Applications Matrix Guideline

Low-Power MCUs

MSP Ultra-Low-Power MCUs offer the lowest power consumption and the perfect mix of inte-grated peripherals for a wide range of low-power and portable applications.

MSP Low Power + Performance MCUs provide designers with increased processing capability, smart analog, advanced security, and display and communication peripherals while using less watts than ever before for the devel-opment of “always-on” embedded applications.

SimpleLink™ Ultra-Low Power Wireless MCU platform sets a new benchmark for power consumption. Bluetooth® Smart, Sub-1GHz, ZigBee®, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee RF4CE™ stan-dards are each supported with software stacks, easy-to-use tools and enabling always-on coin-cell-powered operation for multiple years or battery-less operation with energy harvesting.

SimpleLink Wi-Fi® Family allows applications to be programmed on the industry’s first Internet-on-a-chip™ solution with a user-dedicated MCU. The low-power Wi-Fi platform enables designs to operate for more than a year on two AA batteries. No Wi-Fi experience needed to begin designing with this easy-to-use family.

Performance MCUs

C2000™ Real-Time Control 32-bit MCUs are based on the industry-leading C28x CPU. This CPU features a power signal processing engine capable of addressing demanding closed-loop tasks thereby giving designers the means to improve system efficiency, reliability and flexibility.

TM4C12x MCUs are based on the popular ARM® Cortex®-M4F core with scalable memory and package options, unparalleled connectivity peripherals (Ethernet MAC and PHY), hardware encryption accelerator, advanced applications

functions, industry-leading analog integration and extensive software solutions.

Hercules™ MCUs are based on the high- performance ARM Cortex-R CPU and offer inte-grated diagnostic features in hardware to help make development of industrial IEC 61508 and automotive ISO 26262 functional safety applica-tions easier. The Hercules MCU platform offers pin-to-pin- and software-compatible devices ranging in performance from 80 MHz up to 330 MHz and memory options from 128 KB up to 4 MB of on-chip Flash. Complementary SafeTI Design Packages provide documentation, tools and software to assist in development of functional safety applications.

Sitara™ Processors

TI’s Sitara processors are optimized, scalable solutions with a broad portfolio of ARM Cortex-A8, Cortex-A9, ARM9™ and Cortex-A15 solutions.

Bringing together flexible hardware solutions with robust software tools enables customers using Sitara processors to create inspiring ARM designs that start to bridge the gap between high-end MCUs and mid-range ARM processor-based devices.

Ultra-Low-Power TMS320C5000™ DSP Platform

The C5000™ DSP platform provides a broad portfolio of the industry’s lowest-power 16-bit DSPs. Total active core power at less than 0.15mW/MHz at 1.05V and standby power at less than 0.15mW extends the battery life of portable applications. Increase processing capa-bility with C5000 DSP processors that offer up to 300 MHz (600 MIPS). High peripheral integration

and large on-chip memory help reduce overall system cost.

High Performance: KeyStone™ and TMS320C6000™ DSP Platforms

TI’s KeyStone II platform brings high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 and C66x fixed-/floating-point DSP technology together providing unmatched embedded processing system performance. With general Linux® support as well as real-time operating system support such as VxWorks®, the KeyStone II platforms are ideally suited for indus-trial, mission critical and other high-performance real-time systems. These devices also offer best-in-class GFLOPS/W performance and high-speed I/O making them also well suited for server-class scientific and computationally intensive computing.

KeyStone I devices and C6000™ DSP devices include multicore C66x DSPs, C674x fixed-/ floating-point DSPs, and OMAP-L. The OMAP-L series combines the fixed-/floating-point C674x DSP with an ARM9 processor for low-power, embedded processing complete solutions.

Software and Development Tools

TI’s embedded solutions come with software and tools to make development easier and speed time to market. This includes support for open-source software including Linux and Energia as well as TI software stacks, application examples and the new Processor SDK unified software platform for the Sitara portfolio. TI’s embedded tools range from EVMs and reference designs to LaunchPads, BoosterPacks, BeagleBoards and SensorTags to help developers bring their ideas to life.

SimpleLink™ SolutionsLow-Power Wireless Connectivity

Get samples, data sheets, tools and application reports at: www.ti.com/simplelink

When the SimpleLink ultra-low power wireless MCU platform was introduced, TI set a new industry power consumption benchmark for Bluetooth® Smart, Sub-1GHz, ZigBee®, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee RF4CE™ wireless MCUs. The SimpleLink Wi-Fi® Internet-on-a-chip™ platform also delivers a low-power wireless MCU for battery-operated products and systems.

Additionally, TI offers SimpleLink wire-less network processors and smart RF transceivers as well as combo con-nectivity solutions through the WiLink™ platform, allowing custom-ers to add low-power connectivity for a variety of applications.

Driving the Lowest-Power Solution

The IoT is pushing the boundaries of power consumption requirements for product and system designs. Energy harvesting, always-on coin cell or AA battery-operated sensor products can now operate optimally for several years and offer efficient processing.

Overall power consumption and battery life are very important in many applications. TI wireless connectivity solutions are created and optimized with battery life in mind, making sure that solution performance can be achieved.

Average power consumption is key:

Functions can execute so the system can go back to sleep – using more processing

power can give a better system performance: TI has the lowest power wireless MCU

with 61 μA/ MHz.

Low power in sleep and hibernate modes and low Tx and Rx power consumption.

Sensor data can be detected in lowest power modes: TI has a unique sensor

controller allowing the MCU to sleep while collecting sensor information while the

main CPU can be continuously turned off.

Including built in DC–DC for system power efficiency.

Power efficiency of system – low-power modes and key use cases – Learn more about EEMBC ULPBench™.

Our wireless connectivity portfolio is IoT-ready and enables easy-to-implement and robust wireless systems with unprecedented battery life through development of the lowest power wireless solutions in the industry.
