Texas Instruments announced the new TMS320F2803x Piccolo™ microcontrollers (MCUs) with Control Law Accelerator (CLA) delivering up to 5X performance to improve functionality and efficiency of applications such as LED lighting, motor control and digital power.

Unique to TI’s F2803x Piccolo MCUs, the CLA is a 32-bit floating-point math accelerator that operates independently of the C28x core, allowing for direct access to on-chip peripherals and parallel execution of algorithms. The new MCUs are based on an enhanced tightly coupled control architecture with integrated real-time control peripherals to simplify development of complex systems. Leveraging the performance and integration of the F2803x series, developers can use a single MCU to design cost-sensitive industrial, digital power and consumer applications such as LED lighting and white goods/appliances.

• 60 MHz C28x core and 60 MHz CLA provide performance necessary to execute complex control algorithms with a single Piccolo MCU
   
• Flexible control peripherals such as high-resolution PWMs, high-speed 12-bit ADC and
  32-bit captures reduce sample-to-output delay and improve system response
   
• 32-bit Control Law Accelerator
  • Direct access to on-chip control peripherals for parallel execution of algorithms
  • Fully programmable IEEE floating-point unit reduces scaling and saturation burden
  • Operates independently of the C28x core for efficient software partitioning
• Wide range of F2803x configurations provides flexibility to scale designs: 64KB to 128KB flash, 64-pin/80-pin packages
