Texas Instruments - Development kit makes cuts cost of high-performance digital control (F28377S)

Texas Instruments has released its low-cost C2000 Delfino F28377S microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad development kit, the first LaunchPad for the Delfino family of MCUs. LaunchPad is based on TI's C2000 Delfino F28377S MCU, which provides 200MHz 32-bit floating-point performance, a newly integrated accelerator, and high-integrity analog and control peripherals. LaunchPad is compatible with Digital Power BoosterPack and Motor Drive BoosterPack and provides various software support to further simplify development. Delfino LaunchPad greatly reduces the barriers to entry for developing high-performance control systems in digital power, solar, motor control and industrial drive applications. The system is compatible with Digital Power BoosterPack (BOOSTXL-BUCKCONV) and Motor Drive BoosterPack (BOOSTXL-DRV8301).) Also available. In addition, the LaunchPad can be bundled with the Digital Power BoosterPack (LAUNCH-XS-BUCKCONV), or it can be bundled with the Motor Drive BoosterPack (LAUNCH-XS-DRV8301). To further simplify development, users can access the free controlSUITE, Energia, TI-RTOS and Code Composer Studio IDE. TI's C2000 Delfino F28377S MCU is sampling now. The company said that TI will also offer designers more variants in this generation, with different memory and peripheral combinations in TMS32028376S, TMS320F28375S and TMS320F28374S configurations.
