16-bit DSP with integrated control peripherals
The TMS320LF2402PGS: It integrates 16 KB of on-chip Flash program memory, an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, a serial communications interface (SCI), PWM generation, a watchdog timer, and a power-on-reset circuit — all in a 64-pin QFP package. This part is aimed at embedded control applications such as motor drives, digital power conversion, and industrial automation where a single-chip DSP with analog capture and PWM outputs replaces a multi-IC control path.
The 30 MHz clock rate on the C2xx core delivers a 33 ns instruction cycle, fast enough to close current-control loops in motor drives and power supplies at typical PWM switching frequencies. The 16-bit data path and single-cycle multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit handle the fixed-point math in PID compensators and Park/Clarke transforms without an external co-processor. If your algorithm needs more than 16-bit precision or higher sample rates, the 32-bit C28x family (e.g., F280041PZQR) is the architectural step up — but for cost-sensitive 16-bit control, this core is the right fit.
16 KB Flash and 8-channel 10-bit ADC
The 16 KB on-chip Flash stores the firmware and lookup tables; confirm your compiled code size fits before committing the BOM. The 8-channel 10-bit ADC samples analog signals — current-sense shunt voltages, potentiometer feedback, temperature inputs — at a rate adequate for most industrial control loops. No external ADC is needed for basic sensing, which saves board area and cost.
Industrial temperature range and 3 V supply
The 3 V nominal supply rail aligns with common 3.3 V logic families — a simple LDO from a 5 V or 12 V bus provides the core voltage.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life pressure
For long-term supply planning, the 32-bit Piccolo family (F280041PZQR) is a functional migration path with a 32-bit C28x core and 100 MHz clock, but it is not a pin-for-pin drop-in.
