TMS320 Family Overview

The TMS320 family consists of fixed- and floating-point multiprocessor digital signal processors (DSPs), and fixed-point DSP controllers. TMS320 DSPs have an architecture designed specifically for real-time signal processing. The 24x series of DSP controllers combines this realtime processing capability with controller peripherals to create an ideal solution for control system applications. Today, the TMS320 family consists of these generations: C1x, C2x, C20x, C24x, C5x,C54x, and C6x fixedpoint DSPs; C3x and C4x floating-point DSPs; and C8x multiprocessor DSPs. The following characteristics make the TMS320 family the right choice for a wide range of processing applications:

TMS320C24x Series of DSP Controllers

The F243/F241/C242 devices are considered part of the 24x generation of fixed-point DSPs, and members of the C2000 platform. Devices within a generation of a TMS320 platform have the same CPU structure but different on-chip memory and peripheral configurations. At 20 Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS), the 24x DSP controllers offer significant performance over traditional 16-bit microcontrollers and microprocessors. Designers have recognized the opportunity to redesign existing digital motor control (DMC) systems to use advanced algorithms that yield better performance and reduce system component count.

What The 24x Series Enable?

24x DSPs Enable:

Design of robust controllers for a new generation of inexpensive motors, such as AC induction, DC permanent magnet, and switchedreluctance motors.
Full variable-speed control of brushless motor types that have lower manufacturing cost and higher reliability. Energy savings through variable-speed control, saving up to 25% of the energy used by fixed-speed controllers. Elimination or reduction of memory lookup tables through real-time polynomial calculation, thereby reducing system cost. Use of advanced algorithms that can reduce the number of sensors required in a system. Control of power switching inverters, along with control algorithm processing.

Single-processor control of multimotor systems.

Some Key Features of the F243 DSK

TMS320F243 Digital Signal Processor. RS-232 Communications interface to host PC for debug and communications. 32K words on board program/data RAM. 8K words on chip Flash memory. On board 10 MHz crystal. 3 Expansion Connectors (analog, I/O, expansion).

How To Use The F243 DSK?

Connect the device to the communication cable and the communication cable to the host PC. Install the communication software (GO DSP EXPLORER) in the host PC. Write your application program, debug, assemble, compile, and link it. Connect your peripherals hardware to the DSP and finally send the program to the device to run.
