1 Introduction
The Delfino F28377D controlCARD (TMDSCNCD28377D) from Texas Instruments (TI)
provides
a great way to learn and experiment with the F2837
x device family within TI’s C2000 family of
microcontrollers (MCUs). This 180-pin controlCARD is intended to provide a well-filtered robust
design which is capable of working in most environments. This document goes over the hardware
details of the F28377D controlCARD and explains the functions, locations of jumpers, and
connectors present on the board.
Each controlCARD comes with a “Hardware Developer’s Kit”, a full set of files necessary to
evaluate/develop with a C2000 device. These files include:
Schematics
– Designed in Mentor PADS Logic
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Layout PCB files
– Designed in Mentor Layout
Gerber files
NOTE: this kit is designed to explore the functionality of the F2837x microcontroller. Even though
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 final customer’s system.
