Cart Description
TMS570 controlCARDs from Texas Instruments are ideal products for initial software development and short run builds for system prototypes, test stands, and many other projects that require easy access to high-performance controllers. The controlCARDs are complete board-level modules that utilize an industry-standard DIMM form factor to provide a low-profile single-board controller solution. The controlCARDs use the same 100-pin connector footprint to provide the analog and digital I/Os on-board controller and are reasonably interchangeable. The TMS570LS12 controlCARD includes the TPS65381 safety companion PMIC. The host system needs to provide a minimum single 6V power rail to the controlCARD via the barrel connector for it to be fully functional. The control card can be used as part of a motor control kit and offers additional control, connectivity and safety evaluation features.
