Delfino Floating-Point Microcontroller

Texas Instruments Inc.'sfloating-point microcontroller (MCU) is for extreme temperature operation from 55to 210C. The SM320F28335-HT Delfino32-bit MCU provides real-time measurement and control for manufacturers ofelectronics operating in harsh and hot environments, such as downhole drilling,commercial jet engines, motor control, military applications and medicalinstruments and surgical tools requiring sterilization.

The SM320F28335-HT Delfino MCU is basedon TI's TMS320C2000 MCU platform, which combines control peripheral integrationand embedded flash memory with the processing power of a 32-bit floating-pointarchitecture. Enabling operation at up to 210C eliminates the need forexpensive up-screening and qualification tests of industrial grade MCUs,allowing for faster design of applications operating in harsh environments andcutting development time by up to one year. Packaging options, such as ceramicand Known Good Die (KGD), provide small form factors for space-constrainedapplications. The device is available today in a hermetic ceramic pin gridarray package. Pricing is $406.25 in 100-unit quantities.
