I’m excited to share with you that TI has just released to production the first package option in the new Piccolo™ F28004x microcontroller (MCU) series. What’s great about the new F28004x MCU is that it takes all of the amazing performance and peripheral improvements of the flagship Delfino™ F2837x MCU and makes them available in a Piccolo product, with optimized performance, smaller memory and packages, and lower prices.
We optimized the F28004x for power control applications, which is the core business for C2000™ MCUs. This means:
All at an attractive price point starting at US$4.85 in 1,000-unit quantities.
Thanks to the latest process technology, F28004x MCUs use 60% less active power than the equivalent F2806x series. New features include:
Table 1 lists the configuration options for the F28004x.
Piccolo F28004x | Flash | CLA | Extras |
---|---|---|---|
F280049C | 256KB | Yes | InstaSPIN-FOC™ motor control solutions and the configurable logic block (CLB) |
F280049 | 256KB | Yes | – |
F280045 | 256KB | No | – |
F280041C | 128KB | No | InstaSPIN-FOC and motor control solutions and the CLB |
F280041 | 128KB | No | – |
Future software releases will enable extra features for InstaSPIN-FOC™ motor control solutions and the CLB.
64-pin samples of the superset F280049C and evaluation modules (EVMs) are available. TI will announce 100-pin low-profile quad flat pack (LQFP) production shortly, followed by automotive-qualified versions of the 100-pin and 64-pin. The 56-pin production will follow late next year.
