SoCs have advanced interface to position sensors

The TMS320F28379D and TMS320F28379S C2000 Delfino dual or single core industrial control SoCs enable simple interfacing to both digital and analog position sensors. By decoding on-chip, the ICs reduce communication latency, enabling faster control loop performance. They give designers the functionality needed to interface EnDat2.2, BiSS-C, resolver, and SIN/COS sensors.

The supporting DesignDRIVE hardware/software platform makes it easy to develop and evaluate solutions for a variety of industrial drive and servo topologies. The processors use 200 MHz 32-Bit CPUs with a floating point unit, a trigonometric math unit, a Viterbi/complex math unit (VCU-II), and two 16-bit programmable control law accelerators. They have 512 Kbytes or 1 Mbyte of flash and 172 or 204 Kbytes of RAM and up to four A/D converters. Both are available for sampling. Pricing starts at $17.20 ea/1,000.
