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
