Its 90 MHz C28x core, 128 KB Flash, and 50 KB RAM handle the math and buffer for one or two control loops with headroom for comms stack overhead. The 12-channel 12-bit ADC samples synchronised with the PWM timers — a common topology for field-oriented control.
Rated for -40 to 125 °C, the part suits under-hood automotive, outdoor solar inverters, and engine-bay controls.
On-chip peripherals include CANbus, I²C, SPI, SCI, UART, and McBSP for serial audio or multi-processor links. The 40 GPIOs map to most of these interfaces; the DMA engine offloads data movement without stalling the C28x pipeline.
