TMS320F2806: Uniqueness of TMS320F2806PZS

Part Number: TMS320F2806

Dear Sir:


I wonder know if I can get value of the register or other information that can represent the uniqueness of a chip(TMS320F2806PZS).

We want to use this to make a version of the firmware available only one chip(TMS320F2806PZS),which will protect our source code from being copied by customers and burn directly to other chips.

Thank you very much.

  • Faith,

    There is a PARTID register which records the device type:
    0x002C - F2801
    0x0024 – F2802
    0x0034 – F2806
    0x003C – F2808
    0x00FE – F2809
    0x0014 – F28016
    0x001C – F28015
    0xFF2C – C2801
    0xFF24 – C2802


    The REVID register will give you the silicon revision. See p.41 of the datasheet for more information:
    www.ti.com/.../tms320f2808.pdf

    However if you need an absolute unique number for each IC, I regret to say there isn't anything like that on F280x, though it does exist on newer devices such as F2837x. Sorry not to have better news.

    Regards,
