Product details

The Texas Instruments TMS320F241FN is a 16-bit fixed-point DSP from the C24x family, clocked at 20 MHz with 16 KB of on-chip Flash program memory and 1K x 8 RAM. It integrates a C2xx DSP core, a 10-bit 8-channel ADC, and peripherals including CAN, SCI, SPI, and UART interfaces, plus PWM and watchdog timer.

Obsolete — sourcing reality for the TMS320F241FN

Memory and peripheral fit for the BOM

The 16 KB Flash (8K x 16) and 1K x 8 RAM are modest by modern standards. Firmware for a typical motor-control or power-conversion application from the early 2000s fits within this footprint, but adding features or patches may exceed it. The 26 I/O pins, CAN 2.0B controller, and two serial interfaces (SCI, SPI) cover most industrial fieldbus and sensor connections. The 8-channel 10-bit ADC samples at rates adequate for current sensing and position feedback in low-to-mid-speed drives. The 68-PLCC package with J-leads is surface-mount; a socket is recommended for prototyping to avoid thermal stress during rework.

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for TMS320F241FN?

Texas Instruments does not list a direct pin-compatible replacement for the TMS320F241FN. Any substitution requires a board redesign, typically to a newer C2000 family member such as the TMS320F280x or TMS320F2833x series, which offer higher performance and more memory but differ in pinout and peripheral set.

Where can I buy TMS320F241FN?

The TMS320F241FN is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — contact us with your volume and target price.

How does TMS320F241FN compare to TMS320F2812?

The TMS320F2812 is a higher-performance 32-bit fixed-point DSP from the same C2000 family, running at 150 MHz with 128 KB Flash and 18 KB RAM, plus a 12-bit ADC. It is not pin-compatible with the TMS320F241FN and requires a different PCB layout. The F2812 targets more demanding control applications where the F241FN's 20 MHz and 16 KB Flash are insufficient.

Is the TMS320F241FN still available via RFQ confirmation anywhere?

Stock of the TMS320F241FN is limited to surplus and broker inventories. We can check current availability and provide a quote upon request — no guaranteed stock figures are published.

What is TMS320F241FN's listed speed?

The TMS320F241FN is rated at 20 MHz, which corresponds to a 50 ns instruction cycle for most single-cycle operations.
