1 F280025C controlCARD Information Guide

The F280025C controlCARD (TMDSCNCD280025C) from Texas Instruments (TI) provides a great way to learn and experiment with F28002x devices. The F28002x devices are members of TI’s C2000™ family of microcontrollers (MCUs). This 120-pin controlCARD is intended to provide a well-filtered robust design that is capable of working in most environments. This document provides the hardware details of the F280025C controlCARD and explains the functions, locations of jumpers, and connectors present on the board.

1 Introduction

Figure 1-1 F280025C controlCARD

Each controlCARD comes with a Hardware Developer’s Kit, which is a full set of files necessary to evaluate and develop with a C2000 device. These files include:

Schematics – Designed in Altium
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Layout PCB files - Designed in Altium
Gerber files

The Hardware Developer's Kit for the controlCARD can be found in the C2000Ware at the following location:

<install_directory>\c2000\C2000Ware_x_xx_xx_xx\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD280025C\Revx

Note:

This kit is designed to explore the functionality of F28002x microcontrollers. The controlCARD can be treated as a good reference design; it is not intended to be a complete customer design. Full compliance to safety, EMI/EMC, and other regulations are left to the designer of the customer’s system.

2 Hardware Quick Setup Guide

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 C26:A should be removed to minimize the possibility of leakage current flowing across the isolation barrier of the controlCARD.

Connect and power embedded emulator.
1. Connect USB-B "mini" connector to J1:A
Provide power to the isolated F280025C device.
1. Insert the TMDSCNCD280025C controlCARD into a TMDSHSECDOCK, or other compatible docking station.
2. Connect USB-B "mini" connector to J17 of the TMDSHSECDOCK.
3. Flip S1 to the "USB-ON" position. D3 of the controlCARD should illuminate.
