip in external circuits, or to measure current

consumption of the project.

3.2.7 Expansion Connector

This port was designed to connect the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform to external circuits and apply external power,

signal sources and loads. It can be used to apply the GreenPAK chip into your custom design with minimal additional tools. For

schematic diagram refer to Figure 3.

Each pin except PIN11 (GND) is controlled through an individual analog switch. Expansion connector is a standard 0.1” double

row connector. GreenPAK Designer can enable or disable external pins, as it is shown in the Figure 4. The main purpose of the

Expansion connector is to connect an external signal/power source safely to the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform.

Figure 5 demonstrates the schematic diagram of the expansion connector control.

GreenPAK Advanced

Development Platform

Expansion connector is enabled only in Emulation mode or Test mode. To enter either of these two modes the GreenPAK chip

must be in the socket. When the Test mode button is pressed the software will first read the chip to verify if it was inserted and

then configure the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform as set in Emulation Tool window. When the Test mode button is

gray then the Development Platform is in Default state and all expansion port switches are open (disconnected). After Emulation

button is pressed, the software will automatically perform the following steps:

• check chip presence

• open all expansion port switches (external signals/loads can be left connected to expansion port)

• use internal power and load configuration to the chip

• only for case #3: adjust internal power source to external power level → close external power switch → open internal

power switch

• configure Development Platform as set in Emulation Tool window

Parasitic effects should be also considered while using the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform in-circuit with analog

signals. The entire Development Platform circuitry along with the wiring have a significant amount of mutual capacitance and

inductance. The detachable socket can also be used for the in-circuit development with programmed chips (the Development

Platform and socket connectors have the same pinout).

GreenPAK Advanced

Development Platform

The GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform provides three possible ways of using expansion connector:

1) Internal power is used to run the chip, no external power output is needed, external signal sources and loads can be connected

between pins and GND.

The configuration steps:

• close internal and open external power switch

• close all used expansion port switches in the software

• hit Emulation/Test mode button

This is the common way of using an Expansion connector.

2) Internal power is used to run the chip and external circuit (internal power source/sink current is limited to 50 mA).

The configuration steps:

• close internal power switch

• close external power switch

• close all used expansion port switches in the software

• hit Emulation/Test mode button

3) External power is used to run the chip and external circuit (internal source output is in Hi-Z state).

The configuration steps:

• open internal power switch

• close external power switch

• close all used expansion port switches in the software

• hit Emulation/Test mode button (External power should be applied before this step)

Note that the GreenPAK chip has internal OTP memory which is normally loaded into RAM registers at initialization time.“Emu-

lation mode” will bypass this load, and write the updated version of the project directly into the RAM register inside the GreenPAK

chip many times, but after power loss all internal data will be lost. When the GreenPAK chip is already programmed the user can

use Emulation mode to load another project and test it on the emulation tool in Emulation mode, in that case emulation data will

be cleared. The “Emulation” mode is not necessary for checking programmed parts: in this case the “Test mode” is used.

Expansion connector can be divided by types of connections:

1. VDD

2. GND

3. Data connections

The VDD connection enables the user to connect/disconnect external and internal power source. This connection meets next

requirements:

• External power range: 1.8 - 5.5 V

• High resistance voltage dividers are not recommended
