The Texas Instruments F280041PZQR is a 32-bit C28x Piccolo MCU built for real-time control in automotive and industrial systems. It runs a single C28x core at 100 MHz, with 128 KB of program Flash and 100K x 8 of RAM — enough for sensorless field-oriented control loops or digital power conversion firmware. The part is AEC-Q100 qualified and covers the -40°C to 125°C ambient range, so it is rated for under-hood and transmission-mounted electronics where the OEM auditor will ask for PPAP documentation.
100-LQFP (14x14) — 26 I/O and peripherals
The 100-pin LQFP body measures 14x14 mm — a standard footprint that fits a four-layer board with a ground plane under the thermal pad. Only 26 I/O are brought out on this package variant; the remaining pins are dedicated to power, ground, and the internal voltage regulator. The peripheral set includes CANbus, LINbus, SPI, I²C, SCI, and UART/USART, plus a 12-bit ADC with 21 channels and two 12-bit DACs. Brown-out detect and POR are integrated, so no external supervisor is needed for basic power monitoring.
