- F28P65X Microcontroller – High performance C2000 microcontroller is located on the controlCARD.
- 180-pin HSEC8 Edge Card Interface – Allows for compatibility with all of C2000 180-pin controlCARD-based application kits and controlCARDs. Compatibility with 100-pin controlCARDs can be accomplished using the TMDSADAP180TO100 adapter card (sold separately).
- Built-in Isolated JTAG Emulation – An XDS110 emulator provides a convenient interface to Code Composer Studio™ IDE without additional hardware. Flipping a switch allows an external JTAG emulator to be used.
- Built-in Isolated Power Supply - Passes the
5V supply from the USB-C connector through an isolation barrier. Allows for the
controlCARD to be completed powered and operated from the USB-C connector. The
F28P65X is fully isolated from the USB port.
- Automatic Power Supply Switch - The
controlCARD automatically switches to external 5V power when present. No
additional configuration is required.
- Connectivity – The controlCARD contains connectors that allow the user to experiment with isolated universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)/SCI with the F28P65x MCU.
- Key Signal Breakout – Most GPIO, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and other key signals routed to hard gold connector fingers.
- Robust Power Supply Filtering – Single 5V
input supply powers an on-card 3.3V LDO. All MCU inputs are then decoupled using
LC filters near the device.
- ADC Clamping – ADC inputs are clamped by protection diodes.
- Anti-Aliasing Filters – Noise filters (small RC filters) can be easily added on ADC input pins.
The controlCARD uses DP83826 10/100M Ethernet PHY
for EtherCAT communication. This PHY has reduced and more deterministic round trip
(TX+RX) latency of < 210ns ± 2ns. In addition the XI to TX_CLK clock phase delay
is ± 2ns. These features, along with robust EMI/EMC performance, make DP83826E/I an
excellent choice for real time applications. For more details, see DP83826
