[Upgrade to Revision] Solution Toolkit QE for AFE V2.2.0: Development Assistance Tool for Analog Front End (PDF | English, 日本語)
- Support the new device RA Family RA2A2 group
- A [AFE Overview (QE)] view is newly supported in the stand-alone version 
- Improve workflow when working in e² studio

QE for AFE is a development assistance tool that supports the development of embedded systems that handle high-precision sensing by using MCUs that include an analog front end (AFE).

Features

  • GUI configuration of the AFE-related registers
  • Functionality to display the AD conversion result (time waveform and histogram)
  • Functionality to display frequency characteristics for digital filters
  • The tool is available in both a stand-alone version and as an e² studio plug-in
  • The stand-alone tool and e² studio plug-in can be used to share the results of tuning analog circuits through register-setting files
  • The stand-alone tool is capable of tuning analog circuits and acquiring the results of tuning 
    We recommend this version of the tool for hardware engineers.
  • The e² studio plug-in is capable of tuning analog circuits and generating source code that reflects the results of tuning
    We recommend the plug-in for software engineers.

Additional Details

Features

QE for AFE connects with an EK-RA2A1 board via USB serial communication to configure AFE registers on the RA2A1 MCU, check the operations, and display the A/D conversion results.

GUI configuration of the AFE-related registers

The AFE-related registers including connection with analog IPs and PGA gain settings can be configured with a graphical user interface. Through serial communication with the evaluation board via USB, you can check connection with the evaluation board, acquire and configure register values, start an A/D conversion, and acquire the A/D conversion value (A/D conversion is performed in serial scan mode).
