Product details
Overview
ATSTK600-RC29 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an evaluation and development kit designed specifically for the AT32UC3L016/032/064 family of 32-bit AVR UC microcontrollers. It provides full hardware access to all I/O, peripherals, debug interfaces (JTAG/aWire), and power domains of the target MCU in 48-pin TQFP/QFN/TLLGA packages. The kit supports real-time debugging, flash programming, capacitive touch evaluation, and low-power mode validation - enabling rapid prototyping of ultra-low-power embedded applications such as battery-powered sensor nodes and human interface devices.
For engineers reviewing the ATSTK600-RC29 datasheet, ATSTK600-RC29 pinout, ATSTK600-RC29 application, or ATSTK600-RC29 equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware configuration details, supported target MCU variants (AT32UC3L064/032/016), debug interface mapping (JTAG + aWire), on-board voltage regulation (1.62–3.6 V), and capacitive touch evaluation capability - critical for validating system-level integration before PCB spin.
Technical Context
The ATSTK600-RC29 is a dedicated hardware platform for evaluating the AT32UC3L016/032/064 series, featuring a socketed 48-pin TQFP footprint, configurable power supply rails (VDDIO, VDDCORE, VDDANA), and direct routing of all 36 GPIOs, 12 DMA channels, 36 PWM outputs, and 8-channel 12-bit ADC signals to accessible headers. It integrates native support for picoPower® low-power validation via SleepWalking control and real-time current measurement points.
Debug infrastructure includes dual-mode connectivity: standard 20-pin JTAG header compliant with IEEE 1149.1 and single-pin aWire interface muxed with RESET_N - both fully compatible with Atmel Studio and third-party Nexus Class 2+ trace tools. The board also exposes all oscillator inputs (XIN0/XOUT0, XIN32/XOUT32) and capacitive touch sense lines (CSA/CSB) for QTouch® and QMatrix® sensor evaluation.

FAQ
What MCU variants are supported by the ATSTK600-RC29?
The ATSTK600-RC29 supports the AT32UC3L016, AT32UC3L032, and AT32UC3L064 microcontrollers in 48-pin TQFP, QFN, and TLLGA packages. All three variants share identical pinouts and peripheral mappings per datasheet Section 2.2, allowing seamless substitution on the same ATSTK600-RC29 board without hardware modification.
Does the ATSTK600-RC29 support both JTAG and aWire debugging?
Yes, the ATSTK600-RC29 provides native support for both interfaces: a standard 20-pin JTAG header compliant with IEEE 1149.1 and a single-pin aWire interface multiplexed with the RESET_N signal. Both enable full Nexus Class 2+ debug capabilities including non-intrusive trace, runtime control, and memory access - as documented for the AT32UC3L016/032/064 in Section 4 of the datasheet.
Can the ATSTK600-RC29 be used to evaluate capacitive touch functionality?
Yes, the ATSTK600-RC29 routes all 17 CSA and 17 CSB lines from the AT32UC3L016/032/064 to accessible headers, enabling direct connection of QTouch® and QMatrix® capacitive sensors. The board supports autonomous touch wakeup from sleep modes and full integration with the Atmel QTouch Library - matching the CAT module specifications in datasheet Sections 1 and 3.2.
What power supply options does the ATSTK600-RC29 provide for the target MCU?
The ATSTK600-RC29 delivers independent, configurable supplies: VDDIO (1.62–3.6 V), VDDCORE (1.62–1.98 V), and VDDANA (1.62–1.98 V), each with dedicated regulation and measurement points. This enables accurate validation of picoPower® operation, including SleepWalking, low-leakage states (<9 nA), and brown-out detection - per datasheet Sections 1 and 3.4.
Is the ATSTK600-RC29 compatible with Atmel Studio and third-party debug tools?
Yes, the ATSTK600-RC29 is fully supported by Atmel Studio 7 and compatible with third-party JTAG/aWire debuggers implementing Nexus Class 2+ protocols. Its JTAG header meets IEEE 1149.1 standards, and its aWire implementation uses the RESET_N pin per datasheet Section 3.2.4 - ensuring interoperability with tools supporting AVR32 UC debug architecture.
