3.3 Using the controlCARD

In order for the controlCARD to work, the controlCARD’s MCU must be powered. This is most often done by inputting 5 V through the HSEC connector via an accompanying baseboard. For example, if using a TMDSHSECDOCK docking station baseboard, 5VDC should be input into the docking station’s J1 or J17. Then, S1 needs to be toggled to the appropriate position.

Optionally, the MCU could also be powered via the micro-USB connector on the controlCARD.

Based on the way the controlCARD will be used, additional hardware settings are necessary, see Table 3-1.

WARNING:

When the controlCARD is used in a high-voltage setup, it is the user’s responsibility to confirm that the voltages and isolation requirements are identified and understood prior to energizing the board or simulation. When energized, the controlCARD or components connected to the controlCARD should not be touched. Furthermore, the capacitor A:C31 should be removed to minimize the possibility of leakage current flowing across the isolation barrier of the controlCARD.

Code Composer Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used to debug and develop software for the C2000 series of MCUs. CCS can be downloaded from the following link: https://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio.

For users new to C2000’s F2837x series of devices and CCS, TI’s C2000 Academy provides several easy-to-follow training modules and hands-on lab exercises to help users get started quickly.

The following PDF documents are provided to describe where each of the F28379D MCU’s pins will appear on the controlCARD connector/docking station:

  • TMDSCNCD28379D_180cCARD_pinout_R1_3 – tells where each MCU pin will go on the HSEC controlCARD connector or the 120/180-pin controlCARD docking station.
  • TMDSCNCD28379D_100DIMmap_R1_3 – tells where each MCU pin will go to on the DIM100 controlCARD connector or the DIM100 docking station. This assumes that the TMDSADAP180TO100 adapter card is used.
