LAUNCHXL-F28377S Overview

1 Introduction

The C2000™ Delfino™ LaunchPad™, LAUNCHXL-F28377S, is a complete low-cost development board

for the Texas Instruments Delfino F2837xS devices. The LAUNCHXL-F28377S kit features all the

hardware and software necessary to develop applications based on the F2837xS microprocessor. The

LaunchPad is based on the superset F28377S device, and easily allows users to migrate to lower cost

F2837xS 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 F2837xS device to the host PC.

Users can download an unrestricted copy of the latest version of Code Composer Studio™ IDE version 6

to write, download, and debug applications on the LAUNCHXL-F28377S 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-F28377S C2000 LaunchPad features include:

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

featuring a USB/UART connection

• Superset F28377S 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

• Dual 5V quadrature encoder interfaces

• CAN Interface with integrated transceiver

• Boot selection switches
