32 bit Microcontroller Hardware Development Tools
C2000 offers a variety of 32 bit Microcontroller hardware development tools designed to accelerate and simplify the design process. Each tool comes with completely open source hardware schematics and software framework. Combined with controlSUITE software, C2000 tools provide an effective way to evaluate devices and seamlessly transition into application development.
Tools come in two formats – a controlSTICK or a controlCARD.
- controlSTICKs are low-cost, standalone USB-drive style tool that allows instant evaluation. With an on-board emulator, access pins, and example projects, a new user can be up and running with C2000 devices in just a few minutes and no hardware hassles.
- controlCARDs for C2000 puts the processor and all necessary support devices in a standard, pin-compatible DIM-socket daughter card. controlCARDs allow flexible evaluation of an application board with any C2000 MCU series. Learn more about the controlCARD concept.

ControlSTICK USB Evaluation Tool
 The innovative Piccolo controlSTICK allows quick and easy evaluation of all of the advanced capabilities of TI's new Piccolo microcontroller for just $39! Slightly larger than a memory stick, the Piccolo controlSTICK features on board emulation and access to all the I/O pins. Example projects walk through all the functionality of Piccolo, from simply blinking an LED to configuring the high resolution ePWM peripherals.
Kit includes:
- Piccolo controlSTICK USB evaluation tool
- USB extension cable
- Jumpers and patch cords necessary for example projects
- Full version of Code Composer Studio with 32KB code size limit
- Example projects
- Full hardware documentation, including bill of materials, schematics and Gerber files
ControlSTICK Example Projects - The controlSTICK example projects are designed to quickly and easily show the many features of Piccolo. They are installed with the Piccolo controlSTICK software.
| Example Project |
Description |
| Timer-BlinkingLED |
Blinks the LED on the controlSTICK |
| ADC-SimpleDACtoADC |
Continuously samples a single ADC channel which is fed the waveform from a filtered PWM signal. |
| ADC-TriggeredADC |
Triggered ADC conversion using onboard filtered PWM output |
| ADC-ContinuousADC |
Continuously samples the 11 ADC channel available on the controlSTICK. |
| PWM-AsymmetricPWM |
Simple single asymmetric PWM output with period and duty variation. |
| PWM-FilteredHRPWM |
Enables high resolution mode on the PWM and outputs it through the filter on the controlSTICK. |
| PWM-SymmetricPWM |
Simple single symmetric PWM output with period and duty variation |
| PWM-TripPWM |
PWM Trip Zones (HiZ, Forced Hi/Lo) |
| PWM-DeadBandPWM |
Single PWM channel with dead band |
| Comparator-TripComp |
Use comparators to trip PWMs |
| Comparator-CompareValues |
Use comparators to generate CPU interrupt on a cycle by cycle basis |

ControlCARD Tools
 The latest development in C2000 MCU development tools! Starting at $49 controlCARDs feature a C2000 microcontroller and all necessary support devices on one daughter card. Supplying the controlCARD with a single 5 volt supply makes it fully functional. The daughter-card plugs into a simple motherboard connector that gives access to all peripherals on the device and provides an isolated UART for communication. ControlCARDs are all pin compatible, allowing easy experimentation with different C2000 MCUs.
Hardware Developer package includes:
- ControlCARD schematics
- ControlCARD Gerber files
- ControlCARD bill of materials
- Complete pin-out for ControlCARD
DIM100 controlCARDs - pin compatible regardless of C2000 MCU on controlCARD
DIM100 controlCARD Connector - easily design the controlCARD onto any prototype
The Delfino C28346 DIM168 controlCARDprovides access to all C28346 pins - NOT compatible with DIM100 cards or tools.
