Texas Instruments introduces automotive mixed-signal MCUS with CAN-FD interface

     The Texas Instruments MSPM0G350x MCU is part of the MSP family of highly integrated, ultra-low power 32-bit MCUS based on the enhanced Arm Cortex-M0+ 32-bit core platform, operating at frequencies up to 80MHz. These cost-optimized MCUS provide high-performance analog peripherals' integration, support an extended temperature range from -40°c to 125°c, and operate in a supply voltage range of 1.62V to 3.6V.

     The device offers up to 128KB of embedded flash program memory, built-in ECC and up to 32KB of SRAM, with hardware parity options. These MCUS also include a memory protection unit, seven-channel DMA, math accelerators, and a variety of high-performance analog peripherals, Such as two 12-bit 4Msps ADCs, configurable internal shared voltage reference, a 12-bit 1Msps DAC, three high-speed comparators with built-in reference Dacs, two zero-drift zero-cross operational amps with programmable gain, and a general-purpose amplifier.

     These devices also offer smart digital peripherals such as two 16-bit advanced control timers, five general purpose timers (one 16-bit general purpose timer for QEI interface, two 16-bit general purpose timers for standby mode, and one 32-bit general purpose timer), two window watchdog timers, and one RTC with alarm and calendar modes. These devices offer data integrity and encryption peripherals (AES, CRC, TRNG) and enhanced communication interfaces (four UART, two I2C, two SPI and CAN 2.0/FD).

     The MSPM0 series of low-power MCUS includes varying degrees of analog and digital integration, enabling customers to find the MCUS that meet their project needs. The MCU platform combines the Arm Cortex-M0+ platform with the overall ultra-low power system architecture, enabling system designers to improve performance while reducing power consumption.

     MCUS are supported by an extensive hardware and software ecosystem with reference designs and code examples to get started quickly. Development kits are available for purchase, including the LaunchPad development kit. TI also provides a free MSP SDK, which is available in TI Explorer as a component of the desktop and cloud versions of the Code Composer Studio IDE. These MCUS also receive extensive online materials, training from the MSP Academy, and online support from the TI E2E Support Forum.
