1 F2800157 controlCARD Information Guide

The F2800157 controlCARD (TMDSCNCD2800157) from Texas Instruments (TI) provides a great way to learn and experiment with the F280015x devices. The F280015x device is a member of TI’s C2000™ family of microcontrollers (MCUs). This 120-pin controlCARD is intended to provide a well-filtered robust design that is capable of working in most environments. This document provides the hardware details of the F2800157 controlCARD and explains the functions, locations of jumpers, and connectors present on the board.

1 Introduction

Figure 1-1 F2800157 controlCARD

Each controlCARD comes with a Hardware Developer’s Kit, which is a full set of files necessary to evaluate and develop with a C2000 device. These files include:

Schematics – Designed in Altium
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Layout PCB files - Designed in Altium
Gerber files

The Hardware Developer's Kit for the controlCARD can be found in the C2000Ware at the following location:
- <install directory>\c2000\C2000Ware_x_xx_xx_xx\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD2800157\Rx_x

Note: This kit is designed to explore the functionality of the F280015x microcontroller. The controlCARD can be treated as a good reference design and 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 customer’s system.

2 Hardware Quick Setup Guide

The controlCARD can be completely powered and operated from the USB-C connector. In this stand-alone mode the on-board isolated power supply will provide power to the F2800157 device; no additional hardware is required. Optionally, an external 5 V supply can be provided to power the F2800157 device. For a detailed explanation of the hardware configuration, see Section 4.3.

WARNING:

When the controlCARD is used in a high-voltage setup, it is the user’s responsibility to confirm that the voltages and isolation requirements are identified and understood prior to energizing the board or simulation. When energized, the controlCARD or components connected to the controlCARD cannot be touched. Furthermore, the capacitor C7:A must be removed to minimize the possibility of leakage current flowing across the isolation barrier of the controlCARD.
