Overview
SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, 32-bit C28x DSP with 150-MHz CPU clock, 256 KB on-chip Flash (F281x), 18 KB SARAM, and integrated eCAN, McBSP, SCI, SPI, and dual 16-channel 12-bit ADCs. It features an External Interface (XINTF) for parallel memory expansion and is deployed in space-grade motor control, power conversion, and real-time embedded systems requiring TID/ELDRS qualification.
For engineers reviewing the SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 datasheet, SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 pinout, SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 application, or SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include radiation tolerance (up to 100 krad(Si)), extended temperature range (–55°C to 125°C), deterministic real-time interrupt latency, and support for high-resolution PWM generation via dual Event Managers (EVA/EVB).
Technical Context
The SM320F2812PGFMEPG4 implements the C28x CPU core with Harvard bus architecture, supporting 32-bit fixed-point arithmetic and single-cycle multiply-accumulate (MAC). Its memory subsystem includes M0/M1 SARAM (6 KB), L0/L1/H0 SARAM (12 KB), Boot ROM (8 KB), and 256 KB Flash with 4×32 KB sectors and 1×16 KB sector.
Peripheral integration centers on two independent Event Manager modules (EVA/EVB), each providing six PWM outputs, quadrature encoder interface (QEP), capture units, and programmable dead-band generation. The device also integrates a 128-word PIE vector table, 12-channel eCAN controller compliant with ISO 11898-1, and three serial interfaces (McBSP, SCI, SPI) with FIFO support.
