C2000™ 32-bit microcontrollers

Sense feedback, process the response and actuate control systems with minimal latency.

C2000 real-time control MCUs use a proprietary 32-bit core - the C28x CPU - offering single-cycle operations and up to 300 MIPS coupled with a highly-optimized peripheral and interrupt management bus.  With powerful, integrated peripherals, these real-time, single-chip control solutions are designed for a variety of control applications.

• Rapid and accurate sensing 
• Specialized processing to minimize latency
• Precise, configurable actuation

More performance per MHz and unique acceleration let you do more than the average MCU.

The C28x math-optimized core gives designers the flexibility to improve system efficiency and system reliability.  As a cross between a microcontroller and a digital signal processor, C2000 real-time controllers bring the code density and execution speed of a DSP with the ease of use and accessibility of a microcontroller.  

Accelerators

When combined with the high performance C28x CPU core, fast and efficient processing power required for complex real-time control systems can be realized. There are four available integrated on-chip hardware accelerators that dramatically increase the performance of the C2000 MCU: 

• Floating-point accelerator
• Complex math and CRC unit (VCU) accelerator
• Trigonometric math unit (TMU) accelerator
• Control law accelerator (CLA)

Embedded real-time controllers need purpose-built peripherals to deliver integrated system-on-chip solutions for the most demanding closed-loop control systems. Sensing peripherals with the proper speed, accuracy, and resolution that coordinate with actuation (timing) peripherals - which apply the processed calculation to the control system – are required, along with industry standard communication peripherals to implement connected and intelligent applications.

Operate efficiently, increase performance, and implement advanced control techniques.

• Micro-edge positioning technology creates precise PWM waveforms to increase system performance
• Technology-packed PWM modules support advanced timing and generation techniques to control complex power stages
• PWM trip logic provides reactive and asynchronous system protection with included high-performance analog sensing circuitry

Premium integrated analog

The C2000 platform offers a variety of analog peripherals, such as ADC, DAC, programmable gain amplifiers, comparators, sigma-delta filters, and high-resolution capture for the purpose of increasing fidelity of control system inputs while reducing system costs.

Precise sensing

• Up to 12.5 mega-samples-per-second (MSPS) conversion rates
• 12-bit to 16-bit sampling resolutions
• Sigma-delta filter modules for isolated current sensing or resolver position decoding
• PGAs for easy signal conditioning
  

Responsive protection

• Comparator tied directly to PWM for asynchronous PWM trip
• High speed, 30ns comparator outputs
  

Digital interfacing

• High-resolution digital signal capture with precise 150ps resolution
• High-performance motor speed and position interfacing
  

Configurable Logic Block (CLB)

The CLB peripheral allows you to augment existing C2000 peripherals and implement custom logic.  This can enable you to integrate critical functions into a single C2000 MCU and reduce in size or completely eliminate your FPGA, CPLD, or external logic components.  

Things that can be designed with the CLB:

• Advanced PWM protection schemes for reliability and safety
• Complex PWM generation, burst mode PWM, and periodic blanking
• Complex signal capture and sequence detection
• Logic based filters and signal conditioning
• Task profiling and time threshold monitoring
• Highly customized general purpose outputs
• Pulse train outputs
• Absolute encoder interfaces 
  

C2000 real-time control MCUs come with a variety of connectivity options to keep applications in sync with serial interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART and McBSP, protocols such as CAN and LIN and standards such as USB and FSI.

C2000 MCU families address wide-ranging real-time control applications to sense feedback, process a control response, and actuate the system with minimal latency.

• Price points from entry to top performance
• Application-tuned feature-sets
• Integrated flash memory sizes from 16 KB to 1 MB
• Temperature ranges from –40°C to 125°C and AEC-Q100 qualification
• Security enablers including software IP protection and debug security
• Wide-array of package options
