3.2 Power Supply
The EFM8 on the kit can be bus-powered, using its internal 5V-to-3.3 V regulator to provide power to itself and the VMCU net, or the
EFM8 can be self-powered with its internal regulator disabled. In self-powered mode, the EFM8 and the VMCU net are powered by an
on-board low-dropout regulator. Configuring the kit is done using the slide switch marked "Power Source" located in the lower right
corner of the board.
3.2.1 Self-Powered Mode
When the "Power Source" slide switch is in the "DBG USB" position, the EFM8 is connected in self-powered mode with its internal
regulator disabled. In this configuration, the EFM8 and the VMCU net are powered by an on-board regulator, which draws power from
the USB Micro-B debugging connector. The low-dropout regulator has a total output current capacity of 300 mA, in which some is being
used to power the on-board debugger through the 3V3 net.

3.5 On-board Debugger
The Thunderboard EFM8UB3 contains a microcontroller separate from the EFM8 Universal Bee that provides the user with a on-board
J-Link debugger through the USB micro-B debugging port. This microcontroller is referred to as the "On-board Debugger", and is not
programmable by the user.
In addition to providing code download and debug features, the on-board debugger also presents a virtual COM port for general pur-
pose application serial data transfer.
Figure 3.6 On-Board Debugger Connections on page 8 shows the connections between the target EFM8 device and the on-board
debugger. The figure also shows the presence of the Mini Simplicity Connector, and how this is connected to the same I/O pins. Please
refer to section 4. Debugging and section 5. Kit Configuration and Upgrades for more details on debugging.

3.6 EFM8 Reset
The EFM8 MCU can be reset by a few different sources:
• A user pressing the RESET button.
• The on-board debugger pulling the EFM8 RSTb pin low.
• An external debugger pulling the EFM8 RSTb pin low.
In addition to the reset sources mentioned above, the debugger will also issue a reset to the EFM8 when starting up. This means that
removing power to the debugger (unplugging the USB Micro-B cable) will not generate a reset, but plugging the cable back in will cause
a reset as the debugger starts up.

3.7.1 Breakout Pads
The board provides access to every I/O pin of the EFM8 through 24 breakout pads. Twelve of these are located along the left side of
the board while the remaining twelve are located on the right side of the board. The breakout pads contain a number of I/O pins that
can be used with most of the EFM8 Universal Bee's features. Additionally, the VMCU (EFM8 power rail), 3.3V (debug LDO regulator
output), and 5V power rails are also exported.
20 of the breakout pads are pinned out similar to the EXP header found on Silicon Labs Starter Kits, which ensures that commonly
used peripherals such as SPI, UART and I2C buses are available on fixed locations. The rest of the pins are used for general purpose
IO. This allows the definition of expansion boards that can can be used in conjunction with a number of different Silicon Labs starter
kits.
The pin-routing on the EFM8 is very flexible, so most peripherals can be routed to any pin. However, some pins are shared between the
breakout pads and other functions on the Thunderboard EFM8UB3. The table below shows an overview of the breakout pads and func-
tionality that is shared with the kit.
Note: The breakout tab labeled P2.1 in the silkscreen (number 9 on the left side) is connected to a resistor divider on the EFM8 USB
VBUS line. Voltages above VMCU may appear on this pad.

3.7.2 Mini Simplicity Connector
The Mini Simplicity connector that can be soldered in on the Thunderboard EFM8UB3 allows the use of an external debugger such as a
Silicon Labs Wireless Starter Kit (WSTK) with the board. In addition to providing the 2-Wire (C2) debug interface and virtual COM port
functionality, the WSTK can also support Advanced Energy Monitoring (AEM). The pinout is described in section 3.7.2 Mini Simplicity
Connector, and the signal names are referenced from the EFM8.
Note: The 10 pin, 1.27 mm pitch Mini Simplicity connector is not provided in the kit and needs to be soldered in by the user.

3.7.5 Flat Flexible Cable Connector
A small, 6-position connector with 0.50 mm pitch for flat flexible cables (FFC) can be found on the secondary side of the board. The
connector (P/N: FH12-6S-0.5SH(55)) allows connections of external Silicon Labs "postage-stamp" (PS) sized evaluation boards to the
kit. Some examples of such boards are the Si7201-B01V-EB Switch PS Board, the Si7210-B00V-EB I2C PS Board, and the Si7211-
B00V-EB Analog PS Board.

