Helping bring processor intensive, real-time control to cost-sensitive applications and broadening its overall MCU portfolio, Texas Instruments Incorporated announced a new series of 32-bit TMS320F2802x/F2803x microcontrollers (MCU) starting at less than $2 in volume. The new Piccolo F2802x/F2803x microcontrollers feature architectural advancements and enhanced peripherals in package sizes starting at 38-pins to bring the benefits of 32-bit real-time control to applications typically unable to justify the associated cost. Real-time control offers greater system efficiency and precision through the implementation of advanced algorithms for industrial, consumer and automotive applications such as solar power micro-inverters, LED lighting, white goods appliances and hybrid automotive batteries.
