TMS320F2837xD MCU Consolidates Control Architectures and Eliminates Multiprocessor Use

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The Delfino TMS320F2837xD is a powerful 32-bit floating-point microcontroller unit that allows for consolidated control architectures and eliminates multiprocessor use in high-end systems.

It supports a new dual-core C28x architecture and offers integrated analog and control peripherals. The real-time control subsystems are based on Texas Instruments’ 32-bit C28x floating-point CPUs, which provide 200 MHz of signal-processing performance. The F2837xD features two real-time control accelerators (CLAs) that provide additional floating-point accelerators used to run parallel time-critical control algorithms. 

The C28x + CLA architecture enables intelligent partitioning of system-critical tasks and simultaneous management of them. The TMS320F2837xD supports up to 1 MB of on-board flash memory with ECC and up to 204 KB of SRAM. Two 128-bit secure zones are available on each CPU for code protection. Four independent 16-bit ADCs manage multiple-analog signals, boosting system throughput. New sigma-delta peripherals enable isolated-current shunt measurements. Windowed comparators allow protection of power stage. Other peripherals include DACs, PWMs, eCAPs, eQEPs, and connectivity, which extend the F2837xD’s performance. A USB 2.0 host port with MAC and PHY is included. Potential applications include industrial drives, radar, digital power, smart metering, and automotive transportation.
