Are there any suggestion for the beginner to design a C6678 board?

Hi all,

I am the beginner for the C6678 and I want to design a C6678 board.

I want to know if there are some deign guides for me to make the C6678 work.

I have many questions about how to design a C6678 board, such as below

1. Which are the sufficient conditions to make the C6678 work? Power sequencing, clocking sequenceing, DDR3, Flash and Bootloader? And what?

2. I really donot understand the how the Smartreflex works. In the EVM board, there are UCD9222 and UCD7242, but does the UCD9222 need to be programmed through PMBUS? And programm what?

  • Hi Feng,

    Please check the below documents -

    Hi HRi,

    I had checked these files. But my question is that if these fetures make the sufficient conditions to make the C6678 work. I just want how to build the minimize C6678 working system.

  • Hi Feng,

    Yes (including the device user guide), the minimized system depends on your interfaces requirement,

    BTW - You can also review the EVM schematics,

    Thanks,
