TMS320F2806X Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) Texas Instruments – 15+ new C2000 Piccolo MCUs offering fl oating-point precision and increased math capabilities

Piccolo^™ MCUs: TMS320F2806x
15+ new C2000^™ Piccolo MCUs offering
floating-point precision and increased math capabilities
3 key new attributes for F2806x
• Floating-point ease of use and
performance in a Piccolo package
• New features like USB, VCU (Viterbi
Complex Math Unit), High-Res Capture
• 256KB Flash, 100KB RAM starting at
under U.S. $5
What do these Piccolo devices
bring?
These new devices add more memory and
peripherals to the Piccolo family. But most
importantly, they bring in new technologies and
floating-point processing to the Piccolo MCU
family.
What is Piccolo again?
First introduced in 4Q 2008, Piccolo represents
a real-time control solution for cost-sensitive
applications. Piccolo is named for its:
• Small size – starting at 7×7 mm
• Low cost – starting at less than U.S. $2
• High analog integration – oscillators, compar-
ators, BOR/POR, voltage regulator, ADC
So what are these new
technologies you speak of?
These F2806x devices bring a few new
peripherals to the game:
• New technology: VCU for complex math
processing, such as FFTs, Viterbi decoding
and CRC
• New technology: High-Resolution
Capture (HRCAP)
• USB 2.0 host: for the first time on C2000
MCUs
• DMA, McBSP, FPU: for the first time on
Piccolo
What tools are there?
There will be a new, low-cost controlSTICK
for instant plug-and-play with your computer.
The F28069 controlSTICK includes on-board
emulation, so it’s a complete development kit,
along with TI’s Code Composer Studio™ v4
IDE and graphical programming for a phenom-
enal $39. There will also be an Experimenter’s
Kit with the F28069 controlCARD. The
controlCARD will also be sold individually and
can be plugged into all existing evaluation and
application kits.
What software is available?
Piccolo F2806x will be the first C2000 device
to be released into controlSUITE™ software.
It means that right at launch, engineers will
have access to all available resources for
F2806x and C2000 MCUs – including the
Device Support Package, math and application
libraries, tools software and examples, training
and much more. See more about controlSUITE
software and download for free at

Can you tell me more about the VCU?
The Viterbi Complex Math Unit (VCU)
significantly reduces processing time (up to
7.5×) of common complex math operations via
new instructions optimized for Viterbi, complex
math and CRC. The VCU can be used in many
applications, but it is particularly useful for
protocols in power line communication (PLC),
where noisy environments require robust
encoding and filtering.
What applications does it go in?
F2806x is a great fit for control-heavy
applications or applications looking to add
communication via PLC or USB
• Industrial: AC servos, inverters, CNC, drives
and motor control, lighting, process and
valve controls
• Power conversion: HEV/EV, solar /
renewable energy, line monitoring, protection
• Power line communication integration:
Solar + PLC, Lighting + PLC, HEV + PLC
• Precision control and sensing
applications
When can customers get silicon
and tools?
Both samples and tools will be available
immediately upon launch on January 11, 2011.
