Introduction
As of January 2016, all kits based on the F28377D MCU will now be replaced with the new F28379D
superset device. These two MCUs are identical except for the addition of the CLB on the F28379D MCU
to enable Position Manager. If the CLB is not a requirement in your application, that feature can be left
untouched and the MCU will perform like the F28377D.
Each controlCARD comes with a Hardware Developer’s Kit, a full set of files necessary to evaluate and
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.

NOTE:
The Letter B on the controlCARD's Serial Number sticker denotes ASSY rev – B.

Warnings/Notes/Errata
Notes for all controlCARDs:
•
The F28379D controlCARD supports USB host/device connectivity. However, the micro-USB port, J8,
is not isolated from the board ground. Care should be taken when this controlCARD is being used in a
high-power application and this USB port is also being used. Note that external USB isolation buffers
may be required for these types of applications.
•
The F28379D Experimenter’s Kit ships with a USB cable and is designed to be powered via USB.
However, in extreme cases the board/controlCARD may require more power than the 5V @ 500mA a
computer’s USB port can provide (<0.01% of use cases). This is especially true when additional
circuitry has been added to the docking station.
In such cases, it is recommended to use an external 5V power supply (2.5 mm inner diameter x 5.5
mm outer diameter) and plug it into J1. A compatible supply could be the: Phihong PSAC05R-050(P)-
R-C2 + Phihong RPBAG.

In Boot-from-SCI mode the MCU will, by default, expect GPIO84 and GPIO85 to be the IO pins
responsible for sending the program to the device. These GPIOs are different from the GPIOs that
connect to the isolated USB-to-serial interface via the FTDI chip, which uses GPIO28 and GPIO29. To
use GPIO28 and 29 instead:
–
Change the boot mode to Get Mode and then, in your main flashed code, you can decide to call the
bootloader for SCIBoot IOOption2 (in the bootROM) always, or based on whatever is desired.
