F28379D controlCARD

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28379D, TMDSHSECDOCK

What is a control card and how is it different from using a Piccolo C2000 DSP with GIO pins?

I'll be using a F28379D controlCARD  with the delfino DSP to control my inverter using digital controls implemented in Simulink.

Thanks !

    Shubhangi,

    Using a C2000 microcontroller(for example TMS320F28379D) is not as simple as providing power. There is a host of support circuitry required to enable the device to power on, load code, and run.

    When a customer is evaluating using C2000 designing and building a custom PCB to house this circuitry can be a costly endeavor. For this reason we provide EValuation Modules(EVMs).

    One of the types of EVMs we provide is a controlCARD. The one you are looking at offers an on-board emulator, and has been designed to connect to a TMDSHSECDOCK docking station to breakout signals as well as to provide power to the controlCARD.


    Another difference is that the controlCARDs are designed to work a standard temperature and pressure, while the TMS320F28xx device it uses off has a much wider temperature tolerance. Some cost considerations have been made, but overall controlCARDs have good performance and is a good example of how to develop an application specific board.

    Regards,
