●The SM320LF2407A-EP is a member of the TMS320C24x generation of digital signal processor (DSP) controllers, and is part of the TMS320C2000 platform of fixed-point DSPs. The 240xA devices offer the enhanced TMS320 DSP architectural design of the C2xx core CPU for low-cost, low-power, and high-performance processing capabilities. Several advanced peripherals, optimized for digital motor and motion control applications, have been integrated to provide a true single-chip DSP controller. While code-compatible with the existing C24x. DSP controller devices, the 2407A offers increased processing performance (40 MIPS) and a higher level of peripheral integration. See the _TMS320x240xA Device Summary_ section for device-specific features.
●The 240xA generation offers an array of memory sizes and different peripherals tailored to meet the specific price/performance points required by various applications. Flash devices of up to 32K words offer a cost-effective reprogrammable solution for volume production. The 240xA devices offer a password-based "code security" feature which is useful in preventing unauthorized duplication of proprietary code stored in on-chip Flash/ROM. Note that Flash-based devices contain a 256-word boot ROM to facilitate in-circuit programming. The 240xA family also includes ROM devices that are fully pin-to-pin compatible with their Flash counterparts.
●All 240xA devices offer at least one event manager module which has been optimized for digital motor control and power conversion applications. Capabilities of this module include center- and/or edge-aligned PWM generation, programmable deadband to prevent shoot-through faults, and synchronized analog-to-digital conversion. Devices with dual event managers enable multiple motor and/or converter control with a single 240xA DSP controller. Select EV pins have been provided with an "input-qualifier" circuitry, which minimizes inadvertent pin-triggering by glitches.
●The high-performance, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has a minimum conversion time of 375 ns and offers up to 16 channels of analog input. The autosequencing capability of the ADC allows a maximum of 16 conversions to take place in a single conversion session without any CPU overhead.
●A serial communications interface (SCI) is integrated on all devices to provide asynchronous communication to other devices in the system. For systems requiring additional communication interfaces, the 2407A offers a 16-bit synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI). The 2407A offers a controller area network (CAN) communications module that meets 2.0B specifications. To maximize device flexibility, functional pins are also configurable as general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs).
●To streamline development time, JTAG-compliant scan-based emulation has been integrated into all devices. This provides non-intrusive real-time capabilities required to debug digital control systems. A complete suite of code-generation tools from C compilers to the industry-standard Code Composer Studio debugger supports this family. Numerous third-party developers not only offer device-level development tools, but also system-level design and development support.
