4.1.1 Hardware

Figure 4-1 shows key hardware components. This hardware uses the kit of Bidirectional 400-V/12-V DC/DC Converter Reference Design as the base board and with some modification for peak current mode control.

The key signal connections between the controlCARD and the base board are listed in the Table 4-1

This board provides a lot of jumper options for experimentation but there are some jumpers that must be populated for proper operation of the board. These jumpers that must be populated are listed below:

C:JPG1, E:JPG1, J2, J5, J6, J7, J8, J10, J11, J12, J13, J15, J16, and J19.

Some hardware modifications are required by the customer before running the reference code in this board.

  1. Remove resistor R50 in Figure 4-2. The heavily filtered winding current of the CT on the secondary side is used for average current mode control. For peak current mode control, a relatively low cutoff frequency filter is needed. Existence of R50 can introduce distortion to the current waveform.

Notes: Some magnetic components in the original board are replaced for peak current mode control as shown in Table 4-2.

ControlCARD settings:

Certain settings on the device control card are required to communicate over JTAG and use the isolated UART port. The user must also provide a correct ADC reference voltage. The following settings are required for revision A of the TMS320F280049C control card (refer to the info sheet located at \c2000ware\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD280049C.

  1. Set both ends of S1:A on the control card to ON (up) position to enable JTAG connection to the device and UART connection for SFRA GUI. If this switch is OFF (down), the user cannot use the isolated JTAG built in on the control card, nor can the SFRA GUI communicate with the device.
  2. Connect the USB cable to J1:A to communicate with the device from a host PC on which CCS runs.
  3. For the control loop, use the internal reference of the TMS320F28004x and move the S8 switch to the left (that is, pointing to VREFHI).
  4. For best performance of this reference design, remove the capacitor connected between the isolated grounds on the control card, C26:A.
