Microcontrollers optimised for closed-loop performance

The TMS320F2838x is a powerful 32-bit floating-point microcontroller unit (MCU) designed for advanced closed-loop control applications. The F2838x supports a dual-core C28x architecture along with a new Connectivity Manager that offloads critical communication tasks, significantly boosting system performance. The integrated analog and control peripherals with advanced connectivity peripherals like EtherCAT and Ethernet also let designers consolidate real-time control and real-time communications architectures, reducing requirements for multicontroller systems.

The dual real-time control subsystems are based on TI’s 32-bit C28x floating-point CPUs, which provide 200 MHz of signal processing performance in each core. The C28x CPUs are further boosted by the TMU accelerator, which enables fast execution of algorithms with trigonometric operations common in transforms and torque loop calculations.
