As industrial control applications such as digital power, renewable energy, and automotive control
System flexibility and platform scalability

TI Korea (CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/ww/kr ) October 30, 2014 – TI (CEO Kent Chon) has launched the C2000™ Piccolo™ F2807x MCU, which enables rapid doubling of system performance without doubling costs or changing hardware/software designs. Through a powerful combination of the C28x CPU and accelerator, this new product significantly accelerates the execution speed of control tasks in industrial applications such as telecommunications rectifiers, server power supplies, solar microinverters, frequency inverters, and automotive HEVs/EVs. Additionally, the F2807x MCU provides various analog and control peripheral functions, allowing for the design of more integrated control applications. This new product is compatible with the previously released C2000 Delfino™ F2837xS and F2837xD MCU products.

Double system performance using Real-time Control Accelerator (CLA)
The Real-time Control Accelerator (CLA) is what enables the full utilization of the C2000 Piccolo F2807x MCU's performance. The CLA provides an additional 120 MHz of floating-point processing power, doubling the F2807x MCU's data throughput. By providing this additional bandwidth, parallel computational tasks or time-sensitive signal processing tasks can be executed. The CPU can distribute these tasks to the CLA, allowing it to focus on general system operations such as diagnostics, communications, and motion profiling. In addition, by integrating a TMU (trigonometric math unit) accelerator into the main C28x CPU, trigonometric function-based algorithms used for transformation and control functions can be executed quickly.

Analog and control function integration
Furthermore, TI's C2000 Piccolo F2807x MCU reduces the complexity of digital control systems by integrating advanced smart analog and control functions, including flexible and enhanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) that supports all digital power topologies. By integrating three 12-bit ADCs, it improves sampling data processing by enabling simultaneous execution of tasks, such as decoding high-frequency resolver feedback while monitoring the voltage and current of a three-phase motor. In addition, the F2807x MCU can simultaneously process eight delta-sigma module channels, each containing a comparator, and can flexibly interface with TI's AMC1204 isolated delta-sigma modulator for isolated current and voltage measurements. Window comparators can be used in critical power protection circuits.

Compatible products
The C2000 Piccolo F2807x MCU is pin and software compatible with the previously released dual-core Delfino F2837xD and single-core Delfino F2837xS MCUs by including the same C28x core and many of the same peripherals. Therefore, motor developers can shorten time-to-market by utilizing a suitable product from a diverse range of options that offer various types of signal processing, flash capacity, and analog and control peripherals. In addition, to support development work, the C2000 F2807x experimental kit and controlCARD are provided, enabling designers to quickly and easily evaluate the C2000 Piccolo F2807x MCU and create innovative designs.

Unified software development
TI facilitates software development using F2807x MCUs by providing design examples, header files, and application libraries in its controlSUITE™ software. Additionally, these MCUs are supported by the Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment v6, and Altair's third-party support provides various software programming options for use on this new platform.

Price and Supply Timing
Samples of the feature-rich C2000 Piccolo F2807x 32-bit MCU (TMX320F28075) are currently available. The production-ready F28075 and F28074 (TMS320F28074) start at less than $9 per unit in 1,000-unit quantities. Developers can conveniently evaluate the new Piccolo F2807x MCUs using the $189 experimental kit docking station (TMDXDOCK28075) and the $129 modular controlCARD (TMDXCNCD28075).
