The C2000 has been designed for real-time control applications since its inception. The portfolio has evolved over the years to merge the performance benefits of its high-performance signal processing core with the integration, low cost and ease-of-use traditionally associated with microcontrollers. The C2000 currently has two series: Piccolo, for the most cost-sensitive application spaces; and Delfino, which meets the need of customers that require a high-performance floating point. However, there is a growing group of developers that need something to fill the gap between the two, developers of real-time control applications that need that tailored 80 MHz mid-range performance, but also require low cost, floating-point ease of use, more connectivity options and more memory. This is especially important for applications like renewable energy, where developers are looking to add the intelligence of networking to wind farms; or hybrid electric vehicles and charging stations. This presentation will cover the more than fifteen low-cost Piccolo MCUs that also bring a brand new math engine and peripheral enhancements.
