Product details
Overview
TMS320F28051PNQ from Texas Instruments is a 60-MHz C28x-core real-time microcontroller with integrated CLA accelerator, 12-bit ADC (2 MSPS), 14 ePWM channels, and AEC Q100-qualified automotive-grade operation (–40°C to 125°C). It delivers deterministic motor control in space-constrained inverters and BLDC drives using on-chip PGAs, comparators, and eCAN.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320F28051PNQ datasheet, TMS320F28051PNQ pinout, TMS320F28051PNQ application, or TMS320F28051PNQ equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated automotive thermal performance, confirmed 80-pin LQFP package mapping, and real-world motor-control use cases - all derived from TI's SPRS797F production datasheet.
Technical Context
The TMS320F28051PNQ implements a Harvard-architecture C28x CPU with atomic instruction execution and unified memory model, enabling cycle-accurate timing for closed-loop motor control. Its dual-zone security module enforces code protection via 128-bit key lock and secure ROM partitioning.
It integrates an analog front end with six comparators (two with internal 6-bit DAC references), three PGAs (gain ≈ 3/6/11), and a buffered reference DAC - all directly routable to ePWM trip zones for hardware-based fault response without CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the TMS320F28051PNQ?
The TMS320F28051PNQ operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 60 MHz, delivering a 16.67-ns instruction cycle time. This speed is guaranteed across its full automotive temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and supports deterministic execution of motor control algorithms with sub-microsecond interrupt latency. The device uses internal zero-pin oscillators or external crystal/clock sources to achieve this timing stability.
Does the TMS320F28051PNQ include a hardware math accelerator?
No, the TMS320F28051PNQ does not include the Programmable Control Law Accelerator (CLA). Unlike the TMS320F28054PNQ or TMS320F28055PNQ, the TMS320F28051PNQ omits the CLA block - all control law computation must be handled by the main C28x CPU. This is confirmed in TI's Device Comparison Table (SPRS797F, Table 5-1), where CLA is marked "No" for the 28051 variant.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the TMS320F28051PNQ?
The TMS320F28051PNQ integrates a 12-bit, 2-MSPS ADC with 16 channels and dual sample-and-hold; six analog comparators (two with internal 6-bit DAC references); three programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs) with gains of ≈3, 6, or 11; one buffered reference DAC; and four digital filters. These are documented in the Device Comparison table and Analog Peripherals section of SPRS797F.
Is the TMS320F28051PNQ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMS320F28051PNQ carries the "Q" suffix indicating AEC Q100 qualification for automotive use. It is rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C, includes missing-clock detection, built-in watchdog timer, and brownout reset - all verified per AEC Q100-004 and Q100-006 stress test standards. Its PN package is listed in TI's official automotive-orderable part matrix.
What is the Flash memory capacity of the TMS320F28051PNQ?
The TMS320F28051PNQ contains 16 KB of on-chip Flash memory organized as 16-bit words. This capacity is sufficient for basic field-oriented control (FOC) firmware, boot code, and calibration data. The Device Comparison Table (SPRS797F, Table 5-1) explicitly lists "16K" for Flash in the 28051 row, distinguishing it from higher-memory variants like the 28052 (32K) and 28054 (64K).
