C6474 Multicore DSP from Texas Instruments |
Texas Instruments recently announced their newest high performance multicore DSP, which integrates three 1GHz cores on a single chip for DSP farm applications.
TI's TMS320C6474 provides greater performance density and savings on cost, power and board space while offering an easy migration path for designers of high performance systems. |
|
The C6474 Evaluation Module (EVM) includes two C6474 multicore DSPs connected via high speed SERDES interfaces: Serial RapidIO™ (sRIO), Gigabit Ethernet MAC (GEMAC), and Antenna Interface (AIF). This gives developers the opportunity to begin working on inter-processor communication mechanisms in a quick and efficient manner.
The C6474 EVM also comes with onboard emulation, as well as a board specific version of Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio). Customers will have full access to C6474 EVM design files and schematics (Orcad and Gerber), as well as a board support library to assist them in their design process.
Please note initial deliveries expected around February 2009. Contact KCL for a quotation to pre-order now. |

Motor Control Kits for TMS320F2833x |
Complete motor control development platform based on the latest floating-point digital signal controller, with advanced development tools; MATLAB-SimulinkTM models with motor control source code generation and execution on the DSP board (in the Technosoft DMCD-Pro development environment):
- TMS320F28335 floating-point DSC based
platforms for motor control
- Complete DMC development platforms for
industrial equipment
- Advanced graphical interface for real-time
data analysis
- Real-time test platform for your application
From basic starter kits to most sophisticated professional kits with complete source code application examples and function libraries, these kits offer a wide range of excellent tools for the design of DSP-based motor control applications.
The kits have a modular structure; you can easily upgrade from a simpler kit to a more powerful one, as your project’s complexity requires it, by adding new software / hardware modules. |

MotionChip™Starter Kit for IMCM |
MotionChip™ is an advanced Technosoft concept realized as a high-performance ready-to-run motion controller based on dedicated DSPs. With up to 6 independent PWM signals, this chip can control either a 3-phase power inverter for brushless motors, or an H bridge for DC motors. Operation modes include torque, speed and position control. Brushless motors can be controlled either in Hall sensors-based DC mode, or in vector control-based sinusoidal AC mode.
Starter kit for MotionChip™ – Technosoft's advanced technology concept realized as a high-performance ready-to-run motion controller.
- Evaluation package for testing the MotionChip™ II controller in motion control applications
- Suitable for brushless and DC motors, in single or distributed control multiple-axis structures
- Easy implementation in your design application with IMCM - a plug-in intelligent motion control module
- Graphical programming with EasyMotion Studio
- Several compatible power amplifier packages are available, that include IMCM, adaptor, and a choice of power inverters

MSP430™ Tutorial for Green Designs |
Softbaugh have announced new MSP430™ self-study materials to help firmware and electronics engineers implement green designs. Their latest book, "MSP430 State Machine Programming" ISBN 978-0-9754759-2-8, leverages ten years' experience with this microcontroller family from Texas Instruments.
Arranged as fifteen tuturial chapters, with solved exercises at the end of each chapter, this text is unique among MSP430 titles and is designed for self-study by project engineers or as a laboratory manual for a semester course. This book is written specifically for use with Softbaugh's ES2274 evaluation system, but the principles apply to any MSP430 design. |
