TMS320F280039C: operating temperature range spec for the control card

Hi Kevin, 

The ControlCard is only an evaluation platform typically used for code-development and is not meant to be used in an end-product. Is there a particular motivation for asking this information? It is intended to operate at STP, or ~20C. We do not require all devices on the evaluation kit board to run across the same temperature range as the F28003x device, so we do not recommend this for use in an end product. The PCB material, should support a wide temperature range, but other devices on the board may deteriorate. 

The F28003x device follows the specifications listed in the F28003x Datasheet. But you would likely be more interested in the BOM for the board which can be found in the C2000Ware SDK ([C2000Ware]\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD280039C) or product page. Many of the materials are listed as Grade 0, but there are other components that have a narrower range as I suggested. 

Best Regards,

Allison

we're using this for tida-01606 power converter.  just want to know what is the upper operating temperature limit we should recommend to our customers when they test the reference design

Hi Kelvin, 

Understood. Let me ask another colleague on this to see if we can offer any other input here.

Best Regards,

Allison

can you have someone help with determining the upper operating temperature limit of the control card?
