Product details
Overview
TMS320F28051PNT 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 analog front-end including 6 comparators, 2 internal DACs, and 3 PGAs - deployed in motor control subsystems for HVAC inverters and BLDC drives.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320F28051PNT datasheet, TMS320F28051PNT pinout, TMS320F28051PNT application, or TMS320F28051PNT equivalent, key selection criteria include CPU+CLA dual-execution capability, 80-pin LQFP package with 42 GPIOs, single 3.3-V supply operation, and AEC-Q100-qualified temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) for industrial and automotive-grade motion control.
Technical Context
The TMS320F28051PNT implements a Harvard-architecture C28x CPU executing at 60 MHz (16.67-ns cycle time) with atomic operations and unified memory model, paired with an independent 32-bit floating-point CLA for real-time control law execution without CPU intervention.
Its analog subsystem integrates a 12-bit ADC with 2-MSPS sampling rate and 500-ns conversion time, dual-sample-and-hold, and a configurable AFE comprising six comparators (two with internal 6-bit DAC references), three programmable-gain amplifiers (gain ≈ 3, 6, or 11), and one buffered reference DAC - all mapped to dedicated analog ground pins (M1GND, M2GND, PFCGND).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| CPU Core | C28x 32-bit fixed-point core at 60 MHz; enables deterministic real-time loop execution in motor control firmware. |
| CLA Accelerator | Independent 32-bit floating-point math accelerator; offloads PID, FOC, and observer calculations from main CPU. |
| ADC Performance | 12-bit, 2-MSPS, 500-ns conversion time; supports high-resolution current/voltage sensing in fast-switching inverters. |
| Analog Front End | 6 comparators, 2 internal DACs, 3 PGAs, 1 buffered VREFOUT DAC; enables direct PWM trip generation and signal conditioning without external components. |
| ePWM Channels | 14 independent ePWM outputs with dead-band, trip-zone, and synchronization; sufficient for 3-phase inverter + auxiliary control signals. |

Pinout & Package
80-pin Low-Profile Quad Flatpack (LQFP), 12.0 mm × 12.0 mm body size, 0.5-mm pitch. Pin assignments follow TI's standardized 2805x 80-pin PN footprint with dedicated analog power/ground separation (VDDA/VSSA, M1GND/M2GND/PFCGND) and JTAG-compliant boundary scan support.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDA / VSSA | Analog power/ground | Isolates ADC and comparator circuitry from digital noise; requires local 2.2-μF decoupling. |
| M1GND / M2GND / PFCGND | Analog amplifier grounds | Dedicated return paths for PGA/comparator channels A1/A3/B1, A6/B4/B6, and B7 respectively - prevents crosstalk in precision analog sensing. |
| ADCINA0–7 / ADCINB0–7 | ADC input channels | Two independent 8-channel groups (A/B) with op-amp inputs marked; supports differential or single-ended acquisition with ratio-metric reference (VREFHI/VREFLO). |
| GPIO0–42 | Configurable I/O | 42 multiplexed pins default to GPIO at reset; support ePWM, eCAP, eQEP, SCI/UART, SPI, I²C, and eCAN alternate functions with per-pin pullup control. |
| XRS | Reset I/O | Open-drain reset input/output; driven low internally during POR/BOR/watchdog timeout; requires external 2.2–10 kΩ pullup to VDDIO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-zone security module | Enables separate code/data protection for bootloader (Zone 1) and application (Zone 2); prevents firmware reverse-engineering via 128-bit encrypted key lock. |
| Integrated voltage regulator | On-chip 1.8-V VREG eliminates need for external core rail; enabled by tying VREGENZ to VSS - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Real-time debug interface | IEEE 1149.1 JTAG with TRST/TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins; supports hardware breakpoints, real-time trace, and analysis without halting CPU or CLA execution. |
| Enhanced analog integration | 6 comparators routed directly to ePWM trip-zones; 3 PGAs with discrete gain settings (≈3/6/11); 2 internal DACs for reference generation - replaces discrete op-amp/DAC circuits. |
| Single-supply operation | 3.3-V nominal supply powers CPU, I/O, Flash, and analog blocks; no power sequencing required - simplifies power tree design for cost-sensitive industrial drives. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and instruction cycle time of the TMS320F28051PNT?
The TMS320F28051PNT operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 60 MHz, delivering a 16.67-ns instruction cycle time. This timing is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and supports deterministic real-time loop execution for motor control applications requiring sub-microsecond interrupt latency and fast PWM update rates.
Does the TMS320F28051PNT include a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and how many are available?
Yes, the TMS320F28051PNT includes three programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs) with discrete gain settings of approximately 3, 6, or 11. These PGAs are part of the analog front end and are specifically assigned to ADC input channels - enabling direct amplification of low-level sensor signals before digitization without external op-amp circuitry.
What analog-to-digital converter (ADC) specifications does the TMS320F28051PNT provide?
The TMS320F28051PNT features a 12-bit ADC with 2-MSPS sampling rate and 500-ns conversion time. It supports 16 input channels split across two groups (A and B), includes dual sample-and-hold, ratio-metric reference operation (VREFHI/VREFLO), and integrates a temperature sensor for oscillator compensation - all accessible within the same device package.
How is security implemented on the TMS320F28051PNT and what protection does it offer?
The TMS320F28051PNT implements dual-zone security with 128-bit encryption key locking, protecting on-chip Flash, SARAM, OTP, and Secure ROM. This prevents unauthorized readout or firmware reverse-engineering and enforces secure boot by isolating bootloader code (Zone 1) from application code (Zone 2), ensuring integrity of critical control firmware.
What is the package type and pin count of the TMS320F28051PNT, and are there any special layout considerations?
The TMS320F28051PNT uses an 80-pin Low-Profile Quad Flatpack (LQFP) package measuring 12.0 mm × 12.0 mm with 0.5-mm pitch. Layout requires strict separation of analog/digital grounds (VSSA, VSS, M1GND, M2GND, PFCGND), local decoupling (2.2-μF on VDDA, 1.2-μF on each VDD), and avoidance of routing high-speed signals near analog inputs to maintain ADC accuracy and comparator stability.
