7 Summary

Utilizing the high performance C28x CPU along with the advanced hardware math enhancements described in this paper, the TI C2000 family of MCUs provides the advanced processing power required for today’s complex real-time control systems. Combining these enhancements with the various control-optimized peripherals, such as high-speed ADCs and high-resolution PWMs, engineers can minimize latency while increasing system performance. TI provides a comprehensive set of development tools and software that enable engineers to quickly design, test, and produce extremely reliable control systems. A wide range of TI C2000 MCUs are available to solve the most demanding control system requirements.

The C2000 MCU family includes a wide array of devices that have been designed for both high performance and low-cost real-time control applications. Based on an extremely fast C28x CPU, advanced control peripherals, and integrated analog functions, the C2000 MCUs can reduce system cost while increasing system reliability. Combining the CPU with the CLA running concurrently can effectively double the throughput of the device. Additionally, some family members feature a dual-core microcontroller, and when combining each CPU with its own CLA, the device has the capability for delivering the equivalent of up to four times the performance of a single CPU. Conversely, other family members feature a high level integration of control and analog peripherals for reducing system complexity and offers greater efficiency for cost-sensitive designs.

The C2000 family of MCUs is ideal for applications requiring advanced real-time signal processing such as industrial drives, digital power, renewable energy, smart sensing, white goods appliances, motor control, electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle (EV/HEV).
