1.4 Using the F28003x LaunchPad
The recommended steps for using the F28003x LaunchPad are:
1.
to begin running the LaunchPad demo program.
Within just a
few minutes, you can control and monitor the F28003x LaunchPad with the pre-programmed quick start
application. Additionally,
included in this document can be helpful if there are any issues
that might quickly be addressed.
2.
Experiment with BoosterPacks.
This development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack
pinout standard. It has two independent BoosterPack sites to enable a variety of expansion opportunities,
such as two boosterpacks being used simultaneously. For more information about the TI LaunchPad and
BoosterPack standard, see the TI LaunchPad web page at
.
3.
Take the first step towards developing your own control applications.
The F28003x LaunchPad
is supported by the
development package. After C2000Ware is installed, look for
\F28003x\examples\launchxl_F280039C in the installation directory to find the pre-configured example
applications for this board. Any of the other examples found within the \F28003x\examples directory can
be used with minor modifications to run on the LaunchPad as well. For more details about software
development, see
a. For applications, features and benefits information, see the
applications, features, and benefits.
technical article featuring C2000 Real-Time Microcontrollers
take advantage of the scalability and sustainability benefits these devices bring.
4.
Customize and integrate the hardware to align to your end application.
This development kit can be
used as a reference for building your own custom boards and circuits based on C2000 F28003x series
microcontrollers. The LaunchPad also functions as a foundation for expansion with custom BoosterPacks
and other circuits. This document can serve as a starting point for such projects.
5.
Get Trained.
Review and download hours of written and video training materials on C2000 Real-time
Microcontrollers and related LaunchPads.

1.5 BoosterPacks
The LAUNCHXL-F280039C provides a simple and inexpensive way to develop applications with the F28003x
series microcontroller. BoosterPacks are pluggable add-on boards for the LaunchPad ecosystem that follow
a pin-out standard created by Texas Instruments. The TI and third-party ecosystem of BoosterPacks greatly
expands the peripherals and potential applications that you can explore with the F28003x LaunchPad.
Some examples of BoosterPacks that are compatible with the F28003x LaunchPad are listed in
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of hardware supported BoosterPacks.

BoosterPack/Board
Application and Usage
Features a 48-V/10-A three-phase GaN inverter with precision in-line shunt-based
phase current sensing for accurate control of precision drives such as servo drives.
BOOSTXL-DRV8323RS
BOOSTXL-DRV8323RH
DRV8323RS/H Three-Phase, 15A smart gate driver with buck, shunt amps (SPI or
Hardware Interface) Evaluation Module.
FSI adapter board assists in understanding the functionality of the C2000’s FSI
communications peripheral. Enables evaluation of the peripheral for decentralized
and point-to-point real-time control system use cases, such as those in industrial
drives, servo, sensing networks, and solar system and industrial power.
15A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8353RS gate driver and
CSD19532Q5B NexFET™ MOSFETs.
DRV8316REVM provides three half-H-bridge integrated MOSFET drivers for
driving a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor with 8-A Peak current drive,
for 12-V/24-V DC rails or battery powered applications.
