FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the TMS320F28030PAGT?

The TMS320F28030PAGT operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 60 MHz, corresponding to a 16.67 ns instruction cycle time. This speed is achieved using an internal PLL driven by either an external crystal (X1/X2) or a single-ended clock input (XCLKIN), with the on-chip oscillator supporting frequencies from 4 MHz to 20 MHz.

Does the TMS320F28030PAGT include a Control Law Accelerator (CLA)?

No, the TMS320F28030PAGT does not include a CLA. The CLA is present only in the TMS320F28033PAGT and TMS320F28035PAGT variants. The TMS320F28030PAGT relies solely on its C28x CPU for real-time control computations, making it suitable for applications where algorithm complexity fits within the 60-MHz CPU bandwidth.

How many ADC channels does the TMS320F28030PAGT support, and what is its conversion speed?

The TMS320F28030PAGT integrates a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with 16 input channels and a maximum sampling rate of 2 MSPS. Its conversion time is 500 ns, and it includes dual sample-and-hold circuitry - enabling simultaneous sampling of multiple analog signals critical for vector-controlled motor drives and multi-phase power converters.

What serial communication interfaces are available on the TMS320F28030PAGT?

The TMS320F28030PAGT provides one SCI (UART-compatible), two SPI modules, one I²C module, one LIN module, and one eCAN module. These interfaces support diagnostics, host communication, sensor interfacing, and automotive network connectivity - with dedicated FIFOs (4-level) in each serial peripheral to minimize CPU overhead during high-speed data transfer.

Is the TMS320F28030PAGT pin-compatible with other devices in the F2803x family?

Yes, the TMS320F28030PAGT is pin-compatible with other 64-pin PAG-packaged F2803x devices, including TMS320F28031PAGT, TMS320F28032PAGT, TMS320F28033PAGT, and TMS320F28034PAGT. All share identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and thermal profiles - allowing hardware reuse across firmware variants with differing memory sizes and peripheral enablement.
