The TMS320F28P55x (F28P55x) is a member of the C2000™ real-time microcontroller family of scalable, ultra-low latency devices designed for efficiency in power electronics, including but not limited to: high power density, high switching frequencies, and supporting the use of GaN and SiC technologies.
These include such applications as:
The real-time control subsystem is based on TI’s 32-bit C28x DSP core, which provides 150 MIPS of signal-processing performance in each core for floating- or fixed-point code running from either on-chip flash or SRAM. The C28x CPU is further boosted by the Trigonometric Math Unit (TMU) and VCRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) extended instruction sets, speeding up common algorithms key to real-time control systems. Extended instruction sets enable IEEE double-precision 32-bit floating-point math. Finally, the Control Law Accelerator (CLA) enables an additional 150 MIPS per core of independent processing ability. Machine learning is supported with the addition of the Neural-network Processing Unit (NPU), capable of 600 MOPS on 8-bit weight/8-bit data across multiple NN layers.
To allow fast context switching from existing to new firmware, hardware enhancements for Live Firmware Update (LFU) have been added to F28P55x.
High-performance analog blocks are tightly integrated with the processing and control units to provide optimal real-time signal chain performance. The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) has been enhanced with up to 39 analog channels, 22 of which have general-purpose input/output (GPIO) capability. Implementation of oversampling is greatly simplified with hardware improvement. For safety-critical ADC conversions, a hardware redundancy checker has been added. The hardware redundancy checker provides the ability to compare ADC conversion results from multiple ADC modules for consistency without additional CPU cycles. Three Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) are present, supporting unity gain as well as up to 64x of non-inverting gain. Twenty-four frequency-independent PWMs, 16 with high-resolution capability, enable control of multiple power stages, from 3-phase inverters to advanced multilevel power topologies.
The inclusion of the Configurable Logic Block (CLB) allows the user to add custom logic and potentially integrate FPGA-like functions into the C2000 real-time MCU.
Industry-standard protocols like CAN FD and USB 2.0 are available on this device. The Fast Serial Interface (FSI) enables up to 200 Mbps of robust communications across an isolation boundary. Enhancements have been made to the PMBUS module to support Fast Plus mode.
