What the Industry Analysts Say About TI's TMS320C24x Controller

"DSPs for digital motor control systems are poised for enormous growth, and once again DSP market leader TI is opening new doors. I'm particularly impressed with the integrated event manager that incorporates all of the features required for advanced waveform generation and I/O handling for optimal motor control. By combining the processing power of a DSP core with the peripheral set optimized for motor control, TI blazes a new trail for 16-bit DSP controller architectures."

"To a large extent embedded control processors are controlling a motor, whether it is a disk drive, a camcorder, an air conditioner, or a factory. DSPs can allow the use of lower cost motors while providing better control of the motor's speed, rotation and power consumption. It's good to see a leader like Texas Instruments bring out DSPs like the 'C24x that specifically address this underlying application."

"The TMS320C240 redefines the programmable DSP territory by enabling designers to choose alternative motor control solutions using inexpensive brushless and AC motors. The 'C240 will reduce system/product cost, noise, vibration, and weight and will enhance product reliability. Industrial control as well as appliances are increasingly going digital. The 'C240 will take this progression to another level. Packed with features, the 'C240 has the power to greatly benefit adaptive control, which allows for aging and varying environmental conditions."
