3.2.3.1.2.1 Hardware Setup

1. To get started with the TIDM-1001 board, the user must have a TMS320F280025C controlCARD with a mini-USB cable, a 12-V DC bench power supply, and a computer with CCS version 9.3 or newer, the latest version of Digital Power SDK, and CCS SysConfig utility installed.
2. Make sure that all jumpers on the TIDM-1001 board are correctly installed as listed in the Section 3.1.
3. Insert the controlCARD in the 120-pin connector J3. Connect a current limited 12-V DC bench power supply between TP25 and TP26 with correct polarity. Connect an isolated, 400-V programmable DC power source to the 400-V input connector (J9 to J12) and 12-V load to the 12-V output connector (J10 and J11). Make sure that this load does not exceed the board ratings. Connect a USB B-to-A cable between the PC and the controlCARD. Do not turn ON any of the power supplies at this time.

NOTE

While this system can operate under No Load condition, it is recommended to use a load (I_out) of at least 5 A for the open-loop tests.

Use an external air cooling fan (CFM rating > 50) directed at the board when operating with loads (I_out) of 30 A and higher

4. Make sure position two of the controlCARD switch A:SW1 is in ON position in the SFRA setup step.
