1.Introduction
This user guide details the setup and configuration of the Freescale MPC5748G customer Evaluation
Board (hereafter referred to as the EVB). The EVB is intended to provide a mechanism for easy
evaluation of the MPC5748G family of microcontrollers, and to facilitate hardware and software
development. Various daughtercards are available which connect to the EVB via two high density
connectors. Please consult your Freescale representative for more details on daughtercard pricing and
availability.
The EVB is intended for bench / laboratory use and has been designed using normal temperature
specified components (+70°C).
This product contains components that may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Observe precautions
for handling electrostatic sensitive devices when using this EVB and associated microcontroller.
The user manual is intended to be read alongside the respective MCU documentation available at
www.freescale.com and includes:
Reference Manuals
Product Data Sheets
Application notes
Chip Errata
1.1. Peripheral Daughtercards
The EVB has connectors for various peripheral daughtercards (for example MLB) that provide
additional peripheral functionality. These are not supplied with the EVB and must be sourced separately.
Please contact your Freescale representative for pricing and availability.
2.EVB Features
The EVB provides the following key features:
Single 10-14 V DC external power supply input with on-board regulators to provide all of the
necessary EVB and MCU voltages. Power may be supplied to the EVB via a 2.1 mm barrel style
power jack or a 2-way screw type connector. 12 V operation allows in-car use if desired.
Master power switch and regulator status LED’s.
USB Serial interface
2 x High Speed CAN transceiver routed to 3-way headers
2 x LIN interfaces routed to standard Molex headers
Main clock supplied from on board crystal or SMA connector
User reset switch with reset status LED’s
Ethernet PHY and RJ45 socket configurable as RMII or MII
USB Type A Host interface
USB Type AB (micro USB) OTG interface

MPC5748G EVB User Guide, User Guide, Rev. 0, 08/2015
4 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
2 x FlexRay interfaces with standard 2-pin connectors
14-pin JTAG and 50 pin Nexus (Trace) connectors
2 x High Density daughter card connectors allowing an MCU specific daughtercard to be fitted1
MLB daughtercard connector
SAI Audio board connectors (2 x 0.1 inch pitch headers and 2 x TWRPI style headers)
SD connector (mounted to the underside of the board) supporting hardware write protect and
card detection
4 user LEDs wired to MCU ports, also available at a user header
4 user pushbutton switches wired to MCU ports, also available at a user header
Hexadecimal encoded switch wired to 4 MCU ports, also available at a user header
Simple potentiometer connected to analogue input channel
NOTE
To alleviate confusion between jumpers and connector headers, all EVB
jumpers are 2 mm pitch whereas headers are 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). This
prevents inadvertently fitting a jumper to a header.
1There is no MCU fitted to the EVB. A daughtercard must be fitted before the EVB can be used.

Configuration Overview
MPC5748G EVB User Guide, User Guide, Rev. 0, 08/2015
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. 5
3.Configuration Overview
Throughout this document, all of the default jumper and switch settings are clearly marked with “(D)”
and are shown in blue text. This allows a more rapid return to the default state of the EVB if required.
Note that the default configuration for 3-way jumpers is a header fitted between pins 1 and 2. On the
EVB, 2-way, and 3-way jumpers have been aligned such that pin1 is either to the top or to the left of the
jumper. On 2-way jumpers, the source of the signal is connected to pin1.
The EVB has been designed with ease of use in mind and has been segmented into functional blocks as
shown below. Detailed silkscreen legend has been used throughout the board to identify all switches,
jumpers and user connectors.
Figure 1. EVB Functional Blocks

4.MCU Daughtercard information
In order to use the EVB, an MCU daughtercard must be fitted as described in the following section.
Before fitting or removing a daughtercard, ensure the EVB is powered OFF
4.1. Fitting a daughtercard
Gently place the daughtercard on the EVB connectors ensuring the correct orientation as shown in the
following figure. The connectors are polarized so the daughtercard will only fit in one orientation (with
the jumpers at the bottom of the daughtercard). Once the connectors have been located correctly, firmly
push down all four corners of the daughter card simultaneously in order to ensure the connectors are
mated. (The following picture also shows the default jumper positions for the 256BGA daughtercard)
Figure 2. Daughtercard Fitted to EVB
4.2. Removing a daughtercard
In order to prevent damage to the daughtercard connectors, it is important to remove the daughtercard
correctly. Carefully lift either the top or bottom edge of the daughtercard and it should easily lift off as
shown in the following figure (viewed from the left side of the EVB).
Figure 3. Removing a daughtercard
CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift the left or right edge of the daughtercard as this will
result in connector damage.

