Texas Instruments TMS320F2802PZA-60

Overview

TMS320F2802PZA-60 from Texas Instruments is a 60-MHz C28x digital signal processor optimized for real-time motor control and digital power conversion. It integrates a 32-bit CPU, 32K × 16 flash memory, 6K × 16 SARAM, 12-bit 16-channel ADC (3.75 MSPS), three 32-bit CPU timers, six ePWM channels with HRPWM capability, and dual CAN interfaces - all in a 100-pin LQFP package operating at 1.8-V core / 3.3-V I/O.

For engineers reviewing the TMS320F2802PZA-60 datasheet, TMS320F2802PZA-60 pinout, TMS320F2802PZA-60 application, or TMS320F2802PZA-60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-MHz deterministic execution, on-chip code security (128-bit key), 150-ps HRPWM resolution, eCAN-A support, and A-grade temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) for industrial embedded control.

Technical Context

The TMS320F2802PZA-60 implements the C28x CPU core with Harvard architecture, atomic operations, and unified memory model - enabling deterministic low-latency interrupt response (<100 ns) and efficient C/C++ code execution. Its system control includes an on-chip oscillator, PLL, watchdog timer, and configurable low-power modes (IDLE/STANDBY/HALT).

Peripheral integration centers on real-time control: ePWM modules support dead-time insertion and trip-zone protection; the 12-bit ADC features dual sample-and-hold and simultaneous sampling across two 8-channel MUX banks; PIE block routes 43 peripheral interrupts with prioritized vectoring to minimize latency in closed-loop systems.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the TMS320F2802PZA-60?

The TMS320F2802PZA-60 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 60 MHz, corresponding to a 16.67-ns instruction cycle time. This is achieved using the on-chip PLL, which multiplies an external crystal or clock input. The device does not support 100-MHz operation - that capability is reserved for the F2809/F2808 variants. All timing-critical peripherals (ePWM, ADC, CAN) are synchronized to this 60-MHz clock domain.

Does the TMS320F2802PZA-60 include on-chip flash memory and security features?

Yes, the TMS320F2802PZA-60 includes 32K × 16 words of on-chip flash memory and supports full 128-bit code-security locking of flash, SARAM, and OTP blocks. This prevents unauthorized read-out and firmware cloning. The device also includes a 1K × 16 OTP memory for permanent configuration storage and a 4K × 16 boot ROM with serial boot modes (SCI, SPI, I²C).

How many PWM and HRPWM channels does the TMS320F2802PZA-60 support?

The TMS320F2802PZA-60 supports six ePWM modules (ePWM1–ePWM3, each with A/B outputs) for a total of 6 primary PWM outputs. It also provides six HRPWM outputs (ePWM1A/2A/3A) with 150-ps minimum pulse width resolution - enabling precise gate timing for SiC and GaN power devices. Trip-zone inputs (TZ1–TZ4) allow hardware-level fault shutdown independent of CPU execution.

What ADC performance does the TMS320F2802PZA-60 deliver?

The TMS320F2802PZA-60 integrates a 12-bit, 16-channel ADC with a maximum throughput of 3.75 MSPS (267 ns conversion time). It features two independent 8-channel input multiplexers (ADCINA/B), dual sample-and-hold circuits, and support for both single and simultaneous conversions - essential for synchronous current sensing in three-phase motor control.

Is the TMS320F2802PZA-60 pin-compatible with other F280x devices in the PZ package?

Yes, the TMS320F2802PZA-60 shares identical pinout and footprint with other 100-pin PZ-package F280x/C280x devices (e.g., F2801PZA, F2806PZA, F2808PZA), including identical power, ground, JTAG, and peripheral signal assignments. However, peripheral enablement differs - for example, only F2802PZA and higher variants include eCAN-A, while F2801PZA omits CAN entirely. PCB layout reuse is possible, but firmware must match enabled peripherals.
