Key Features and Advantages of the F2837xS MCU

● The powerful combination of the C28x and the Real-time Control Accelerator (CLA) provides 400 MIPS of integrated floating-point performance, enabling fast and efficient management of multiple control tasks simultaneously. The C28x CPU is accelerated for trigonometric functions and complex mathematical operations.

○ Rapidly executes trigonometric-based algorithms used in transformation and control functions through a new TMU (trigonometric math unit) hardware accelerator embedded in the C28x core and automatically executed by the compiler.

○ Accelerates complex mathematical operations common in communication applications encoded through the VCU (Viterbi Complex Unit) II hardware accelerator, which is embedded in the C28x core and automatically executed by the compiler.

● It implements intelligent system distribution by offloading high-performance control loop analysis from the main CPU (C28x cores) to the CLA, generating additional bandwidth and allowing the main processor to focus on other tasks such as system diagnostics, application management, or low-frequency control loops.

● Implements high-precision feedback in power control applications with four 16-bit ADCs for the industry's first single-core MCU.

● Software decoding of high-frequency resolver feedback while improving system processing performance, such as monitoring the three-phase voltage and current of a motor.

● Sigma Delta DemoduleSystem-level integration can be maximized and BOM costs reduced with high-integrity analog and control peripherals, including comparators, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and various control and communication peripherals.

● It simultaneously processes eight sigma-delta modulation channels with a smooth interface with each threshold comparator and TI AMC1204 isolated delta-sigma modulator.

● Easy migration from previous F2833x MCUs is possible. Previous high-performance C2000 MCUs, which use the same C28x core and the same number of peripherals, are software-compatible with the new Delfino F2837xS MCU, which offers higher signal processing bandwidth, faster flash performance, and superior analog and control peripherals.

● The new F2837xS MCU series provides a pin and software-compatible architecture with the dual-core Delfino F2837xD MCU and future devices, enabling the development of products with various performance levels within the new product series, thereby shortening time-to-market and reducing development costs.

● Centralized software development is possible with the examples, header files, application libraries, and many features included in the controlSUITE™ software, which is available for free download from the TI website.

A new tool that makes development easier

The Delfino F2837xS MCU is scalable and compatible with the Delfino F2837xD MCU, sharing the same development platform, the Delfino F2837xD Experimental Kit. Since the Delfino F2837xD Experimental Kit is based on the existing C2000 controlCARD form factor, designers can use this controlCARD with previously released C2000 application kits.
