General Description

This guide details the use of the TDC7200EVM evaluation module (referred to as EVM for the remainder

of this document). The TDC7200EVM is an evaluation module that allows users to evaluate the operation

and performance of the TDC7200 Time-to-Digital Converter. One example application that requires

accurate time-to-digital conversion is flow sensing. For this, the TDC7200 can be used with the TDC1000

ultrasonic analog-front-end to capture accurate time sensing for water/gas/heat flow meters. The EVM

connects to the MSP430 LaunchPad evaluation kit for capturing data, and it connects to a user-friendly

Graphic User Interface (GUI) to modify the registers and display the data.

1 EVM Key Features

1. Evaluate TDC7200 Time-to-Digital Converter

2. EVM connect with MSP430 Launch Pad (MSP-EXP430F5529LP)

3. User friendly TDC7200 GUI interface

4. Connection for START and STOP inputs

5. Powered by MSP430 LaunchPad (no external power needed)

Software Installation

5 Software Installation

This section describes software installation, firmware upgrade, and how to update USB Driver.

5.1 Installing the TDC7200 GUI

1. Download the TDC7200 Software GUI zip file to your desktop.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Run the setup.exe file.

4. Follow the instructions to install the GUI.

5. Once done, you should be able to see the installation in your folder, for example, C:\ folder, such as

C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\TDC7200EVM.

6. Note: as part of this GUI installation, the GUI driver for the TDC7200EVM is also installed.

5.2 MSP430 Firmware Upgrade

1. Open the TDC7200 GUI.

2. Click on the Debug tab.

3. Click on “Update Firmware”.

4. Click Next to proceed on the first prompt; read and accept the license agreement, and click Next to

continue.

5. Choose “ Select Firmware”, and then hit “Browse”

(a) Go to the folder where you downloaded the TDC7200 GUI. For example: C:\Program Files

(x86)\Texas Instruments\TDC7200EVM

(b) Find the Firmware folder . For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas

Instruments\TDC7200EVM\Firmware

6. On the MSP430 LaunchPad board, press the BSL button (S5 or S3) and connect the MSP430

Launch Pad to your PC using a USB cable. If detected, the text on the Firmware Upgrade tool

changes from No device connected to Found 1 device. See Figure 2.

7. On the MSP430 USB Firmware Upgrade GUI, click “Upgrade Firmware”.

8. Click “Close” when done.

5.3 Checking Connection

1. If you haven’t done so, connect the USB cable from the MSP430 Launch Pad to your PC.

2. If you haven’t done so, connect the TDC7200EVM to the MSP430 Launch Pad via J1 and J2 as shown

in Figure 6.

3. Open the computer’s Device Manager . This can be done by right clicking on “My Computer", choose

“Properties”, then click on “Device Manager”.

4. Scroll down to “Ports (COM &LPT)”

5. You should be able to see the “TDC7200EVM (COMx)” as shown in Figure 3

5.4 Opening the GUI

1. If you haven’t done so, connect the USB cable from the MSP430 Launch Pad to your PC.

2. If you haven’t done so, connect the TDC7200EVM to the MSP430 Launch Pad via J1 and J2 as shown

in Figure 6.

3. Run the TDC7200 GUI from the “Start Menu”. By default, it is located in “Programs\Texas

Instruments\TDC7200EVM”

4. GUI should automatically connect and show the screen depicted in Figure 4.

6 Hardware Configuration

This section describes how to properly set up the connections on the EVM

6.1 EVM Connections

1. If you haven’t done so, connect the USB cable from the MSP430 Launch Pad to your PC.

2. If you haven't done so, connect the TDC7200EVM to the MSP430 Launch Pad via J1 and J2 as shown

in Figure 6.

3. Setting the Dual Channel Function Generator (for example: Tektronix’s AFG3102):

(a) Set channel 1 of the dual function generator to as follows (see Figure 5):

(i) Pulse 1-Cycle

(ii) Burst mode

(iii) Freq = 40kHz

(iv) Delay = 0s

(v) Amplitude = 3.3Vpp

(vi) Offset = 1.65V

(vii) Duty = 20%

(b) Set channel 2 of the dual function generator to as follows (see Figure 5):

(i) Pulse 1-Cycle

(ii) Burst mode

(iii) Freq = 40 kHz

(iv) Delay = 19us --> this is the time-of-flight (TOF)

(v) Amplitude = 3.3 Vpp

(vi) Offset = 1.65 V

(vii) Duty = 20%
