In summary, the Concerto series is the most recent series in the C2000 portfolio which adds an ARM Cortex™-M3 core to the C28x core for real-time control applications needing connectivity. The C28x core offers high-performance digital signal processing capabilities to deliver the high performance that is fundamental to the execution of real time control algorithms. In the Concerto MCUs, a Cortex™-M3 core provides the base for a host communication subsystem with connectivity peripherals such as Ethernet, USB On The Go, dual CAN, and multiple serial communication ports. In applications such as industrial drives, hybrid electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar inverters added microcontroller safety features are required. The safety features of Concerto™ MCUs are categorized in three main groups, error detection and correction, redundancy of functions, and security. These multiple safety features help customers protect against faults and failures as well as protect IP. In the same manner that the Concerto™ hardware is optimized in two subsystems, the software and programming environment has also been partitioned into control and host sides. Programming the Concerto™ is like programming two separate chips with a single IDE, allowing the programmer to easily switch between coding the control side or the host communication side. The available Concerto™ Experimenter Kit is a modular controlCARD kit, in the same concept as other C2000 devices enabling controlSUITE customers to take advantage of the device support and features as well as the system application knowledge that TI has built over the last fifteen years.
