Kit Overview

RM46 controlCARD (TMDXRM46CNCDTMDXRM46CNCD) from Texas Instruments are ideal products for initial software development and short run builds for system prototypes, test stands, and many other projects that require easy access to high-performance controllers. The controlCARDs are complete board-level modules that utilize an industry-standard DIMM form factor to provide a low-profile single-board controller solution.

ControlCARDs use the same 100-pin connector footprint to provide the analog and digital I/Os on-board controller and are reasonably interchangeable. The RM46CNCD board operates from an external power supply provided via the barrel connector located on the top-front of the card. The expected voltage for the control card is 6.0V to 30.0V as per the input capability of the TPS65381. The control card can be used as part of a motor control kit and offers additional control, connectivity and safety evaluation features.

The RM46Lx50 is a high performance microcontroller family for safety systems. The safety architecture includes Dual CPUs in lockstep, CPU and Memory Built-In Self Test (BIST) logic, ECC on both the Flash and the data SRAM, parity on peripheral memories, and loop back capability on peripheral IOs. The RM46Lx50 integrates the ARM® Cortex™-R4F Floating Point CPU which offers an efficient 1.66DMIPS/MHz, and has configurations which can run up to 200MHz providing up to 332 DMIPS. The device supports the little-endian [LE32] format.

The RM46Lx50 has up to 1.25MB integrated Flash and up to 192KB data RAM configurations with single bit error correction and double bit error detection. The flash memory on this device is a nonvolatile, electrically erasable and programmable, implemented with a 64-bit-wide data bus interface. The flash operates on a 3.3V supply input (same level as I/O supply) for all read, program and erase operations. When in pipeline mode, the flash operates with a system clock frequency of up to 200MHz. The SRAM supports single-cycle read/write accesses in byte, halfword, and word modes throughout the supported frequency range.

Key Applications: Industrial Safety Applications (Industrial Automation, Safe PLC’s, Power Generation and Distribution, Turbines and Windmills, Elevators and Escalators), Medical Applications (Ventilators, Defibrillators, Infusion and Insulin pumps, Radiation therapy, Robotic surgery)
