FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the SM320F2812PGFMEP CPU core?

The SM320F2812PGFMEP CPU core operates at a maximum frequency of 150 MHz, achieved via its integrated PLL that multiplies a 30-MHz external clock input. This yields a 6.67-ns instruction cycle time, enabling sub-microsecond execution of critical control loops. The SM320F2812PGFMEP maintains this speed across its full –55°C to 125°C operating range without derating, as verified in Section 6.13 of SGUS051B.

Does the SM320F2812PGFMEP include on-chip Flash memory, and what is its capacity?

Yes, the SM320F2812PGFMEP integrates 256 KB of on-chip Flash memory, exclusively available in the F2812 variant (not present in C2812). This Flash is radiation-hardened to 100 krad(Si) and supports in-system programming with error correction. The SM320F2812PGFMEP uses it for non-volatile storage of control algorithms, calibration data, and boot code - eliminating need for external memory in most space-grade motor controllers.

What ADC capabilities does the SM320F2812PGFMEP provide for precision current sensing?

The SM320F2812PGFMEP features a 12-bit, 16-channel analog-to-digital converter with 12.5-MSPS maximum sampling rate and simultaneous dual-channel sampling mode. For current sensing, this allows phase-current and bus-voltage acquisition at identical timestamps - critical for accurate torque estimation in FOC. The SM320F2812PGFMEP ADC supports internal 3.3-V reference or external reference, with specified integral nonlinearity of ±1 LSB over temperature.

How is the SM320F2812PGFMEP qualified for space applications?

The SM320F2812PGFMEP is fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V, including 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose tolerance, single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity up to 75 MeV·cm²/mg, and operation from –55°C to 125°C. It undergoes lot acceptance testing for parametric stability and burn-in screening. These qualifications are documented in TI's SM320F2812PGFMEP datasheet (SGUS051B) and QML-V certification reports - confirming suitability for LEO, GEO, and interplanetary missions.

What communication interfaces are available on the SM320F2812PGFMEP for system integration?

The SM320F2812PGFMEP provides eCAN 2.0B, Multichannel Buffered Serial Port (McBSP), Serial Communications Interface (SCI), and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). eCAN supports deterministic 1-Mbps messaging for distributed control networks; McBSP enables high-speed audio/sensor data streaming to FPGAs; SCI operates as standard UART for debug and telemetry; and SPI interfaces with external DACs, ADCs, or configuration EEPROMs. All interfaces are radiation-hardened and operate across the full temperature range.
