Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the MSC1211 evaluation module and software. Topic Page MSC1211 Description ......... . EVM System Overview .
1.2 EVM System Overview A block diagram of the MSC1211EVM is shown in Figure 1−1. During normal operation, programs are developed on the PC and then down- loaded into the MSC1211 for execution. The primary development environ- ment is Raisonance for assembly and C language programming.
1.4 Prototyping Area A prototyping area is provided on the MSC1211EVM. This may be used to in- corporate additional circuitry, such as special reference or conditioning cir- cuits, into the system. All of the signals on the MSC1211 are brought to con- nector pads.
Chapter 2 Getting Started This chapter guides you through unpacking the MSC1211EVM and setting it up so you can begin working with it immediately. Topic Page Unpacking the MSC1211EVM ........
Unpacking the MSC1211EVM 2.1 Unpacking the MSC1211EVM After unpacking the MSC1211EVM kit, check to make sure you received all of the items listed here: MSC1211EVM board 9V “wall−wart” power supply 9-pin, D-sub, male-female serial cable This user’s guide Software CD-ROM 2.2 Default Configuration...

Refer to the RIDE documentation and help menus for more information about how to interact with the RIDE environment. When a program is compiled, it can be immediately downloaded into the MSC1211EVM by using the MSC down- load utility program.
Quick Start Figure 2−2. Tool Advanced Options UnCheck the Prompt before running box. All operands should immediately follow the switch character with no spaces except between options. i.e.: /F{NODE3}.hex /X22 /P1 /H /T If the filename, crystal frequency, or port are not included, a screen will prompt for the values.
Chapter 3 Operation This chapter describes each function of the MSC1211EVM, and how to use the accompanying software to program and use the MSC1211. Topic Page Jumpers ........... . .
Jumpers 3.1 Jumpers Table 3−1 shows the function of each jumper on the EVM. Table 3−1. Jumper/Function Reference Reference Designator Setting/Pin Function Default Subsection JMP1 1 to 2 Short R1 for IDAC0 output Disconnected 3.1.1 JMP2 1 to 2 Short R2 for IDAC1 output Disconnected 3.1.2 JMP3...
3.1.8 J16: Memory Configuration The MSC1211EVM can use either RAM or EEPROM in the socket for U9. The J16 jumper provides the capability to configure the Addressing and Write En- able signals for each use. For use with compatible EEPROMs, the following pins are shorted: 1−2, 3−5 and 4−6.
This pin is the INT0 pin and, therefore, can be setup to cause an inter- rupt when this pin goes low. 3.2.3 SW3: Configuration Switch SW3 provides the means to enable or disable many of the function on the MSC1211EVM. Table 3−2. SW3: Configuration Control Switch Switch Number Function Enables pin P3.5 to control the Yellow LED D5...
Switches 3.2.5 SW5: Emulation and Control Switch SW5 provides the means to break several signals so that they can be con- trolled by an emulator plugged into J14. This switch also provides a means of setting the operating mode of the MSC1211. Table 3−3.
The host PC communicates with the MSC1211EVM through this connector, which is a D-shell type, 9-pin female, pinned out in the usual manner. Some of the flow control lines are used for special purposes by the MSC1211EVM board; these are described in Table 3−4.
I/O Connectors and Signals 3.3.2 J9: Serial1 RS-232 Connector This connector is available for use with the second UART in the MSC1211. Only the TD and RD lines are used. The DTR pin is connected to the DSR pin, and the RTS pin is connected to the CTS pin. In the RS-232 electrical specification, −5V to –15V on a line indicates a log- ic high (mark), and +5V to +15V indicates logic low (space).
3.3.3 J6, JMP5, JMP6, B1: Power Connectors The MSC1211EVM features a flexible power supply. Externally generated power, the onboard regulator circuitry and supplied wall-wart, or a 9V battery can all be used to supply power. Furthermore, the separated analog and digital power supplies can be powered differently;...
3.3.4 J4: Analog Inputs Terminal block J4 is the main analog input to the MSC1211EVM, as is defined in Table 3−8. One terminal is provided for each of the nine MSC1211 differen- tial inputs. Each terminal is connected to the MSC1211 through a 1kΩ resistor.
I/O Connectors and Signals 3.3.6 TP1−6: Test Points The test points can be used to monitor certain signals on the board. For information on the signals connected directly to the MSC1211, consult the MSC1211 datasheet (SBAS267) located at www.ti.com. Table 3−10.TP1−6: Test Points Test Point MSC1211 MSC1211...

The Raisonance integrated software environment (RIDE) and the TI Down- loader program make for a convenient system of program development, download, and execution. Full source code for the MSC1211EVM firmware is included on the CD-ROM. 3.4.3 Power Supply Power is brought into the board through external power connectors JMP5 (pins 2 and 3) and JMP6 (pins 2 and 3), battery connector B1, or unregulated power input J6.
