Stellaris® LaunchPad and BoosterPack Expansion Concept and Overview

The Texas Instruments’ Stellaris® LM4F120 LaunchPad concept is an extremely low-cost, expandable evaluation system for TI microcontrollers. This concept began with the tremendously successful MSP430™ LaunchPad which introduced a large number of engineers to the TI MSP430 family of microcontrollers. The TI Stellaris microcontroller family is expanding on that success by introducing the Stellaris® LM4F120 LaunchPad featuring the Stellaris ARM® Cortex™-M4F LM4F120H5QRFIG microcontroller.

A Stellaris 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. The expansion headers are referred to as the BoosterPack interface. A BoosterPack is an expansion card designed for this interface. This interface provides a mechanism for developers to easily extend the Stellaris LaunchPad with application- and user-specific functions.

The Stellaris LaunchPad provides a BoosterPack interface that is compatible with the MSP430 LaunchPad. In addition, the Stellaris LaunchPad provides access to additional Stellaris functionality through an extended BoosterPack interface called the BoosterPack XL Interface. BoosterPack interfaces with highly similar functionality for expansion will be available for the Stellaris LaunchPad, in addition to microcontroller-family-specific functionality available on a BoosterPack XL Interface for additional options. Table 1-1 provides a summary of BoosterPack interface compatibility.

This development guide provides necessary design information for developers who want to create BoosterPacks that extend the functionality of the Stellaris® LaunchPad using either the original BoosterPack or the BoosterPack XL Interface. Figure 1-1 on page 7 shows a photo of the Stellaris® LaunchPad.

BoosterPack XL Functional InterfaceThe BoosterPack XL Interface consists of the J1 and J2 connectors as well as the inner 10-pin headers spaced 1.6 inches apart directly inside of the MSP430 LaunchPad-compatible BoosterPack interface headers. The pins are spaced on 0.10-inch centers. These inner 10-pin headers (connectors J3 and J4) are not intended to be compatible with other TI LaunchPads or LaunchPad XL's. This is a Stellaris-only interface. TI recommends that LaunchPads provide analog functions on the left side of the BoosterPack XL interface and timer or PWM functions on the right side of the BoosterPack XL interface. Stellaris conforms to these recommendations. No effort has been made to make this interface compatible with any other LaunchPad.

Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 show which Stellaris peripherals are routed to each pin of the Stellaris-only BoosterPack XL Interface pins. J3 is the inner left BoosterPack XL Interface header. J4 is the inner right BoosterPack XL Interface header. Software is used to configure the LMF4120 pin for one of the functions found in the table.

LaunchPad Power InterfaceThe Stellaris LaunchPad has provisions to provide power to a BoosterPack through either the BoosterPack interface or the BoosterPack XL Interface. The configuration of power and ground pins on both of these interfaces must be consistent across LaunchPads from all TI microcontroller families.

The Stellaris LaunchPad draws power from either of the on-board USB interfaces as selected by the power switch in the top left corner of the board. Typically, the USB connection provides 500 milliamps at 5 V to the Stellaris LaunchPad. The selected USB power source is made directly available to the BoosterPack XL Interface on the J3.01 pin. This is a direct connection with only small decoupling capacitors provided on the Stellaris LaunchPad.

All LaunchPads, including the Stellaris LaunchPad, also provide a 3.3-V supply on pin J1.01 of the BoosterPack interface. On the Stellaris LaunchPad, this is sourced by a TPS73633 LDO voltage regulator which converts the selected 5-V USB power to 3.3 V. The regulator is capable of sourcing 400 milliamps at 3.3 V. This 3.3-V supply is shared between the BoosterPack interface, the in-circuit debug interface (ICDI), and the target microcontroller. Therefore, under normal circumstances, about 300 to 350 milliamps are available to the BoosterPack interface. Detailed power management is left to the BoosterPack developer who must also manage the application to be run on the target microcontroller.

The Stellaris LaunchPad can be powered through an external supply on a BoosterPack. If providing power to the Stellaris LaunchPad from a BoosterPack, move the power select switch to select an unused USB connection to prevent power bus contention between the BoosterPack and the USB connection. Power may be supplied to either the 3.3 V or the 5.0-V system but not both. Providing external power to both 5 V and 3.3 V would result in a contention between the external power supplies and the Stellaris LaunchPad's voltage regulator. Providing only 3.3 V will result in some lost functionality such as the on-board LED’s. It may also result in reverse current leakage through the on-board voltage regulator. Therefore, it is recommended if providing power externally to use either the existing USB connections or an external 5-V supply from a BoosterPack.

Ground connections are available on pins J2.01 and J3.02. These provide a ground connection for both the BoosterPack interface and the BoosterPack XL Interface respectively.

Additional power and ground pins are available through labeled pins located in the extreme lower corners of the Stellaris LaunchPad. These are connected to the same 3.3 V, 5 V, and ground connections as the pins on the BoosterPack interface and the BoosterPack XL Interface.

Special Consideration for Shared PinsTo provide compatibility with the MSP430 LaunchPad's BoosterPack interface and to provide a maximum number of signals to the BoosterPack interface and BoosterPack XL Interface, it was necessary to route some signals to more than one pin. In addition, certain on-board functions such as the button and LED signals are available on the BoosterPack interface and BoosterPack XL Interface. A 0-Ω jumper resistor was installed for signals that are used for more than one purpose or routed to more than one GPIO. Removal of this jumper disconnects the functions. All jumpers are installed by default. A listing of these jumpers and their use is provided in Table 1-6.

Stellaris LaunchPad Dimensions and MatingFigure 1-1 on page 7 shows a dimensional drawing of the Stellaris LaunchPad. J1 and J2 are 1.8 inches apart and constitute the BoosterPack interface. J3 and J4 are 1.6 inches apart and constitute the BoosterPack XL Interface. Other major board signals are available on unpopulated headers on a 0.1 inch grid. Dimensions to these signals are provided for convenience. These signals are subject to change or move across revisions of the Stellaris LaunchPad or future LaunchPads. It is recommended that BoosterPacks use only the BoosterPack interface and BoosterPack XL Interface. Use of other pins and signals is acceptable but these pins and signals can change at any time.

BoosterPack Design GuidelinesFollow these guidelines when designing your BoosterPack:

BoosterPacks should not extend more than 0.350 inches above the center of the top BoosterPack interface pin.

BoosterPacks should not extend more than 0.150 inches below the center of the bottom pin of the BoosterPack interface.

Note: BoosterPacks that extend more than 0.150 inches below the center of the bottom pin will partially cover the Stellaris LaunchPad user switches which can result in lost user access to those user inputs.

BoosterPacks are not restricted in width and may extend as much as desired left and right of the Stellaris LaunchPad.

For BoosterPacks with RF antennas, place the antenna to the left or right of the Stellaris LaunchPad for minimal interference and signal attenuation.

The BoosterPack interface does not provide any means of keying or alignment guidance. It is recommended that visual cues be provided on the BoosterPack to assist user in proper orientation of the BoosterPack.

If possible, design the BoosterPack so that incorrect mating to a Stellaris LaunchPad will not damage the BoosterPack.

TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, orother intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Informationpublished by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty orendorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of thethird party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alterationand is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altereddocumentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.

Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or servicevoids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirementsconcerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or supportthat may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards whichanticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might causeharm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the useof any TI components in safety-critical applications.

In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is tohelp enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards andrequirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.

No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the partieshave executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.

Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use inmilitary/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI componentswhich have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal andregulatory requirements in connection with such use.

TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components whichhave not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of suchcomponents to meet such requirements.
