Introduction
The MT-DB-X3 is a development board for the 64-pin Atmel AVR XMEGA A3U, A3BU, C3, and D3 microcontrollers. It can be powered from USB, the PWR IN header, or from a 3V coin cell (CR2032 holder optional). The inputs have PTC resettable fuses (500mA) and schottky diodes. Voltage is regulated by the onboard 3.3V, 250mA, extremely low quiescent current (2uA) LDO regulator that supports up to 16V DC input. Optionally, a 5V, 500mA low quiescent current (23uA) LDO regulator can also be installed, which supports up to 24V input. Along with the 5V regulator, an 8-bit auto-direction sensing level shifter is installed, to provide level conversion between XMEGA Vcc and 5V (or 3.3V). Also mounted is a mini USB connector, green LED, 16MHz crystal, 32.768KHz RTC crystal, reset/user button, TWI (I2C) pullups, and a bootloader jumper. A USB DFU bootloader comes pre-installed (except D3). The board has 48 main dual inline header pins with 100 mil pin spacing and 900 mil row spacing which allows for mounting on a perfboard (or barely on a breadboard). There are 8 more pins available on an inboard header (PORT F). The PDI/SPI header can be used with an external programmer, or be reconfigured to be used as a SPI master or slave. There are 36 solder jumpers for configuration flexibility. The pcb measures approx. 2.9” x 1.1” (73mm x 28mm) and 0.062” (1.6mm) thick. There are 2 3mm mounting holes.

Documentation
Schematic
USB DFU Bootloader (except D3)
MT-DB-X3_DFU_Bootloaders_104.zip Revision 104MT-DB-X3_DFU_Bootloaders_104.zip contains the USB DFU bootloader that comes pre-installed. It is compatible with FLIP for Windows and dfu-programmer for Linux. More information can be found in the User Guide
Note that the DFU bootloader is not currently available for the 128c3. The bootloader from Atmel does not currently work.
Blink Demo
MT-DB-X3_Blink.zip
MT-DB-X3_Blink.zip
contains the blink demo hex file that comes pre-installed, as well as
the source code. It simply blinks the LED at 1Hz using the 16MHz crystal
as the clock source.
Drivers (except D3)
FLIP
is a graphical utility for Windows used to load firmware into the
XMEGA. FLIP supplies the USB DFU bootloader driver. Download FLIP 3.4.7
or higher from Atmel
and install. Older versions may not support the latest XMEGA variants
(A3U or C3). Once FLIP is installed, the USB DFU drivers can be loaded.
Install the boot jumper and power the board (or press reset). This will
start the DFU bootloader. Windows will then prompt you for the driver,
which is located in the Program Files/Atmel/Flip 3.4.7/usb directory.
Point the installer to that directory and install.Legal

| Shipping Method | Delivery | Tracking | Notes |
| USPS First-Class Mail International Flat (padded envelope) | 1.5 to 2.5 weeks to most countries (4 to 5 weeks max.) | A tracking number is provided, but it will only work while the flat is in the US. | If
you select the lower cost shipping option, your item will ship in a flat
padded envelope (a flat). In many countries, flats are sorted and
transported separately from packages (for example, in bags full of other
flats placed on racks). When handled in this way, the chance for damage
is very low (lower than for small boxes, in my experience, which are
often transported along with much larger boxes and thus more likely to
be crushed). If you need stronger packaging, choose the First-Class
Package (small box) option below. |
| USPS First-Class Mail International Package (small box) | 1.5 to 2.5 weeks to most countries (4 to 5 weeks max.) | Package
tracking is available for the following countries: Australia, Israel,
Belgium, Latvia, Canada, Lithuania, Croatia, Luxembourg*, Denmark*,
Malaysia, Estonia, Malta, Finland, Netherlands, France*, New Zealand,
Germany, Portugal*, Gibraltar*, Singapore, Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, Spain, Hungary, and Switzerland. For all other countries, a tracking number is provided, but it will only work while the package is in the US. * tracking service temporarily suspended on June 12, 2014. | If you select this shipping option, your item will ship in a small cardboard box. We will use a ULINE S-16519 (or larger, if needed) box, which features triple wall sides and double wall front and bottom. |
| USPS First-Class Mail Parcel (USA) | 2 to 5 days | A tracking number is provided. | If you select this shipping option, your item will ship in a small padded envelope (not a flat). |
| USPS Priority Mail Small Flat-Rate Box (USA) | 1 to 3 days | A tracking number is provided. | If you select this shipping option, your item will ship in a USPS Small Flat-Rate Box. |
| Any shipping taxes, VAT, duty, or any other fees are the responsibility of the buyer. UK residents: Orders £15.00 and over will incur an £8.00 fee from Royal Mail as well as 20% VAT. Germany: Orders €22.00 and over are subject to 19% VAT. Other EU residents: Orders under €22.00 (or equivalent local currency) are not subject to VAT in most EU countries.
