real-time control for greater energy efficiency to cost sensitive applications
Piccolo™ MCUs, the new F2803x/2x devices feature architectural advancements and enhanced peripherals in packages from 38-pins to bring the benefits of 32-bit real-time control to applications typically unable to justify the associated cost. Real-time control offers greater system efficiency and precision through the implementation of advanced algorithms for applications such as, solar inverters, white goods appliances, hybrid automotive batteries and LED lighting.
The new F2802x/F2803x Piccolo™ family of C2000™ MCUs provides unparalleled performance with increased integration to help drive processor intensive real-time control into cost-sensitive applications.
Initial F2802x/F2803x devices will include 40 to 60 MHz variations, up to 128 kB of flash memory, high speed 12-bit ADC, high-resolution enhanced pulse width modulators (ePWMs), along with a host of other modules such as high-precision on-chip oscillators, analog comparators, communication interfaces, and general purpose I/O. Available in multiple package options starting at 38 pins, the Piccolo family is the ultimate combination of performance, integration and size.
The F2802x/3x MCUs include zero-pin integrated oscillators enabling many applications to utilize the internal clock source without external components. Enhanced power management features such as the on-chip voltage regulator reduces external power supply requirements. F2803x/F2802x devices require only a single 3.3-V supply and regulate core voltage internally while providing brown-out protection and power-on reset. The F2802x/3x devices are 100 percent code-compatible across the series and with earlier-generation C2000 devices, making upgrades easy and allowing options from the entire portfolio for applications.
The F2803x series of Piccolo MCUs will also feature new advancements such as the control law accelerator (CLA) designed to offload control algorithms from the main CPU. The CLA is designed to run complex high-speed control algorithms leaving the C28x™ CPU free to perform other tasks such as system management. This combination of the C28x CPU plus the CLA provides significant performance boost to many real-time control applications.
