MCU Selection

MCU Selection and Programming Software/Hardware

Hello TI Team,

Firstly, thank you for this forum organization. We are writing to you for learning how we can select MCU for our system design. We want to use MCU for multi-tasking. For example, the MCU drives BLDC (Brushless DC) motor or PMS (Permanent Magnet Synchoronous) motor and we can control the speed of these motors. At the same time, the MCU collects data from the sensors on the system and writes the data to a display or sends to PLC. The MCU which is in the electric actuator on the control valves, provides wireless communication (with Wi-Fi module or Bluetooth module). In this case, which the MCU should be chosen by us? What are your suggestions?

We will programme the MCUs, but how? What will we use as a software and a hardware? Are the Development Kit/Board necessary for our work?

We are looking forward your suggestions and technical supports.

Have a nice day!

    Hello,

    In general our C2000 series of devices is most suited to 3-ph motor control and talking to a PLC through wired communications (EtherCAT, CAN, CAN-FD, SPI, Ethernet, or TI 200 Mbps Fast Serial Interface).   This is a portfolio of products from single 100 MHz FPU in 48-pin to 4 x 200 MHz FPU in 337-ball packages, 64 KB Flash to 1.5 MB.

    www.ti.com/c2000

    For wireless communications - could talk to C2000 over a serial port - please see our Simple Link MCUs

    https://www.ti.com/microcontrollers/simplelink-mcus/overview.html

    All of the programmable MCUs use TI's free IDE called Code Composer Studio for writing your embedded code.

    Software Development Kits are available for each for baseline software as well as application specific examples.

    EVMs are very helpful for evaluating our products and potentially building a prototype system to verify functionality.

    Best of luck
