controlCARD contention on TMDSHVMTRINSPIN

MotorWare.exe points to

C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28069ISO_v1_0\R0_3

but controlSUITE was recently updated with

C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28069ISO_v1_1\R0_4

most of the MISO versions don't have the USB Host populated....I think this may have / may be changing shortly so the instaspin version includes the USB Host on the contolCARD as well.  The InstaSPIN versions of the 6x silicion DO have USB included.

For posterity,

Most of the TMDSCNCD28069MISO that have shipped are R0_2

Most everything now should be being built using R0_4, which adds the USB Host circuitry.

Thanks for the info and your patience. I recently bought the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN, hopefully, the card is not old! That said, several things are unclear:
1. The card has "RELEASE 0.2" on it (as does my other from a different kit, though only this "newer" one has J200 populated). Does "RELEASE 0.2" equate to the "REV0.3" in the controlcard document?
2. There is a note that "All control cards shipping from Nov’11 (R0.3) will have 450V isolation
capability." Does this mean my RELEASE 0.2 needs no mod, or did I get a card that is 2.5 years old or more?
3. If indeed, my control card needs the mod, then I certainly am unable to locate C276 on the card or R0_2 BOM.
4. It is not real clear why the kit has both internal and a supplied external low voltage AC adapter. The instructions seem to favor using the adapter. Any idea why?
5. There is another Errata on the new CC2806x-InfoSheet_Rev0.4_20Jan2014, however, until I know my actual board rev and it's associated schematic, I cannot tell if it is needed.

Thanks again, Bill

Bill,

I'm trying to get the engineer who owns this card to explain. My understanding is that they updated the PCB and build instructions for the TMDSCNCD28069ISO (note: no M) and the manufacturer used the updated build for R0_3 with the R0_2 PCB to manufacture TMDSCNCD28069MISO

R0_4 I believe was just an update to get both the 69ISO and 69MISO onto the same build package.

I am checking with the manufacturer to see when / if the R0_4 has been building for 69MISO.  I don't think I've seen one yet, but we build thousands of the cards at a time, so we probably had stock already.

1. I believe what you have is an R0_2 PCB built as an R0_3 (with proper isolation)

2. Your card is fine, no mods needed. Your card is not 2.5 yrs old, it was likely build in 2013

3. no mod required

4. We recommed for development to run with high voltage DC Bus of 50-350V and to provide the low voltage power with 15V supply when possible, better for noise I believe.  It is possible to run everything off of the AC Line (or just DC Bus). 

5. Your controlCARD does NOT have the improper cap, it IS properly isolated.

Thanks Chris! Before plugging the USB into the high-voltage kit, may I give you my plan?

There are 3 USB connections on the system. Fortunately, there are three different connectors! I plan on using the JTAG one on the ControlCARD to work through initial labs. This port, like the other two, is isolated from high voltage.

My understanding of the functionality of the USB ports (Please correct if needed):

1. The kit port has an emulator and was designed before the better emulator found on later 28069 cards.

2. There is a sometimes populated host port on the card that is used when you want the MCU to control an external USB device.

3. There is a JTAG port on the card that connects to the MCU's emulator.

Thanks! Bill
