Evaluation Kit Hardware
The SAM4S features an External Bus Interface (EBI) that permits interfacing to a broad range of external
memories and virtually to any parallel peripheral. The SAM4S-EK board is equipped with a memory
device connected to the SAM4 EBI:
„ One NAND Flash MT29F2G08ABAEA.

NCS0 chip select signal is used for NAND Flash chip selection. Furthermore, a dedicated jumper (JP9)
can disconnect it from the on-board memories, thereby letting NCS0 free for other custom purpose.

Clock Circuitry
The clock generator of a SAM4S microcontroller is made up of:
„ A Low Power 32.768 Hz Slow Clock Oscillator with bypass mode.
„ A 3 to 20 MHz Crystal Oscillator, which can be bypassed (12 MHz needed in case of USB).
„ A factory programmed fast internal RC Oscillator. 3 output frequencies can be selected: 4 (default
value), 8 or 12 MHz.
„ A 60 to 130 MHz PLL (PLLB) providing a clock for the USB Full Speed Controller.
„ A 60 to 130 MHz programmable PLL (PLLA), capable to provide the clock MCK to the processor and
to the peripherals. The input frequency of PLLA is from 7.5 and 20 MHz.
The SAM4S-EK board is equipped with one 12 MHz crystal, optional Piezoelectric Ceramic Resonator
12 Mhz (Murata ref. CSTCE12M0G15L99-R0), one 32.768 Hz crystal and an external clock input con-
nector (optional, not populated by default).
