Introduction

The AB-050-FX3-U is designed as a simple and easy to use Starter Board to support users with the first steps
when starting with the Fx3-Series family.
The Starter Board is prepared to hold a V850ES/FK3 device (uPD70F3385). As the largest device of the Fx3-
Series the FK3 offers the complete range of all Fx3 peripherals. Therefore software development for all other Fx3-
Series devices is possible as well. Due to the software compatibility between the different family members porting
of SW from FK3 to smaller devices is possible with only minimum efforts.
Mounting other members of the Fx3-Series on the board also is possible, at the cost of manual replacement of
components and rewiring of signals.
With the NWire Debug interface and the Flash Programming interface for the NEC PG-FP4 Flash Programmer the
standard NEC programming interfaces are directly available.
To enable further application development the board features drivers for five high speed CAN interfaces, eight RS-
232 interfaces and eight LIN bus interfaces.
With on-board voltage regulator and reset generator a simple external DC power supply is sufficient to operate the
board.
