Texas Instruments TMS320F2837xS Delfino 32-Bit Microcontrollers are powerful floating-point MCUs that lets designers consolidate control architectures. They also eliminate multiprocessor use in high-end systems. The real-time control subsystem is based on TI's 32-bit C28x floating-point CPU, which provides 200MHz of signal processing performance. The C28x CPU is further boosted by the new TMU accelerator. This enables fast execution of algorithms with trigonometric operations common in transforms and torque loop calculations. It also includes a VCU accelerator, which reduces the latency for complex math operations common in encoded applications. The F2837xS features a real-time control accelerator, also known as CLA. The CLA provides an additional floating-point accelerator used to run parallel time-critical control algorithms. This provides bandwidth for the C28x to focus on system tasks. The TMS320F2837xS supports up to 1MB of on-board flash memory with error correction code (ECC) and up to 164KB of SRAM. Two 128-bit secure zones are also available on the CPU for code protection.
