3.3.1 TMS320F2838xD Real-Time MCUs

TMS320F2838xD supports two instances of the C28x + CLA architecture (four processing elements) that significantly boosts system performance. The integrated analog and control peripherals also let designers consolidate control architectures and reduce multiprocessor use in some of the high-end systems.

The C28x CPUs are further boosted by the Trigonometric Math Unit (TMU) accelerator that enables fast execution of algorithms with trigonometric operations common in transforms and torque loop calculations. The Viterbi, Complex Math and CRC Unit (VCU) accelerator reduces the time for complex math operations common in encoded applications. Users may refer to Accelerators: Enhancing the Computational Performance of the C2000™ Microcontroller Family to see how the accelerators can be employed to increase the performance of the MCU in many real-time applications.

The CLA is an independent 32-bit floating-point accelerator that runs at the same speed as the main C28x CPU, responding to peripheral triggers with minimum event latency and executing code concurrently with the main CPU.

The TMS320F2838xD supports up to 512KB (256KW), for each CPU, or 1MB (512KW) of onboard Flash memory with error correction code (ECC) and up to 172KB (86KW) of SRAM.

GUID-BF3EA5AD-05AE-4155-B894-8BD0037A608C-low.gifFigure 3-1 Functional Block Diagram of TMS320F2838xD Real-Time MCUs

Performance analog and control peripherals are also integrated to further enable system consolidation. Four independent 12/16-bit ADCs provide precise and efficient management of multiple analog signals, which ultimately boosts system throughput. The new sigma-delta filter module (SDFM) works in conjunction with the sigma-delta modulator to enable isolated current shunt measurements. The Comparator Subsystem (CMPSS) with windowed comparators allows for protection of power stages when current limit conditions are exceeded or not met. Other analog and control peripherals include the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Enhanced Capture (eCAP), Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP) and other peripherals. Peripherals such as External Memory Interface (EMIF) and Controller Area Network (CAN) modules (ISO11898-1/CAN 2.0B-compliant) extend the connectivity of the C2000 MCUs.

The device configurations supported by this safety manual for TMS320F2838xD MCUs is outlined in the TMS320F2838x Real-Time Microcontrollers with Connectivity Manager data sheet. Not all variants are available in all packages or all temperature grades. To confirm availability, contact your local Texas Instruments sales and marketing.
