TI C2000 MCU Deflector Kit for Digital Conversion

Texas Instruments (TI) announces the first programmable microcontroller (MCU) solution that supports degaussing to digital decoding: The C2000 MCU Deflector Kit lets designers know how to program in a C2000 MCU The software implements digital conversion, saving system cost and space for various industrial applications such as robots, servo drives, automation, aviation and transportation.

The angle resolver is an analog rotary electronic transformer. In the past, a space-consuming high-cost dedicated circuit was needed to convert the digital signal used by the digital processor in the control system. However, the TI C2000 MCU Deflector Kit has the following features and benefits:

Use low-cost MCUs to replace expensive dedicated resolvers into digital chipsets to simplify systems and reduce costs;

Extend functionality by allowing MCUs to handle resolver-to-digital decoding, as well as additional analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling and processing, encoder and Hall interfaces, digital signal processing (DSP) front ends, state logic, and assistance tools Security tasks and other software-programmable instant functions such as full control loops;

Provides complete hardware and includes not only a printed circuit board (PCB) that meets C2000 controlCARD requirements, but also on-board JTAG emulation for software debugging, and a resolver interface that supports filtering, UART and SPI interfaces. 4 analog digital converter (DAC) outputs for debugging and a 15V power supply.

Includes software and hardware development kits:

Software: Free download of C2000 controlSUITE and Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE), an Eclipse-based IDE for embedded software development

Hardware: The full construction of materials, schematics, and PCB design files

Support for 4 software projects on three different C2000 controlCARDs (all purchased separately): TMDSCNCD28335 (floating point), TMDSCNCD28035 (fixed or parallel parallel accelerator (CLA)), and TMDSCNCD28027 (fixed point).

The C2000 MCU Deflector Kit (TMDSRSLVR) is available now. The C2000 controlCARD is now available separately. The controlSUITE software and files are available for download. The C2000 MCU that implements the resolver software is now available (TMS320F280200).
