Various options in TI C2000 MCUs
If you’re using the C2000 family from Texas Instruments and want compatible microcontrollers (MCUs) either for migration, scaling, or as companion choices, here are some good options and how to think about them.
✅ Recommended Compatible MCU Series
All of these are in the TI ecosystem (so you’ll benefit from common tools, SDKs, and peripherals) and work well for real-time, high-performance control applications (power conversion, motor drives, etc).
- TMS320F280025 – A C2000 “Piccolo” series MCU targeted at real-time control (100 MHz, FPU, good for power electronics).
- TMS320F280049C – Another step up in the C2000 portfolio, higher integration and more peripherals.
- TMS320F28377D – C2000 “Delfino” series, high performance (multi-core, floating point, well suited for advanced power conversion).
- TMS320F28P650D – C2000 P-series (higher performance, newer generation) for next-generation designs.
What to Consider for “Compatibility”
When switching between or choosing a compatible MCU in the C2000 family, check:
- Peripheral compatibility: PWM-modules, high-resolution timers, ADC speed, comparators.
- Toolchain and SDKs: TI’s “C2000Ware” supports many devices.
- Pin-out / package: Some MCUs share packages allowing easier board reuse.
- Software reuse: If you reuse code (motor control, power conversion libraries), staying in the same family helps.
- Performance headroom: For future upgrades you might select a higher performance device now.
⚠️ When you might choose a different manufacturer or family
If your application’s requirements change (for example, you need much higher integration, connectivity, or cost reduction), you might also look beyond TI, but keep in mind the tool and software ecosystem.