5. Initial Configuration
This section details the power, reset, clocks, and debug configuration which is the minimum
configuration needed in order to power ON the EVB.
5.1. Power Supply Configuration
The EVB requires an external power supply voltage of between 10 V-14 V DC (nominal 12 V),
minimum 2 A. This allows the EVB to be used in a vehicle if required. The 12 V input is regulated on
the EVB using two switching and three linear regulators to provide the required voltages of 5.0 V, 3.3 V
(both linear and switcher) and 1.25 V (linear). For flexibility, there are two power supply input
connectors on the EVB as detailed below:
5.1.1.
Power Supply Connectors (P21, P23)
2.1 mm Barrel Connector –P21
This connector should be used to connect the supplied wall-plug mains adapter. Note –if a
replacement or alternative adapter is used, care must be taken to ensure the 2.1 mm plug uses the
correct polarisation as shown below:
Figure 4. 2.1mm Power Connector
2-Way Screw Type Connector –P23
This can be used to connect a bare wire lead to the EVB, typically from a laboratory power supply.
The polarisation of the connectors is clearly marked on the EVB. Care must be taken to ensure
correct connection.

The Power supply
section is located in
the bottom left
corner of the EVB

5.1.2.
Power Switch (SW5)
Slide switch SW5 can be used to isolate the power supply input from the EVB voltage regulators if
required.
Moving the slide switch to the right (away from the fuse) will turn the EVB OFF.
Moving the slide switch to the left (towards the fuse) will turn the EVB ON.
5.1.3.
Regulator Power Jumper (J23)
All of the regulators are permanently powered from the main 12 V supply line and active with the
exception of the 1.25 V linear regulator which has a 3-way jumper to allow selection of the input
voltage.
The table below details the jumper configurations for the linear 1.25 V regulator source voltage. By
default, the regulator is powered from the 12 V supply line.

5.1.4.
Power Status LED’s and Fuse
When power is applied to the EVB, five green LED’s adjacent to the voltage regulators show the
presence of the supply voltages as follows:
LED DS4 –Indicates that the 1.25V linear regulator is enabled and working correctly
LED DS5 –Indicates that the 5.0V linear regulator is enabled and working correctly
LED DS6 –Indicates that the 3.3V linear regulator is enabled and working correctly
LED DS9 –Indicates that the 5.0V switching regulator is enabled and working correctly
LED DS10 –Indicates that the 3.3V switching regulator is enabled and working correctly
If no LED’s are illuminated when power is applied to the EVB and the regulators are correctly enabled
using the appropriate jumpers, it is possible that either power switch SW5 is in the “OFF” position or
that the fuse F1 has blown. The fuse is provided to protect the external power supply and for EVB
circuitry reverse-bias protection. If the fuse has blown, check the polarity of your power supply and
replace the fuse with a 20 mm 1.5 A fast blow fuse.
Note that the fuse will not protect against one of the EVB regulators being shorted. If this happens,
damage is likely to occur to the EVB and / or components.
CAUTION
In the event of a short in the regulator output, the regulator and/or the
shorted component may be hot

5.1.5.
MCU Power Supply Jumpers
(J18, J19, J20, J21, J22, J23)
All of the regulated power supplies are routed to the MCU daughtercard via jumpers. This allows each
power supply to be individually isolated and facilitates current measurement at the respective jumper.
Note that only the daughtercard is connected to the power lines after the jumpers so MCU current
measurements are accurate. There are an additional two jumpers that control the voltages used by EVB
peripherals connected to the VDD_HV_A and VDD_HV_B domains as described in section 5.1.7.

Note that the JTAG pins are in domain VDD_HV_A whereas the Nexus pins are VDD_HV_B.
Normally this would mean that for trace, the HVA and HVB domains should be at the same voltage
however some development tools can automatically adapt to the voltages on the trace signals. Please
consult your tools vendor for further details.
5.2. Reset Control (J9, SW1)
The MCU has a single bi-directional open drain Reset pin. Rather than connect multiple devices to the
reset pin directly, a reset-in and reset-out buffering scheme has been implemented on the EVB as shown
in Figure 7 below. The reset “in” from the reset switch (SW1) and the debug connectors are logically
OR’d together using an AND gate and then connected to the buffer to provide an open-drain output.
The “reset-out” circuitry provides a buffered reset signal that can be used to drive any circuitry requiring
a reset control from the MCU.