4. Debugging
The Thunderboard EFM8UB3 contains an on-board fully functional SEGGER J-Link Debugger that interfaces to the target EFM8 using
the Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface. The debugger allows the user to download code and debug applications running in the
target EFM8. Additionally, it also provides a virtual COM port (VCOM) to the host computer that is directly connected to the target devi-
ce's serial port, for general purpose communication between the running application and the host computer.
An external Silicon Labs debugger can also be used with the board by connecting it to the Mini Simplicity connector. This allows ad-
vanced debugging features as described in section 4.3 Mini Simplicity Connector. A Silicon Labs Starter Kit (STK) is a good example of
a debugger that can be used with the Thunderboard EFM8UB3 when connected through a debug adapter.
Note: When using an external debugger, the "Power Source" slide switch must be placed in the "DBG USB" position, and the debug
USB cable must be removed to ensure correct operation.
Figure 4.1 Thunderboard EFM8UB3 Debugging Possibilities on page 13 shows the possible debug options.
Figure 4.1. Thunderboard EFM8UB3 Debugging Possibilities
4.1 On-board Debugger Considerations
The on-board debugger is a SEGGER J-Link debugger running on an EFM32 Giant Gecko. The debugger is connected to the C2 and
VCOM pins of the target EFM8 through a level shift and isolation circuit. When the debug USB cable is inserted, the on-board debugger
is automatically active and takes control of the C2 and VCOM interfaces. This means that serial wire debug and communication will not
work with an external STK connected through the Mini Simplicity connector at the same time.
When the debug USB cable is connected, the target EFM8 voltage domain (VMCU) is used to power parts of the level shift and isola-
tion circuit. Furthermore, depending on the "Power Source" slide switch position, the debugger itself may also be powered from the
VMCU rail. These considerations should be taken into account when trying to measure the EFM8 current consumption on the kit while
using the on-board debugger.
When the debug USB cable is disconnected, the on-board debugger is powered down and the level shift and isolation circuit is put in a
partially powered down state, minimizing both leakage current and quiescent current from the target EFM8 voltage domain (VMCU).
This means that high performance power measurements of the EFM8 with either Advanced Energy Monitoring or other external hard-
ware should be obtained with the debug USB cable disconnected.
UG308: Thunderboard EFM8UB3 User's Guide

silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 1.0 | 13

4.2 Virtual COM Port
The virtual COM port is a connection to a UART of the target EFM8, and allows serial data to be sent and received from the device. The
on-board debugger presents this as a virtual COM port on the host computer that shows up when the USB cable is inserted. Alterna-
tively, the VCOM port can also be used through the Mini Simplicity Connector with an external WSTK.
Data is transferred between the host computer and the debugger through the USB connection, which emulates a serial port using the
USB Communication Device Class (CDC). From the debugger, the data is passed on to the target device through a physical UART
connection.
The serial format is 115200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Using the VCOM port through the Mini Simplicity Connector with an external WSTK works in a similar way, but requires that the on-
board debugger is unplugged. The board controller on the WSTK then makes the data available over USB (CDC) or an IP socket.
Note: Changing the baud rate for the COM port on the PC side does not influence the UART baud rate between the debugger and the
target device.
4.3 Mini Simplicity Connector
The Mini Simplicity connector is a 10-pin 1.27 mm pitch connector that gives access to advanced debugging features using an external
debugger. Debugging with an external debugger such as a Silicon Labs Starter Kit (STK) or Wireless Starter Kit (WSTK) allows:
• Debugging of the target device through the C2 interface
• Communication using the VCOM port
• Advanced Energy Monitor
Please note that the Mini Simplicity Connector cannot be used at the same time as the on-board debugger is active (debug USB cable
is plugged in). The "Power Source" slide switch must furthermore be placed in the "DBG USB" position, as the Mini Simplicity connector
injects a voltage into the target EFM8 voltage domain. For information on how to correctly connect to the kit, see Figure 4.1 Thunder-
board EFM8UB3 Debugging Possibilities on page 13. The recommended way to power the board when using the Mini Simplicity Con-
nector is to use the AEM voltage supply of the STK or WSTK. Power-cycling of the board, if necessary, can easily be done by flipping
the power switch on the WSTK to "BAT" and back to "AEM".
