Atmel AVR2016: RZRAVEN Hardware User’s Guide [APPLICATION NOTE]

8117E−AVR−07/12

ISP programming can be performed by connecting an ISP enabled Atmel AVR programming tool to the pin header J302

(ATmega3290P) and J205 (ATmega1284P). AVR tools like Atmel STK

500, AVRISP mkII and JTAGICE mkII can be

used for this.

The AVRRAVEN does not come with these headers mounted. So it is up to the user populating these. Wires could also

be soldered in instead of the dual row headers.

2.12.2 Relay Interface

A relay interface (Relay Positive and Negative) is available through J401. This interface can be used with the

AVRRAVEN running from external power. A switching transistor is connected to PB6 on the ATmega3290P so that

sufficient current can be provided to the relay being driven. An external power source must be used if the relay option is

required. The AVRRAVEN must then be supplied with the rated voltage of the relay.

2.13 Voltage Measurement Interface

Two of the pins in header J401 can be used for external voltage measurements, however only one at the time. The

possible voltage ranges are 0 to VCC or via a voltage divider giving an approximate range of 0 to five times VCC. A

simple voltage divider is implemented to scale the measurement voltage. A diode bridge is also used to prevent reverse

polarity and to protect the ATmega3290P’s ADC channel 3.

2.13.1 GPIO

Both the Atmel ATmega3290P and Atmel ATmega1284P are high pin count devices, and a number of these are not

used. These pins are available through the user I/O headers; J401, J201, J202 and J203. See Table 2-2 and Table 2-3

for further det

ails.

Be aware that these pins do not have level converters and should thus not be connected directly to an application board

running on a different voltage level than the Atmel AVRRAVEN.
