TMS320F28235,
TMS320F28234, and
TMS320F28232 controllers provide fully compatible fixed- and floating-point options for high-end embedded control
Providing a time-to-market breakthrough for embedded control systems, TI announced the new TMS320F282x
controllers – the first fixed-point digital signal controllers (DSCs) that are entirely compatible
in hardware and software with high-performance floating-point DSCs. The new TMS320F282x series of DSCs combine
the affordability of a fixed-point architecture with the faster software development inherent to floating-point
devices. Floating-point algorithms that previously required significant recoding for fixed-point operation can
now be recompiled in minutes to run on the F282x devices. The new DSCs bring savings in time to market and
manufacturing costs, enabling developers to design energy efficient, less expense industrial applications
such as servo controllers, automotive radar, solar inverters and wind turbines.

World’s First Floating Point Digital Signal Controllers Enable "Greener" Industrial Applications
TMS320F2833x DSCs boost performance fifty percent
and simplify software development for solar power and other applications.
Helping industrial control designers increase energy efficiency and system performance, TI announces
the industry’s first floating point digital signal controllers. The new TMS320F2833x devices provide 300
million floating point instructions per second (MFLOPS) performance at 150 MHz while providing the lower
costs typically associated with fixed point processors. When combined with simplified software development
common to floating-point processors, this performance boost allows solar power inverters to more efficiently
convert energy from photovoltaic (PV) panels, offers better power efficiency and performance to variable
speed alternating current (AC) drives and provides greater performance for automotive radar applications.

Three-Phase Asynchronous Motors Incorporate FOC for Quieter, Faster and More Efficient
White Goods at Lower System Costs
As fuel prices and electric power rates continue to climb, the incentives for energy
savings have never been greater. Embracing this opportunity for conservation, Tier Electronics
LLC and Texas Instruments Incorporated announced that TI's digital signal processing- (DSP)
based TMS320C2000™ controllers are the key component in Tier’s motor control system for washing
machines and other white goods. System designers using Tier’s Mini Universal Power Converter
(UPC) can harness the processing power and efficiency of TI’s C2000™ controller that, when
combined with Intelligent Power Modules (IPM) and pressure-stamped heat sinks, can reduce costs
by up to 25% by halving component counts and can deliver up to 30% better efficiency compared to
conventional microcontroller (MCU) or discrete-based designs. The reduction in parts count will
also improve MTBF (mean time between failure) ratings. Learn more
