TMDSCNCD28379D: Physical layout of the Control Card

Part Number: TMDSCNCD28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335, C2000WARE

I am planning on using connector J9, the 60 pin HIROSE connector, to interface with some PLDs.  I would to get the physical dimensions of the Control Card

showing the mounting hole (one is near the center of the PCB), Edge connector positions, and J9 so that I can layout a motherboard

with my PLDs and a mating connector for J9.  The PLDs need some of the address and data bus signals.

I will also take the SPI signals out to an EtherCAT ESC IC. 

The reason I'm doing this is that we were using the Spectrum Digital eZdsp TMS320F28335 card that is no longer available

so I plan on using the F28379D Control Card with a new adapter card to replace the Spectrum Digital PCB. 

And I have a lot of code for the F28335 DSP.

    Hi John,

    Design files for control cards and launchpads for all devices are available in C2000Ware, when installed in the path C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_x_xx_xx_xx\boards.

    The control card goes into base board (Here is the link: MDSHSECDOCK docking station baseboard) for 5V to power supply to the control card through HSEC connector. This design file contain the female J9 connector required for your purpose. 

    Best, 

    Uttam

    Thanks I appreciate your speedy reply.  I have looked at the .pho files (converted them to pdfs)  for all the layers and assembly drawings but don't see any physical layout of the board with dimensions.  For example the Height/width of the board, location of mounting hole, and location of pin1 of some of the connectors.  My problem is that I can convert the .pho files to pdfs but don't have the PCB layout software that TI is currently using so I can't open the board design files and determine it myself.  By the way what design software is TI using? Altium?  We use the older Protel Design Explorer 99se we bought years ago..

    Altium can be helpful. You can import the Gerber files from C2000 ware to view the PCB layout.

    You are saying that I can open a file with extention .pho or .pcb in CCS?  What are the steps needed?

    I can open the .pho files using a viewer i downloaded called Gerber2pdf.exe and one of the drawings gives the overall size of the PCB but not much else.

    I'm expecting my eval board this week and I'll measure it myself in order to make my mating PCB (I'm not worried about the edge connectors just the mounting hole and location of J9 that gives access to the address/Data bus pins).

    So I'll say this issue is closed.

    Thanks Uttam