Jumper J9 is used to disconnect the reset signal from the external reset sources if required.

5.2.1.
Reset LEDs
As can be seen in Figure 7 above, there are two reset LED’s that can be used to identify the source /
cause of a reset:

RED LED D1 (titled “MCU”) will illuminate if:
The MCU issues a reset (in this condition ONLY this LED will be illuminated and LED DS1
will be off)
There is a target reset (ie from the reset switch or from the debugger in which case LED DS1
will be ON)
YELLOW LED DS1 (titled “USR”) will illuminate when an external hardware device issues a reset to
the MCU:
The reset switch is pressed
There is a reset being driven from one of the debug connectors

5.3. MCU Clock Configuration
There are 2 clock configuration jumpers on the daughtercard and an external clock input connector on
the main board to allow an externally generated clock to be supplied if desired. See Figure 8 below.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. 15
5.3.1.
External Clock Input (P7)
The external clock input on the EVB is applied via SMA connector P7. When driving an external clock
into the SMA connector, the jumpers on the daughtercard must be reconfigured to route the external
clock to the MCU.
Note that the following conditions must be met when supplying an external clock:
The clock frequency must be between 8MHz and 40MHz
The amplitude of the clock input should not exceed the voltage being driven into the
VDD_HV_A pins. This is selectable between 3.3V and 5.0V on the daughtercard.
5.3.2.
MCU Clock Configuration (J1, J2 on Daughtercard)
There are two external clock crystals on the MPC5748G daughtercards:
40MHz fast external crystal for clocking the main system clock
32KHz slow external crystal for accurate time of day keeping
The 40MHz crystal is connected to the MCU XTAL and EXTAL pins via 3-way jumper headers as
shown in the diagram above. These jumpers allow an external clock to be routed from the SMA
connector (P7) on the main board if desired. The default configuration is with both daughtercard
jumpers (J1 and J2) set to position 1-2 which routes the external 40MHz crystal to the MCU pins. If you
wish to supply a clock via the SMA connector on the main EVB, move the daughtercard jumpers J1 and
J2 to position 2-3.
The 32 KHz external crystal is permanently connected to the MCU EXTAL32 and XTAL32 pins and
has no configuration options.

5.4. Debug Connectors (P8, P10)
The EVB provides two debug connectors:
Standard 14 pin JTAG
50 Pin Nexus connector (Samtec ASP-148422-01, Nexus Standard HP50 connector)
There is no user configuration required to use the connectors however the following points should be
noted:
The JTAG connector is routed to the JTAG signals in the default position which are powered
from the MCU VDD_HV_A power domain. The Nexus signals are located in the VDD_HV_B
power domain. If you are using Nexus, you may have to ensure that the VDD_HV_A and
VDD_HV_B domains are at the same voltage. Consult your tools vendor for specific information
The Nexus signals are not bonded out in every MCU package. Before using Nexus, please ensure
the MCU fitted to the EVB (via the daughtercard) supports the Nexus signals.

6.Communications & Memory Interfaces:
This section details the communication interface and storage peripherals that are implemented on the
EVB.
6.1. CAN Interfaces (P14, P15, J14, J15)
The EVB incorporates two identical CAN interface circuits connected to MCU CAN0 and CAN1 using
MC33901 transceivers. Both transceivers are configured for high speed operation by pulling pin 8 to
GND via a 4.7K Ohm resistor. There are test points to allow the Select pin to be driven high if desired.
The MC33901 is pin compatible with other CAN transceivers supporting full CAN FD data rates.
For flexibility, the CAN transceiver I/O is connected to a standard 0.1” connector (P14 for CAN1 / P15
for CAN0) rather than using non standard DB9 connectors. The pinout of these headers is shown below
and is also detailed on the PCB silkscreen
Figure 9. CAN Physical Interface Connectors
The CAN0 and CAN1 MCU TX/RX signals are jumpered as shown in the table below to allow the
transceivers to be isolated from the respective MCU pin if desired. The default configuration is with all
jumper headers fitted routing the TX and RX signals to the MCU.

