TMS570LS3137-EP: Near- and far-term part availability

Part Number: TMS570LS3137-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS3137

Hello,

I created a support ticket for this issue but I was recommended to create a forum post to get in contact with product line engineers instead--

We are working with a customer that has concerns about the supply chain outlook for their project. They are looking for parts that can satisfy the following supply requirements:

  • 50-100 units for internal development available in the next 3 months
  • Ramp up to +1000 units for mass production throughout 2022-2023 (starting at least 30 weeks out from now)

We are currently considering the TMS570LS3137-EP, as well as parts from the TMS570L series (listed here)

I was wondering if you could provide me the following information:

  • What is the supply outlook for the TMS570LS3137-EP and TMS570L series over the time frames describes above? Are there parts available that meet the requirements I've described above? If so, which part numbers? I saw on TI's website that the stock for the first part I mentioned looks alright (in the medium-term but not for mass production), but there is limited stock for the other TMS570L series parts that I filtered with the product selector. 
  • If the supply outlook is not known with a high degree of confidence, what is the procedure for reserving parts? Is there a way to reserve +1000 units over the course of the next ~30 weeks so that they are available for mass production?
  • Is the TMS570LS3137-EP footprint compatible with any of the other TMS570L series parts? If so, which ones?
  • Is there a power consumption calculator available for the TMS570LS3137-EP? I am almost certain from the data in Table 5.5 that this part will not meet our power consumption requirements (stated below) but if there is a tool available to quickly calculate the estimated power consumption of the core and several peripherals, that would be very helpful

For your reference, we are looking for parts with the following features:

  • at least 100 MHz clock speed
  • very low power consumption (<<1W)
  • at least one CAN controller
  • parts with an extended temperature range (-55 to +125C) and/or with AEC qualification are strongly preferred but not required

Thanks,

Veronica

  • Hi Veronica,

    As far as availability for TMS570LS3137-EP or any alternate options, that is not something we can provide insight about on the E2E forums. These forums are for technical support and supply related questions would need to be discussed with local field reps or through TI's customer support center. 

    • Is the TMS570LS3137-EP footprint compatible with any of the other TMS570L series parts? If so, which ones?

    TMS570LS3137-EP will be pin to pin compatible with TMS570LS3137. The difference is that TMS570LS3137 is qualified for -40C to 125C.  

    Is there a power consumption calculator available for the TMS570LS3137-EP? I am almost certain from the data in Table 5.5 that this part will not meet our power consumption requirements (stated below) but if there is a tool available to quickly calculate the estimated power consumption of the core and several peripherals, that would be very helpful

    Datasheet provides formulas to calculate current consumption. Please refer to the datasheet for details. 

    For your reference, we are looking for parts with the following features:

    • at least 100 MHz clock speed
    • very low power consumption (<<1W)
    • at least one CAN controller
    • parts with an extended temperature range (-55 to +125C) and/or with AEC qualification are strongly preferred but not required

    TMS570LS3137-EP will fit the requirements. If -55C is not a requirement then other TMS570LS MCU will also meet the requirements.
