The industry's highest performance dual-core MCUs

With dual-core C28x processing capabilities and dual real-time control accelerators, also known as control law accelerators, the new Delfino 32-bit F2837xD MCUs enable designers to develop low-latency systems in computationally demanding control applications. They can also reduce complexity by consolidating multiple embedded processors into a single MCU.

Powerful analog peripherals have been integrated on-chip to allow the precise simultaneously contol and monitoring of multiple feedback inputs. Four independent 16-bit analog-to digital converters enable the F2837xD MCU to precisely and efficiently manage multiple analog signals. This enables overall system throughput for solutions such as the monitoring of three-phase motors. integrated windowed comparators provide critical power stage protection, so that designers can safely shut down their motors, while the sigma delta demodulators allow direct interface to isolated converters providing noise immunity for the MCU.

The first in a series of scalable and industrial-focused C2000 MCUs, all of which are pin- and software-compatible, Delfino F2837xD MCUs provide varying performance ranges capable of addressing different performance requirements in a product line - from a servo drive for factory automation to an elevator drive. The Delfino F2837xD MCUs and future single-core derivatives allow customers to decrease hardware and software development time and cost.

Priced from $18 (USD) each in 1,000 unit quantities, the fully featured Delfino F2837xD 32-bit microcontrollers are sampling now. Texas Instruments has also released the the F2837xD docking station (TMDXDOCK28377D) for $219 (USD) and the modular controlCARD (TMDXCNCD28377D) for $159 (USD) to allow developers to can evaluate their new Delfino MCUs.
