TMDSCNCD28388D: New dsp TMS320F28388D overview

Part Number: TMDSCNCD28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSCNCD28379D, TIDM-1000, TMS320F28379D, TMS320F28388D

Hi,

I'm an engineer in power electronics and my goal is to migrate from Microchip DSP to TI DSP.

I have a similar question as above: can we use the TMDSCNCD28388D control card instead of the TMDSCNCD28379D control card in the TIDM-1000 "Vienna Rectifier-Based Three Phase Power Factor Correction Reference Design Using C2000 MCU" application ?

What are the main differences between TMS320F28379D and TMS320F28388D ? It seems that they are pin to pin compatible (as regards the 337-ball version).

Do you have specific trainings related to power electronics and getting started with TMS320F28388D ?

Thanks for your help.

Adrien.

  • Hi Adrien,

    Glad to hear you are moving to C2000. 

    1. Yes, you absolutely can use F2838x for TIDM-1000 and we already have TIDM-1000 reference code based on F2838x in Digital power SDK so you can refer.

    2. Yes, they are pin to pin compatible. Thread below might provide more information.

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/860522?TMS320F28388D-BGA-and-pin-compatibility-with-F28379D

        The main difference is that F2838x has an extra ARM core supporting connectivity manager and we actually showcase using ethernet to control Vienna rectifier in TIDM-1000 reference design. In F2838x, we also have the FSI (Fast Serial Interface) for high speed isolated communication that F2837x does not have.

    3. You can refer to the F2838x data sheet and TIDM-1000 user guide for more information. And also the F2838x based  TIDM-1000 software is available in digital power sdk.

    Regards,

    Chen

  • Thanks for the information (I will have a look at the firmware available on F2838x).

    The reason is that I need more MIPS due to a complex regulation at a quite high switching frequency. And the two C28x CPU + 2 CLA (+ the extra ARM) would be much better. But I need to learn a new philosophy with TI C2000...

    Regards,
