TMS320F28379D: control card J9 issue

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, C2000WARE, TMDSCNCD28379D,

Hi

I had F28379D control card and I need EMIF, SPI peripherals. The datasheet show me it in J9  like picture below as 

I never see this connector.

What kind of connector should I have?

Is this like FPC 0.5 30P connector?

Another question. Does controlSUITE have example code to drive J9 peripherals?

  • Chi Min,

    J9 on the controlCARD is a high density header for board-to-board or board-to-FPC connections.  It is the one that you have circled in the picture.

    As described in the datasheet, "the connector which mates with J9 is the Hirose DF40HC(4.0)-60DS-0.4V(51)."  So the connector that you want to place on your custom board is DF40HC(4.0)-60DS-0.4V(51).  The part number of controlCARD J9, DF40C-60DP-0.4V(51), is documented in the BOM.

    The controlCARD design files are distributed with both controlSUITE and C2000Ware.

    • \ti\c2000\C2000Ware_XXXX\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28379D\

    There is an EMIF Application Note with an EMIF reference design that uses the high density header with support files located in C2000Ware.

    There is also a TI Design for EtherCAT that uses the high density header with support files located in controlSUITE.

  • Thank you for your help.
  • You're welcome. Let us know if you need additional assistance.
  • According to the TI documents, J9 on the TMS320F28379D controlCARD has all the required EMIF2 signals available.
    Can you make sure all the marked signals in the attached image are free for exclusive use by the Ethernet Controller and none of the alternative (pin-mux'ed) functions is used?

  • Chi Min,

    Your application will have full control over the pins. Some of the signals may be routed to multiple endpoints, but you will be able to determine how the pins are used.
