Safety precautions

Note: Please note the following warnings regarding the hazards associated with development system

Table 1 Safety precautions

Warning: The DC link potential of this board is up to 1000 VDC. When measuring voltage

waveforms by oscilloscope, high voltage differential probes must be used. Failure to do so

may result in personal injury or death.

Warning: The evaluation or reference board contains DC bus capacitors which take time

to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive system, wait five

minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in

personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have

discharged to safe voltage levels.

Warning: The evaluation or reference board is connected to the grid input during testing.

Hence, high-voltage differential probes must be used when measuring voltage waveforms

by oscilloscope. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display

LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.

Warning: Remove or disconnect power from the drive before you disconnect or reconnect

wires, or perform maintenance work. Wait five minutes after removing power to discharge

the bus capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus capacitors have

discharged to zero. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Caution: The heat sink and device surfaces of the evaluation or reference board may

become hot during testing. Hence, necessary precautions are required while handling the

board. Failure to comply may cause injury.

Caution: Only personnel familiar with the drive, power electronics and associated

machinery should plan, install, commission and subsequently service the system. Failure

to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Caution: The evaluation or reference board contains parts and assemblies sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when

installing, testing, servicing or repairing the assembly. Component damage may result if

ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic control

procedures, refer to the applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.

Caution: A drive that is incorrectly applied or installed can lead to component damage or

reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as undersizing the motor,

supplying an incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may

result in system malfunction.

Caution: The evaluation or reference board is shipped with packing materials that need to

2.1 CYAT817X EVK assembly

The CYAT817X EVK consists of a CYAT817X sensor board, TTBridge built into the sensor board, and a 10.2-inch

touchscreen sensor enclosed in a plastic case.

Figure 1 shows the top view of the assembly.

Figure 1 CYAT817X EVK assembly (top view)

2.2 Power settings

The EVK has the following three possible power sources (see Figure 2):

• USB I/F connector (typical source)

• TTBridge (external TTBridge)

• PWR barrel jack

In most cases, the EVK will be powered by the USB cable, through the built-in TTBridge. This is the default

configuration.

Trimming resistors for VCOM and VAUX are not used in the current revision of the EVK.

Powering from the barrel jack is only needed when using the EVK’s external components (accelerometer, IR, I2S,

PWM, CAN, and so on). The internal jumper configuration required is covered by the application note for that

feature. See the CY3290-CYAT817X website for the list of currently supported extension projects.

2.4 CYAT817X sensor board

The sensor board contains the CYAT817X device. The CYAT817X EVK uses a 128-pin TQFP part (CYAT817AZS98-

5BFBA). The sensor board for the EVK is shown in Figure 4 along with the major connectors.

Figure 4 CYAT817X EVK sensor board

Use of the TSG7XL EVK's advanced features are covered by application notes that can be downloaded from the

TSG7XL EVK webpage. New application notes are constantly being developed; therefore check the website

regularly.

The following are the major connectors:

• Shield connects to a metal layer at the bottom of the sensor stack-up. This can be used as a shield layer, or to

inject simulated display noise.

• Force (x2) allows for two external inductive force sensors to be attached. The inductance is then measured

and converted to digital value by the touch controller.

• Touchscreen connects to the 10.2 inch touchscreen.

• Proximity is not a connector, the proximity sensors are on the reverse side of the PCB, one at each end.

• VCOM/VAUX potentiometers allow the touch controller's digital and analog voltage supplies to be set as

required. Note that this feature is not supported by version-1 of the EVK.

• USB-mini connector is the standard connector, which provides both power and access to the built-in

TTBridge.

• Peripheral power is required when using any of the advanced features of the TSG7XL EVK. For touch and

button functionality, this power source is not required.

• External TTBridge allows a standard TTBridge to be used. However, it is recommended to just use the built-in

CY3290-CYAT817X

Hardware

Multiple test points are included on the CYAT817X sensor board to provide access to signals on the CYAT817X

device, as shown in Table 4.

2.5 Supply current measurements

The CYAT817X device offers five modes of operation: active, low-power, wake-on-screen, wake-on-button, and

deep-sleep. To measure the supply current to the device, jumpers provide convenient access to a series path to

VDDD and VDDA. These jumpers (labeled as IDDD, IDDA, and IDD) can be removed and replaced with an ammeter

to measure the supply current on the device. Note that specifications for the supply current in various modes of

operation are provided in the device datasheet.

the installation procedure explained in “Installation” on page 6 before proceeding.

The TTHE software has multiple features and capabilities, such as collecting statistics on sensor data, changing

operating modes, or viewing touch events. Details on the various features are available in the TTHE menu bar

under Help > Contents.

3.1 Connecting EVK to TTHE

To connect the EVK to TTHE, follow these steps:

1. Launch the TTHE from the “Infineon” folder under the “Windows Start Menu”.

2. Connect the CYAT817X EVK to a PC through a USB cable connected to the USB I/F port on the kit.

3. Download the latest TTHE project from the TSG7XL EVK webpage, and unzip it.

4. Click on Open Project and navigate to the relevant directory on your computer and select the config file.

The project opens showing the Touch Display window. You can add additional windows (Configurable

Parameters [Flash/EEPROM] and Touch Display Settings are recommended) to review and update the parameter

values set in the project.

• To add the Configurable Parameters [Flash/EEPROM] window,

go to View > Tool Windows > Configurable Parameters [Flash/EEPROM].

• To add Touch Display Settings window, go to View > Tool Windows > Touch Display Settings.

The windows can be placed at left, right, top, or bottom positions of the screen by dragging the windows with a

3.2 Viewing touches in TTHE

CYAT817X includes support for three types of objects: standard touches, glove touches, and hovering objects. For

ease of use, these three objects are represented differently. TTHE will report standard touches as shown in

Figure 9 with a filled circle, whereas gloves are represented by a hatch-filled circle, and hover is shown by an

empty ring. Each finger placed on the panel is represented with a different color to make them easier to track.

Next to each finger, the finger ID, X-coordinate, Y-coordinate, the Z value (pressure of the touch reported), and

finger orientation (major, minor and angle) are displayed.

To enable Line-Drawing mode, select Line Drawing from the drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 10.
