2 Hardware Quick Setup Guide

The controlCARD can be completely powered and operated from the USB-C connector. In this stand-alone
mode, the on-board isolated power supply provides power to the F2800137 device; no additional hardware is
required. Optionally, an external 5 V supply can be provided to power the F2800137 device. For a detailed
explanation of the hardware configuration, see
When the controlCARD is used in a high-voltage setup, it is the user's responsibility to confirm that
the voltages and isolation requirements are identified and understood prior to energizing the board
or simulation. When energized, the controlCARD or components connected to the controlCARD
should not be touched. Furthermore, the capacitor C7:A should be removed to minimize the
possibility of leakage current flowing across the isolation barrier of the controlCARD.

2.1 Configuration 1: Standalone

1. Connect a USB-C cable to J1:A.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB2.0/USB3.x port.
3. LED1:A and D3 on the controlCARD will illuminate.

2.2 Configuration 2: External 5 V Supply

1. Insert the TMDSCNCD2800137 controlCARD into a TMDSHSECDOCK, or other compatible docking station.
2. Connect a USB-B "mini" connector to J17 on the TMDSHSECDOCK.
3. Flip S1 to the "USB-ON" position on the TMDSHSECDOCK. The controlCARD automatically switches to the
external 5 V supply.
4. LED1:A and D3 on the controlCARD illuminate.
The TMDSCNCD2800137 controlCARD automatically switches to the external 5 V supply when
present. No additional configuration is required.
