AM263P4

The AM263P4 is a high-performance microcontroller from Texas Instruments, part of the C2000™ real-time control MCU family, designed for advanced motor control and power conversion applications. It features a 150 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F core with floating-point unit (FPU), enabling efficient execution of complex control algorithms and signal processing tasks. The device integrates up to 1 MB of flash memory and 256 KB of RAM, supporting robust code storage and real-time data handling. Key peripherals include dual 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with simultaneous sampling capability, two high-resolution pulse-width modulation (HRPWM) modules for precise motor control, and a dedicated event capture unit (ECAP) for accurate position sensing. The AM263P4 also supports CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART communication interfaces, allowing seamless integration into industrial automation and motor drive systems. This microcontroller is optimized for real-time performance, offering deterministic response times and low-latency interrupt handling through its integrated control law accelerator (CLA). The CLA offloads mathematical computations from the main CPU, enhancing efficiency in field-oriented control (FOC) and other closed-loop control strategies. Additionally, the device includes hardware-based safety features such as watchdog timers, error-correcting code (ECC) memory protection, and redundant ADC channels to ensure system reliability. The AM263P4 operates over a wide supply voltage range of 3.3 V ±5%, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It supports various power modes—including active, idle, and sleep—to minimize energy consumption without compromising responsiveness. The device is available in a 100-pin QFN package, providing compact form factor and thermal efficiency for space-constrained designs. Applications include three-phase motor drives, servo systems, inverters, and renewable energy converters where precision, speed, and reliability are critical. Its rich set of peripherals and real-time capabilities make it ideal for industrial automation, robotics, and electric vehicle (EV) traction systems. The AM263P4 is supported by TI’s comprehensive development ecosystem, including Code Composer Studio (CCS), C2000Ware software libraries, and reference designs, accelerating time-to-market for engineers.
