TMS320F28335: Modifying the code of TI Reference design for other applications

Prashant Mishra

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: POWERSUITE, C2000WARE, SFRA

Hello Support Team,

Are there any resources that go through Powersuite and all other power supply designer apps in detail such that I can learn how to safely convert an available code from TI's reference design to a code suitable for my application?

I've been working on designing an EV Charger that utilizes a DAB Converter like that in TIDA10054. However, my power stage is designed by myself and is of only 5kW unlike TIDA010054 which is of 10kW. Likewise, my operating frequency is also different. Also, the control board I will be using is F28335 unlike F28049 used in the reference design. So, I was wondering if I can still make use of the Power Suite GUI or the Codes from the reference design for my application.

Any suggestions, risks, resources regarding this would be highly appreciated. Also, if there is a webinar or training video that goes through complete hardware testing for any of the TI's reference Design using Digital Power SDK tools, then please share.

Thank you!

Regards,
Prashant

Prashant, you could try to modify dab_user_settings.h (\C2000Ware_DigitalPower_SDK_4_01_00_00\solutions\tida_010054) based on your HW.

Hi Navaneeth,

Thank you for confirming that this can be done. Can you give some more insight on what things might i want to take care of? Is the dab_user_settimgs.h only file I have to care about ?

Prashant, you may also need to change linker command file f28004x_flash_lnk.cmd to F28335. Is there a specific reason why you want to use F28335 instead of 28004x ?

Thank you for responding!

Actually f28335 is the board available in my lab and I have experience programming it is using Simulink that's why.

Also, the control function and codes from reference designs are very reliable and has all the functions as my necessity, so I thought trying to make use of that will be a good choice.
