LAUNCHXL-F28069M Overview

1 Introduction

The C2000™ Piccolo™ LaunchPad™, LAUNCHXL-F28069M, is a complete low-cost development board

for the Texas Instruments Piccolo F2806x devices and InstaSPIN technology. The LAUNCHXL-F28069M

kit features all the hardware and software necessary to develop applications based on the F2806x

microprocessor. The LaunchPad is based on the superset F28069M device, and easily allows users to

migrate to lower cost F2806x devices once the design needs are known. It offers an on-board JTAG

emulation tool allowing direct interface to a PC for easy programming, debugging, and evaluation. In

addition to JTAG emulation, the USB interface provides a UART serial connection from the F2806x device

to the host PC.

Users can download an unrestricted version of Code Composer Studio™ IDE version 6 to write,

download, and debug applications on the LAUNCHXL-F28069M board. The debugger is unobtrusive,

allowing the user to run an application at full speed with hardware breakpoints and single stepping

available while consuming no extra hardware resources.

As shown in Figure 1, the LAUNCHXL-F28069M C2000 LaunchPad features include:

• USB debugging and programming interface via a high-speed galvanically isolated XDS100v2 emulator

featuring a USB/UART connection

• Superset F28069M device that allows applications to easily migrate to lower cost devices

• Two user LEDs

• Device reset pushbutton

• Easily accessible device pins for debugging purposes or as sockets for adding customized extension

boards

• InstaSPIN library in ROM, allowing implementation of InstaSPIN-MOTION and InstaSPIN-FOC

solutions

• Dual 5V quadrature encoder interfaces

• CAN Interface with integrated transceiver

• Boot selection switches
