1.4 Device Information

The F28E120SC is a single-core 32-bit floating-point microcontroller with 128KB Flash memory, 16KB RAM, and operates at 160MHz. The microcontroller includes advanced control peripherals, differentiated analog, and various communications peripherals. The device has been optimized for high-performance real-time control applications. For more details, see the F28E12x Real-Time Microcontrollers data sheet.

Most of the microcontroller signals are routed to 0.1 inch (2.54mm) pitch headers laid out to comply with the TI BoosterPack standards, with a few exceptions. The F28E12x MCU internal multiplexer allows different peripheral functions to be assigned to each of the General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins. The multiplexing options can be found in the device-specific data sheet. When adding external circuitry, consider the additional load on the development board power rails.

The F28E12x LaunchPad is factory-programmed with a quick start demo program. The quick start program resides in the on-chip Flash memory and executes each time power is applied, unless the application has been replaced with a user program. For details on the LaunchPad demo program, see Section 3.1.2.
