Kit Overview

The MCBTMS570MCBTMS570 Development Kit is an Cortex-R4 based board set you may use to generate and test application programs for the Texas Instruments TMS570x microcontroller family. With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development. The MCBTMS570MCBTMS570 Development Kit ships with the TMS570LS20216 device that is a superset of several other device variants of the TMS570x microcontroller series. The MCBTMS570 Board contains all the hardware components required in a single-chip TMS570x system.

The TMS570LS series is a high performance automotive grade microcontroller family which has been certified for use in IEC 61508 SIL3 safety systems. The safety architecture includes Dual CPUs in lockstep, CPU and Memory Built-In Self Test (BIST) logic, ECC on both the Flash and the data SRAM, parity on peripheral memories, and loop back capability on peripheral IOs.

The TMS570LS family integrates the ARM® Cortex™-R4F Floating Point CPU which offers an efficient 1.6DMIPS/MHz, and has configurations which can run up to 160 MHz providing more than 250 DMIPS. The TMS570LS series also provides different Flash (1MB or 2MB) and data SRAM (128KB or 160KB) options with single bit error correction and double bit error detection.

With integrated SIL3 certified safety features and a wide choice of communication and control peripherals, the TMS570LS series is an ideal solution for high performance real time control applications with safety critical requirements.

Key Applications: Transportation applications, like Braking systems (ABS and ESC), Electric power steering (EPS), HEV/EV inverter systems, Aerospace, Railway control, communications and signaling, Off-road vehicles etc.
