Small form-factor 48-pin castellated pad module. Designed to allow an easy implementation of CircuitPython in maker/hacker projects without the bulk of a large breakout board.

Specs:

  • Atmel ATSAMD51J19A Microcontroller (32-bit ARM Cortex M4)
  • 8 MB SPI Flash
  • Onboard 3.3V LDO Regulator
  • Power and Status LEDs
  • Breakouts for SPI and I2C
  • Breakouts for 13 Analog and 19 Digital Inputs/Outputs

Revision History / Known Issues:

v1.0:

  • Initial release
  • Analog output does no work due to silicon issue with ATSAMD51. Requires a dedicated VREF/AREF pin with external 3.3 VREF input

v1.1 & v1.2:

  • Not released due to issues resulting from design changes. I removed the pull-up on RST because the datasheet says it was optional. Turns out it was not so optional. These revisions will not function without a 10K resistor bodged onto the RST line.
  • Dedicated a pin to VREF. Added a 0 Ohm resistor with a 3.3v input into VREF.
  • Switched from 4 layer to 2 layer board layout
  • Rearranged layout to allow for pad documentation
  • Added silkscreen for pad/pin assignments
  • Added logo
  • Removed inductor on VSW. Board will only work on linear power mode due to this.
  • Removed polyfuse. Acceptable risk tradeoff for the space. If you want a fuse, add it to your design that incorporates this board.
  • Removed Schottkey diode on VIN. Acceptable risk tradeoff for the space.
  • Changed to a different flash chip with a smaller footprint
  • Shuffled I/O pin assignments for more efficient trace routing/layout

v1.3:

  • Added 10k pull-up back to RST.
  • All tests working out: I2C, SPI, Analog & Digital In, Analog Out

Basic
