3 Getting Familiar with the controlCARD
3.1 F28377D controlCARD Features
Delfino F28377D Microcontroller
– High performance C2000 microcontroller is located
on the controlCARD.
180pin HSEC8 Edge Card Interface
– Allows for compatibility with all of C2000’s 180pin
controlCARD based application kits and controlCARDs. Compatibility with 100pin
controlCARDs can be accomplished using the TMDSADAP180TO100 adapter card (sold
separately).
Built-in Isolated JTAG Emulation
–
An xds100v2 emulator provides a convenient
interface to Code Composer Studio without additional hardware.
Flipping a switch
allows an external JTAG emulator to be used.
Connectivity
–
The controlCARD contains connectors that allow the user to experiment
with USB, a microSD card, and isolated UART/SCI with the F2837x MCU.
Key Signal Breakout
–
Most GPIO, 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 several
ADC input pins.
3.2 Assumed Operating Conditions
This kit is assumed to run at standard room conditions. The EVM should run at approximately
Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure (SATP) with moderate-to-low humidity.
