1. Relevant Devices
The C8051F530 Development Kit is intended as a development platform for microcontrollers in the C8051F53x/
52x MCU family. Code developed on the C8051F530 can be easily ported to the other members of this MCU
family.
2. Kit Contents
The C8051F530 Development Kit contains the following items:
C8051F530A Target Board
C8051Fxxx Development Kit Quick-Start Guide
AC to DC Power Adapter
USB Debug Adapter (USB to Debug Interface)
USB Cable
The development kit target board contains two C8051F530 microcontrollers that can communicate through an LIN
network. One of the C8051F530 (U2) can also be connected to a CP2102 USB to UART bridge and directly
connected to two analog signals and a Voltage Reference Signal Input.
3. Hardware Setup Using a USB Debug Adapter
The target board is connected to a PC running the Silicon Laboratories IDE via the USB Debug Adapter as shown
in Figure 1.
1. Connect the USB Debug Adapter to one of the
DEBUG
connectors on the target board (
HDR1
or
HDR2
)
with the 10-pin ribbon cable. The recommended connection is to the
HDR2
(connected to U2) as this
microcontroller can be connected to the CP2102 USB to UART bridge.
2. Verify that shorting blocks are installed on J13 and J14 to supply power to the target devices.
3. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the USB Debug Adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB Port on the PC.
5. Connect the ac/dc power adapter to power jack
P5
on the target board.
