Overview
Description
Smart Analog Easy Starter is a GUI evaluation tool for designing the analog front-end circuit of Smart Analog devices and editing analog circuit data while observing the waveforms on a computer screen. Circuit design can be performed easily by operating a mouse on a computer screen using a Smart Analog evaluation board manufactured by Tessera Technology.
Features
- GUI tool for Smart Analog evaluation board
- Perform circuit design and customization using a circuit block diagram style GUI.
- The circuit data (register values, etc.) you create can be displayed in a list, saved, and restored
- AFE register files created in the Renesas VA online simulator can be imported*1
- Edit circuit data while observing waveforms in Easy Starter
- Generate C source code for circuit design*2
- Generated C source code is compatible with files generated by SA-Designer (project not registered to CS+)
- Notes:
- AFE register files created in Renesas VA cannot be imported to Smart Analog Easy Starter 101.
- Except interface C source code.

AI-generated Summary:
This section explains how to solder pin sockets and headers to the RSK CPU board and TSA-OP-IC101 board for proper connection. Pin sockets on the RSK CPU board are soldered facing upward, while pin headers on the TSA-OP-IC101 board face downward. It also covers jumper settings, specifically setting the J5 jumper on the RSK CPU board to supply 5V power to the TSA-OP-IC101 board. Instructions ensure correct mounting orientation and jumper configuration for proper operation.

AI-generated Summary:
The hardware setup for sensor evaluation using Smart Analog Easy Starter requires a sensor board, evaluation board, computer, and USB cable. Power can come from USB or an external supply, with external power recommended to reduce noise. The sensor output is amplified and A/D converted by Smart Analog IC and RL78/G1A, then sent to the computer via USB for display. Software setup involves launching Easy Starter, detecting the virtual serial port, and configuring analog circuit parameters in the Chip Config window.
