TMS320C2000 Digital Power Experimenter Kit Quick Start

A great way to experiment and learn about digital power control, the Digital Power Experimenter Kit contains a power motherboard which accepts any of the plug-in controlCARDs. It is based on the TI PowerTrain™ modules, small and efficient 10-Amp synchronous buck power stages, which are directly interfaced with and controlled by the TMS320F28x digital signal controller (DSC). The kit is self-contained, providing a static or an active (switched) load. Voltage measurements of both outputs can be taken with the built-in digital voltmeter. The board requires a single 9-V DC supply and has a separately switched and fused rail as the input voltage bus to the Buck modules. This allows for safe, convenient software experimentation and debug without the risk of hardware damage.
