| Overview
The Texas Instruments Tiva
A Tiva C Series LaunchPad consists of a target microcontroller, an in-circuit debug interface (ICDI) such as JTAG, a regulated power supply, a minimal microcontroller support circuit, a user interface, and a set of expansion headers. These expansion headers are referred to as the BoosterPack Interface. A BoosterPack is an expansion card designed for this interface. The BoosterPack interface provides a mechanism for developers to easily extend the Tiva C Series LaunchPad with application- and userspecific functions.
The EK-TM4C123GXLEK-TM4C123GXL LaunchPad provides a BoosterPack interface that is compatible with the MSP430 LaunchPad. In addition, the TM4C123 LaunchPad provides access to additional Tiva C Series functionality through an extended BoosterPack interface called the BoosterPack XL Interface. BoosterPack interfaces with highly similar functionality for expansion will be available for the Tiva C Series LaunchPad, in addition to microcontroller-family-specific functionality available on a BoosterPack XL Interface for additional options.
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad design highlights the TM4C123GH6PMTM4C123GH6PMI microcontroller USB 2.0 device interface, hibernation module, and motion control pulse-width modulator (MC PWM) module. The Tiva C Series LaunchPad also features programmable user buttons and an RGB LED for custom applications. The stackable headers of the Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad BoosterPack XL interface demonstrate how easy it is to expand the functionality of the Tiva C Series LaunchPad when interfacing to other peripherals on many existing BoosterPack add-on boards as well as future products.
