Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits – TSI350A-RDK1 V1.0 Application Field and Working Principle

Evaluation and demonstration kits (EDKs) have helped engineers to develop new product design faster and more cost-effectively. Among the most popular EDKs, the TSI350A-RDK1 v1.0 is a multi-channel evaluation and demonstration board for the CANbus. It supports a variety of features and is designed for developers needing a simple but efficient and reliable evaluation and demonstration tool for their CANbus products. The TSI350A-RDK1 v1.0 utilizes the popular TSIAegis chip, as well as other advanced hardware components to meet the most demanding needs of the CANbus developer.

Application Field

The TSI350A-RDK1 v1.0 is ideal for evaluating and demonstrating CANbus systems in consumer, automotive, industrial, and manufacturing products. It also supports the most popular CANbus devices and interfaces. The TSI350A-RDK1 features 8/10 bits CANbus Transceivers, which can be configured to support up to 4xCAN nodes. The kit is also powered by the TSIAegis FPGA and can be used to evaluate and demonstrate features such as fault diagnosis, diagnostic aid, electronic control unit (ECU) address recognition/message acceptance, and message parsing.

Working Principle

The TSI350A-RDK1’s working principle is quite simple: it allows developers to easily connect up to 4xCAN nodes to a single board. The board then provides real-time evaluation results, until the system is released into production. The TSI350A-RDK1 also provides a range of additional features to further extend its capabilities. A CANbus transceiver, also known as a CAN bus switch, is used to interconnect different CANbus devices across the network. The transceiver allows developers to control the sending and receiving of CANbus messages.

In addition, the TSIAegis embedded controller is configured to route data to its designated receivers. The embedded controller also provides additional features such as data buffering, message validation, data sequencing, and error detection. The embedded controller then returns all the received data to the developers for further evaluation and demonstration.

Conclusion

The TSI350A-RDK1 v1.0 is a powerful and cost effective evaluation and demonstration board for the CANbus. It supports a wide range of features and is well suited for developers needing a simple but efficient and reliable evaluation and demonstration tool for their CANbus products. With the support of CANbus controllers and transceivers, along with the advanced features provided by the TSIAegis, the TSI350A-RDK1 provides an ideal platform for developers to quickly evaluate and demonstrate their CANbus designs.
