(Rev.4.0-1 November 2017)
General Precautions
1. Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A strong electrical field, when exposed to a CMOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the
device operation. Steps must be taken to stop the generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it
when it occurs. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, a humidifier should be used. This is recommended to
avoid using insulators that can easily build up static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported in an antistatic container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work benches and floors
must be grounded. The operator must also be grounded using a wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare
hands. Similar precautions must be taken for printed circuit boards with mounted semiconductor devices.
2. Processing at power-on
The state of the product is undefined at the time when power is supplied. The states of internal circuits in the LSI are
indeterminate and the states of register settings and pins are undefined at the time when power is supplied. In a finished product
where the reset signal is applied to the external reset pin, the states of pins are not guaranteed from the time when power is
supplied until the reset process is completed. In a similar way, the states of pins in a product that is reset by an on-chip power-on
reset function are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the power reaches the level at which resetting is
specified.
3. Input of signal during power-off state
Do not input signals or an I/O pull-up power supply while the device is powered off. The current injection that results from input
of such a signal or I/O pull-up power supply may cause malfunction and the abnormal current that passes in the device at this
time may cause degradation of internal elements. Follow the guideline for input signal during power-off state as described in
your product documentation.
4. Handling of unused pins
Handle unused pins in accordance with the directions given under handling of unused pins in the manual. The input pins of
CMOS products are generally in the high-impedance state. In operation with an unused pin in the open-circuit state, extra
electromagnetic noise is induced in the vicinity of the LSI, an associated shoot-through current flows internally, and
malfunctions occur due to the false recognition of the pin state as an input signal become possible.
5. Clock signals
After applying a reset, only release the reset line after the operating clock signal becomes stable. When switching the clock
signal during program execution, wait until the target clock signal is stabilized. When the clock signal is generated with an
external resonator or from an external oscillator during a reset, ensure that the reset line is only released after full stabilization of
the clock signal. Additionally, when switching to a clock signal produced with an external resonator or by an external oscillator
while program execution is in progress, wait until the target clock signal is stable.
6. Voltage application waveform at input pin
Waveform distortion due to input noise or a reflected wave may cause malfunction. If the input of the CMOS device stays in the
area between VIL (Max.) and VIH (Min.) due to noise, for example, the device may malfunction. Take care to prevent chattering
noise from entering the device when the input level is fixed, and also in the transition period when the input level passes through
the area between VIL (Max.) and VIH (Min.).
7. Prohibition of access to reserved addresses
Access to reserved addresses is prohibited. The reserved addresses are provided for possible future expansion of functions. Do
not access these addresses as the correct operation of the LSI is not guaranteed.
8. Differences between products
Before changing from one product to another, for example to a product with a different part number, confirm that the change will
not lead to problems. The characteristics of a microprocessing unit or microcontroller unit products in the same group but having
a different part number might differ in terms of internal memory capacity, layout pattern, and other factors, which can affect the
ranges of electrical characteristics, such as characteristic values, operating margins, immunity to noise, and amount of radiated
noise. When changing to a product with a different part number, implement a system-evaluation test for the given product.

Renesas Synergy™ Platform
Development Kit S7G2 (DK-S7G2)
3. Overview
The Synergy Development Kit DK-S7G2 along with the associated software and development tools enables users to
evaluate most features of the Synergy Platform and specifically develop applications using the Synergy S7 Series
Microcontrollers. The Quick Start Guide walks users to setting up the development board and running the Out-of-Box
Demo that the development kit comes pre-programmed with.
4. Description of the Out-of-Box Demo Application
The Out-of-Box Demo application shows a simplified HMI to demonstrate the capabilities of the Graphics LCD
Controller of the S7G2 MCU Group. The application also utilizes GUIX to display static graphics on the QVGA
capacitive touch screen. The graphic elements were developed using the GUIX Studio
(www.renesas.com/synergy/guixstudio) tool. The demo application displays static JPEG images and graphical touch
widgets on the touch screen. The user can touch the widgets to navigate through the different screens of a simulated
thermostat GUI. The user can set up date, time, screen brightness, and so forth.
5. Setting up the DK-S7G2 Board Prior to Running the Out-of-Box Demo
Application
Prior to powering on the board, set the jumpers at the positions mentioned as follows.
In DIP switch S7, move switch 2 (JTAG) to ON position. All other switches in this DIP switch should be set to OFF.
The OFF position is marked by the white dot. In DIP switches S6, S7, S8 and S9, set all switches to OFF.
Figure 2 DIP Switch Settings
6. Powering the DK-S7G2 and Running the Out-of-Box Demo Application
Connect the power supply provided in the DK-S7G2 kit to the main power outlet. Power the DK-S7G2 by connecting the
barrel connector to power socket J1 on the board. The green LED1 next to the power socket will light up.
Note: The red LED8 in the S124 J-Link OB section will flash, indicating that the kit cannot communicate with the
host PC on the debug port. It is not necessary to connect the host PC to the DK-S7G2 to run the Out-of-Box
Demo Application.
Figure 3 Power Supply Connection
After the kit executes an initialization sequence, the touch screen momentarily shows the Synergy logo splash screen
followed by showing simulated temperature and settings button as shown in the following figures. Explore different
menus of the GUI by navigating using the touch widgets.
