Note:

1. The pushbuttons are connected by default to the I2C bus connected to the Si7021 humidity sensor and the EXP header. Pressing

a button during a transfer will interrupt the transfer.

2. The center Capacitive Sense button is not connected by default to P1.4. Instead, this pin is connected to the joystick. The board

has an unpopulated 0 Ω resistor that can be used to connect the center button.

3. These pins are not connected to the expansion header by default. The board has 0 Ω resistors that can be moved to connect

these signals to these pins.

4. This signal has high loading. If the MCU pin is used for signals where edge speed is critical, this signal should be disconnected

from the pin.

4. Power Supply and Reset

4.1 MCU Power Selection

The EFM8SB1 Sleepy Bee MCU on the EFM8SB1-SLSTK2010A is designed to be powered by three different sources:

• Through the on-board debugger.

• By a 3 V Battery.

• An externally supplied power source.

Selecting the power source is done with the slide switch in the lower left corner of the board. The figure shows how the different power

sources can be selected with the slide switch.

BAT

BAT

Figure 4.1. EFM8SB1-SLSTK2010A Power Switch

With the switch in the AEM position, an on-board low noise LDO with a fixed output voltage of 3.3 V is used to power the MCU. This

LDO is powered from the "J-Link" USB cable.

With the switch in the BAT position, the device may be powered from either a 20 mm coin cell battery (in the CR2032 socket) or an

external power supply (connected to the VMCU and GND pins on the expansion header).

4.2 MCU Reset

The EFM8 MCU can be reset by a few different sources:

• The RESET button.

• An external debugger by pulling the RSTb pin low.

5. Peripherals

The starter kit has a set of peripherals that showcase some of the features of the EFM8 EFM8SB1 Sleepy Bee microcontroller.

Be aware that most EFM8 I/O routed to peripherals are also routed to the breakout pads. This must be taken into consideration when

using the breakout pads for your application.

5.1 Push Buttons and LEDs

The kit has two user push buttons. They are connected to the EFM8, and are debounced by RC filters with a time constant of 1 ms. The

buttons are connected to pins P1.2 and P1.3.

In addition to the two push buttons, the kit also features a single-color LED that is controlled by EFM8 GPIO. The LED is connected to

pin P1.1 in an active-high configuration.

5.2 Joystick

The kit has an analog joystick with 8 measureable positions. This joystick is connected to the EFM8 on the P1.4 pin and uses different

resistor values to create voltages measurable by the ADC0.

5.3 Memory LCD-TFT Display

A 1.28-inch SHARP Memory LCD-TFT has been added to the board to enable interactive applications to be developed. The display has

a high resolution of 128 by 128 pixels and consumes very little power. It is a reflective monochrome display, so each pixel can only be

light or dark, and no backlight is needed in normal daylight conditions.

The display interface consists of an SPI-compatible serial interface and some extra control signals. Data are sent to the display one line

(128 bits) at a time.

The Memory LCD-TFT display is shared with the kit Board Controller, allowing the Board Controller application to display useful infor-

mation when the user application is not using the display. The EFM8 MCU always controls ownership of the display using the

EFM_DISP_ENABLE signal:

• 0: The Board Controller has control of the display.

• 1: The user application (EFM8) has control of the display.

Data are clocked in on EFM_DISP_MOSI (P1.0) when EFM_DISP_CS (P0.1) is high, and the clock is sent on EFM_DISP_SCLK

(P0.6). The maximum supported clock speed is 1 MHz.

Please refer to the display application information for details on driving the display:

5.4 Humidity and Temperature Sensor

The EFM8SB1-SLSTK2010A board includes a Silicon Labs Si7021 humidity and temperature sensor to enable datalogging applica-

tions. The EFM8 MCU communicates with this sensor over the I2C / SMBus hardware interface.

5.5 32 kHz Crystal

The kit has a 32 kHz crystal connected to the RTC crystal pins on the EFM8 MCU. This crystal enables the low power modes on the

MCU that utilize the RTC.

Figure 5.5. 32 kHz Crystal

5.6 Capacitive Sense

The EFM8 MCU is connected to capacitive sense pads to enable button and slider applications using the Silicon Labs capacitive sense

firmware library and Capacitive Sense Profiler software included in Simplicity Studio.