NOTE
Care should be taken when fitting the jumper headers to the 2x2 jumper
blocks J14 and J15 as they can easily be fitted in the incorrect orientation.
Jumper headers should be fitted horizontally.
The CAN TX / RX MCU pins are powered from the VDD_HV_A domain, which is configured between
3.3V and 5.0V on the daughtercard using jumper J5. The CAN transceivers I/O voltage is connected to
the PER_HVA net configured with jumper J24 on the main EVB. Care must be taken to ensure that the
MCU VDD_HV_A and PER_HVA supplies are the same when using the CAN transceiver.
6.2. LIN Interfaces (P9, P11, J10, J12)
The EVB incorporates two identical LIN transceiver circuits connected to MCU LIN0 and LIN1 using a
Freescale MC33662LEF transceiver supporting both master and slave mode (jumper selectable)
The output from the LIN transceiver is connected to a standard 4-pin Molex connector as used on most
other Freescale EVB’s supporting LIN as shown in the following figure:

The LIN0 and LIN1 MCU TX/RX signals are jumpered as shown in the following to allow the
transceivers to be isolated from the respective MCU pin if desired. The default configuration is with all
jumper headers fitted routing the TX and RX signals to the MCU.
Each transceiver also has a master mode enable jumper which is fitted by default to configure the
transceiver for Master mode. To configure the transceiver for slave mode, remove the respective
“Master_EN” jumper.

3.3V and 5.0V on the daughtercard using jumper J5. The LIN transceivers enable pin is connected to the
PER_HVA net configured with jumper J24 on the main EVB. Care must be taken to ensure that the
MCU VDD_HV_A and PER_HVA supplies are the same when using the LIN transceiver.
Note that in order for the LIN transceiver to function, external power must be supplied via pin 3 of the
molex connector as detailed in Figure 10.
6.3. USB RS232 Serial Interface (P17, J16)
The EVB incorporates a USB RS232 serial interface providing RS232 connectivity via a direct USB
connection between the PC and the EVB. The circuit contains an FTDI FT2232D USB to Serial
interface which should automatically install the drivers for two additional COM ports on your PC. Note
that only one of these is used so you will need to try both (usually the higher numbered COM port is the
active one). For more information on the USB drivers and general fault finding, consult the FTDI
website at http://www.ftdichip.com/
The MCU LIN2 signals are routed to the FTDI transceiver via a 2-way jumper header (J16) allowing the
transceiver to be isolated from the MCU pin if desired. The default configuration is with the jumper
The USB RS232
interface is on the

headers should be fitted horizontally.
The MCU LIN2 (SCI) pins are powered from the VDD_HV_A domain, which is configured between
3.3V and 5.0V on the daughtercard using jumper J5. The FTDI transceiver I/O voltage pin is connected
to the PER_HVA net configured with jumper J24 on the main EVB. Care must be taken to ensure that
the MCU VDD_HV_A and PER_HVA supplies are the same when using the FTDI transceiver.
6.4. USB HOST / OTG Interfaces
The EVB includes Type A (Host) and Type AB (OTG) USB interfaces, routed to standard and micro
USB sockets respectively. Each USB circuit contains a USB83340 transceiver with a shared USB power
switch. There is no user configuration required on either of the USB circuits.
The USB transceivers have a 3.3V (only) interface. All of the USB0 (connected to the OTG transceiver)
and USB1 (connected to the HOST transceiver) signals are in the VDD_HV_A domain and must be
configured as 3.3V via daughtercard jumper J5. If VDD_HV_A is set to 5V, the USB0 and USB1 MCU
signals should be left tri-stated to prevent damage to the USB transceivers.
6.5. Ethernet (P6, J5, J6, J7, J8, R45, R80)
The MPC5748G supports both MII and RMII Ethernet interfaces. The EVB incorporates a DP83848c
transceiver supporting both MII and RMII modes. The transceiver is connected to a pulse J1011F21PNL
RJ45 connector which includes a built-in isolation transformer.
The default configuration, with all 2-way jumpers fitted and all 3-way jumpers in position 1-2,
configures the transceiver for MII mode with the reset signal to the PHY being driven from the MCU
Reset out (eg any reset causing the MCU Reset line to assert will reset the PHY)
In order to configure the EVB for RMII mode, jumpers J5, J6 and J7 need to be changed as described in
Table 14 below. In addition, a surface mount 0Ω resistor needs to be de-soldered and moved as shown in
the figure below. This option is fitted as a resistor instead of a jumper to maintain signal integrity on the
Ethernet clock signal.
