Using the UCD3138ACCEVM149
1 Introduction
This UCD3138ACCEVM149 evaluation module is to help evaluate the UCD3138A digital controller device
from Texas Instruments and aid in design of digitally controlled isolated power converters. The UCD3138A
device belongs to the UCD3138 family of highly integrated digital controller devices optimized for isolated
power supply applications.
The UCD3138ACCEVM149 is quite similar to the UCD3138CC64EVM-030. The UCD3138ACCEVM149 is
to be used either as a stand-alone control card to study the UCD3138A controller device or as a DPWM
controller board working with a power stage board to implement a fully regulated power converter. To help
the targeted off-line isolated power applications, this EVM has been designed to work seamlessly with
power converter EVM offered by TI: UCD3138ALLCEVM-150. Please contact Texas Instruments for
assistance with firmware needed to configure the UCD3138A device and successfully interface
UCD3138ACCEVM149 with the above mentioned power converter EVM.
Alternately the EVM can also be loaded with user’s custom developed firmware. In order to communicate
with the UCD3138A digital controller in this EVM, a separate USB Interface Adapter EVM from Texas
Instruments known as the “USB-TO-GPIO Adapter” is required. The USB-TO-GPIO adapter is NOT
supplied with UCD3138ACCEVM149 evaluation module and must be purchased separately. Texas
Instruments also offers a Graphical User Interface in order to program the UCD3138A controller and
configure parameters when used with the power converter EVM mentioned above.
2 Description
The UCD3138ACCEVM149 is an EVM board, functioning as a control card for UCD3138ARGC digital
power supply applications. This EVM is used to control a power converter topology such as LLC Resonant
Half-Bridge DC converter, etc., by downloading the associated firmware and interfacing with an
appropriate power stage board. The EVM works seamlessly with the following EVM board, together with
corresponding firmware, all developed by Texas Instruments.
• UCD3138ALLCEVM-150, a digital controlled LLC half-bridge DC-to-DC converter evaluation board
Contact Texas Instruments for assistance with firmware needed to configure the UCD3138A device and
successfully interface UCD3138ACCEVM149 with above mentioned power converter EVM.
2.1 Typical Applications
• Off-line Isolated Power Supply Applications (such as, LLC resonant half-bridge DC-to-DC power
converter, and phase-shifted full-bridge DC-to-DC power converter)
• Server Systems
• Telecommunication Systems
2.2 Features
• 40-Pin Digital Signal Connector (to connect digital signals to power converters)
• JTAG Connector
• LED Indicator
• PMBus Connector to PC Computer Connection through USB-to-GPIO Adapter
• Rich Test Points to Facilitate the Device Evaluation (system design and circuit and firmware
debugging)
• 12-V Input Capable With Onboard Regulator 3.3 V

Appendix A
SLUUB82–March 2015
Summary of Using Code Composer Studio v6
In this appendix, the basic steps of how to use Code Composer Studio v6 to compile firmware for
UCD3138 family of devices is described. A design flow is described while detailed steps for firmware code
creation, and firmware debugging along with hardware are obviously beyond the scope of this user’s guide
and this appendix.
A.1 Importing a CCSv6 project
Upon running CCSv6 for the first time, the Workspace Launcher window will appear as shown in
Figure 14. It is left to the user do decide whether or not to use a workspace, where it is located, and/or to
check the box that says Use this as the default and do not ask again. For this guide, a workspace will
not be used, so click OK.

Importing a CCSv6 project www.ti.com
When the main window opens, click Project in the top navigation menu, then choose Import CCS
Project… as shown in window as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Import Existing CCS Project
This will open the window shown in Figure 16. Under Select-search directory, click Browse, navigate to
the target project, and click OK. For this example, the project is called UCD3138_Lab_02_solution.
Check the box next to the discovered project, and do not check Copy projects into workspace, or
Automatically import referenced projects. Click Finish.

www.ti.com Build/Compile a Project using Code Composer Studio v6
The project should be imported into CCSv6 and should be shown in the Project Explorer as shown in
Figure 17. At this point, files in the project can be edited as required.

A.2 Build/Compile a Project using Code Composer Studio v6
For the UCD3138 family of devices, compiling a project produces an Intel-hex (.x0) firmware file that can
be downloaded to, and run on the UCD3138 or related target device using the UCD3XXX / UCD9XXX
Device GUI (part of the Fusion Design Online software from TI).
After finished editing the project files, Right-Click on the project in the Project explorer, and choose Build
Project.
NOTE: If this is the first time building a UCD3138 or related project, and Cygwin is also installed on
the PC that is performing the compilation, the instructions in Section 3.3 of the Application
Note entitled “Converting UCD3138 Firmware Project from Code Composer Studio Version
3.3 to 6.0” must be followed. Mainly, the C:\CYGWIN or other similarly named directory must
be renamed temporarily during this first build. This will allow the new ARM library to be built
properly. After this first build, the CYGWIN directory can be rolled back to its original name,
and future builds can compile successfully.

Builds may take up to a minute to compile, or longer for a first time build. Figure 18 shows the state of a
successful build:
Figure 18. Successful Build of UCD3138 Related Source Code
When the build has finished, the .x0 file should be created and will be placed in the project directory’s
debug folder. The filename that prefaces the .x0 will be the name of the project that was built (i.e. a
project named UCD3138_Lab_02_solution will create UCD3138_Lab_02_solution.x0 as its firmware
file). However, it must be noted that the project name must have no spaces, otherwise the .x0 file will not
be generated.
This .x0 file can be and run on the UCD3138 target device using the UCD3XXX / UCD9XXX Device GUI.
