Stellaris® LM3S818 controlCARD Module Overview

The Stellaris® LM3S818 controlCARD module is a DIMM form-factor module that can be used

standalone or with a range of baseboards to accelerate evaluation and development.

Texas Instruments offers a range of controlCARD baseboards for motor and power-control

application. In most cases. these are available as complete kits that include a controlCARD

module and a baseboard. The Stellaris MDL-LM3S8

Hardware Description

In addition to an LM3S818 microcontroller, the controlCARD module includes some simple

multiplexing logic and an integrated Stellairs in-circuit debug interface (ICDI). This chapter

describes how the hardware interfaces to the microcontroller. Figure 2-1 shows the controlCARD

module block diagram.

Functional Description

This section provides a detailed description of the LM3S818 controlCARD module hardware.

Microcontroller and Interfaces (Schematic Page 2)

LM3S818 Microcontroller

The Stellaris LM3S818 is an ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller with 64-KB flash memory, 8-

KB SRAM, 50-MHz operation, Motion control PWMs, and a wide range of other peripherals. Refer

to the LM3S818 data sheet for complete device details.

The LM3S818 microcontroller is factory-programmed with a simple quickstart demo program. The

quickstart program resides in on-chip flash memory and runs each time power is applied, unless

the quickstart has been replaced with a user program.

DIMM Edge Connector

Most of the Stellaris microcontroller GPIO signals are routed to the DIMM edge connector.

The controlCARD module is compatible with standard DIMM sockets, such as Molex Part number

87630-1001.

User LEDThe board also has a green User LED connected to GPIO PB6. This GPIO signal is also used to

control the multiplexing of the CCP (Timer) signals and may not be available in some baseboards

applications.

Signal Multiplexing

The DRV8312 and DRV8301 baseboards have Hall-inputs on different DIMM pins. U11

multiplexes these signals under the control of GPIO PB6.

Hardware Description

Reset The RESET signal into the LM3S818 microcontroller connects to an R-C network (R1/C8) and to

the ICDI circuit for a debugger-controlled reset.

External reset is asserted (active low) under any one of these conditions:

Power-on reset

By the ICDI circuit when instructed by the debugger (this capability is optional, and may not be

supported by all debuggers).
