TMS320C28346: TMS320C28346

Part Number: TMS320C28346

Hello to everyones,

for my next project I am looking for a suitable microcontroller.

The application is the motor control and I am interested in TMS320C28346.

However, I can not find the User Guide Manual (TRM).

Currently, I have downloaded only the datasheet, which does not have details about registers etc.

Where can I download the TRM of the TMS320C28346?

Thanks,

Benito

  • Benito,

                    TMS320C28346 does not have a unified TRM for all peripherals, like our newer devices. Instead, each peripheral has its own User Guide that you need to download from the device homepage: https://www.ti.com/product/TMS320C28346

    TMS320C28346 is a very powerful microcontroller and we have no plans of obsoleting it anytime soon. However, please be aware that this MCU neither has on-chip Flash nor on-chip ADC. You need to come up with a means of storing your code externally and copying it to the on-chip RAM every time you boot. Similarly, if your application needs a ADC, you need to interface an external ADC. I encourage you to look at our newer generation devices, which are just as powerful (if not more) with more features and advanced peripherals. Often, these newer devices actually cost less than the TMS320C28346. For example, our TMS320F28388 is a very powerful MCU, which has both on-chip Flash and ADC, thereby saving you even more money.

  • Dear Hareesh Janakiraman,

    thank you for your feedback.

     In my next application the code is stored in the flash memory of the 66AK2G12x.  Therefore, at the power up, the code for the motor control has to be copied from the flash memory of the 66AK2G12x to the on-chip RAM of the new microcontroller.

    Is the microcontrollor TMS320F28388 suitable in this scenario?

    Is it possible to configure the TMS320F28388  to perform a BOOT FROM RAM? In which RAM BANK I can upload the code?

    Thank you,

    Benito

    Instead of doing that, you could store the motor control code in the Flash memory of F28388 itself.

    It would be far more simpler to store your firmware in Flash and boot to Flash upon powerup.
