Introduction
Figure 1. TMDSDOCK280049M Experimenter’s Kit
The Piccolo F280049C controlCARD from Texas Instruments (TI) provides a great way to learn and
experiment with the F28004x device family within TI’s C2000 family of microcontrollers (MCUs). This
controlCARD, which uses the 120HSEC controlCARD connector, is intended to provide a well-filtered
robust design capable of working in most environments. This document describes the hardware details of
the F280049C 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 and
develop with a C2000 device. These files can be found in C2000Ware and include:
•
Schematics – Designed in Altium
•
Bill of Materials (BOM)
•
Layout PCB files – Designed in Altium
•
Gerber files
This controlCARD can be obtained by ordering:
•
TMDXDOCK280049M – controlCARD, docking station, and cables necessary for evaluation
NOTE:
This kit is designed to explore the functionality of the F28004x microcontroller. The
controlCARD can be treated as a good reference design, but 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 system.
