HIL Analog I/O

Up to 24 analog outputs (AOs), and up to 3 analog inputs (AIs), are routed from the DIN41612 socket (HIL side) to the HSEC 180 connector (DSP side).

To protect against overvoltage conditions, HIL analog outputs feature series 120 Ω RZ1-RZ24 resistors that, together with TI Control Card ADC protection diodes (U6-U11), act as a 0-3.3 V clamping circuit.

HSEC 180 Connector

The HSEC 180 connector is a standardized connector for Texas Instruments 180 pin Control Cards. Note that, while various cards share the same pinout, the HIL DSP 180 Interface was designed and tested only with the following Control Cards in mind:

Power Supply

The DSP 180 Interface is powered by a 5 V rail, supplied directly from HIL User PSU section, or from the onboard 5 V buck regulator (powered externally from a 12 V DC power supply).

For use cases when the Control Card is used separately from the HIL, in a standalone configuration, it is possible to configure the HIL DSP 180 Interface Board to be powered from an external power source, via an onboard selector switch. This turns the HIL DSP180 Interface Board into a generic Control Card development board.

When this selector switch, labeled DSP PWR, is in the "HIL" position, the 5 V rail of TI Control Card is supplied directly from the HIL 5 V rail. In this mode, no external adapter is required.

When the selector switch is set to "EXT", the board is powered from an external 12 V DC power supply, with the following indicator LED status indicators:
  • PGOOD (ON when rail is lower than 5 V or output current higher than 1 A)
  • PWR (ON when 5 V rail is present)

CAN bus

The Control Card DSP’s CAN-A module (GPIO-30/CANRX-A and GPIO-31/CANTX-A) is connected to the onboard CAN transceiver, SN65HVD232D from Texas Instruments, which forms the 3.3 V CAN bus as shown on the Figure 2.

The CAN bus is accessible over the RJ45 connector and it is terminated with two 120 Ω resistors. If the external 3.3 V CAN bus is connected to the HIL DSP 180 Interface CAN bus, care must be taken to remove the redundant terminating resistors on both buses. On the DSP 180 Interface, this is done by removing the RSC2 (0 Ω) resistor.

JTAG

The JTAG section consists of the JTAG header, with a pinout shown on the Figure 3.
