Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6678, UCD7242

Hello,

Someone told me that the TMS320C6678 chip has internal temperature and current sensors, however, after reviewing the datasheet, I cannot seem to find a reference to either. So, does the c6678 DSP have either of these sensors?

Thank you for your help.

There are no pinned out temp or current sensors on TMS320C6678. There is a temp sensor but it's used internally for the Smart Reflex implementation and as mentioned it's not pinned out, nor is the temp available via internal registers. There is no current sensors on the device.

The UCD7242 Buck Power Driver suggest as part of the power solution has a current sensing built in.

Best Regards,
Chad
