It runs at 40 MHz, carries 16 KB of Flash and 2K x 16 of RAM, and integrates a 7-channel 12-bit ADC plus I²C, SCI, SPI, and UART serial interfaces.
At 40 MHz the C28x pipeline executes a single-cycle MAC, which is enough for a current loop with a few state observers. For a single motor axis or a buck converter, the timing margin is comfortable.
Industrial temperature grade and package
The 38-TSSOP package (0.240-inch body width, 6.10 mm) is a fine-pitch surface-mount part — hand-solderable with a fine tip and flux, but easier to place with a stencil and reflow. The 20 I/O pins are enough for a handful of sensor inputs, a few PWM outputs, and a serial debug link.
