Embedded Processing

High Performance Microcontrollers

With up to 150-MHz operation and 32-bit DSP processing capability, the C2000™ DSC platform is far and away the performance leader in the digital signal controller marketplace. No other competitor offers the precision of a 32-bit architecture, the high clock speed, and the cycle efficiency that the TMS320C28xTM generation provides.

Key Benefits

  • Floating point performance and ease of development
  • 16- and 32-bit digital signal controllers with up to 150 DSP-quality MIPS and 300 MFLOPS
  • Robust software library drastically reduces development time
  • Low-cost tools from $89
  • Prices starting below $2

Key Applications

  • Three-phase motor control
  • Digital power supplies
  • Advanced sensing
  • Power-line modems

Power Supplies

Digital control of power-conversion systems results in lower overall cost because of the consolidation of functions into a single programmable controller in place of dedicated discrete components. A single C2000 controller can provide full loop control at over 2-MHz and above switching frequencies or can control multiple output levels. A software-based solution enables intelligent monitoring of load conditions in real time and can lead to improved system reliability, efficiency and operating costs.

Key Applications

  • Switch-mode power supplies
  • Uninterruptible power supplies
  • DC-DC buck converters
  • Half-bridge DC/DC converter
  • Full-bridge DC/DC converter
  • Multiphased interleaved DC-DC
  • AC-DC rectifiers
  • Solar inverters
  • Wind turbine inverters
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Digital TV

Motor Control

C2000 controllers reduce the overall cost of motor-control systems by providing the integration and performance necessary to implement advanced control techniques such as sensorless vector control of three-phase motors. Using the more processor-intensive vector control, for example, allows developers to reduce the size and cost of the motors and power electronics. With C2000 controllers, developers can now capitalize on the latest advancements in motor designs and control techniques.

Key Applications

  • Variable speed drives
  • Servo drives
  • Appliance motors
  • HVAC compressors and blowers
  • Industrial pumps
  • Electric power steering
  • Soft starters
