New TI MCUs enable edge AI and industry-leading real-time control to advance system efficiency, safety and sustainability

Texas Instruments introduced two new series of real-time microcontrollers that deliver advancements to help engineers achieve more intelligent and secure processing in automotive and industrial applications. TI's TMS320F28P55x series of C2000™ MCUs is the industry's first portfolio of real-time microcontrollers with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU), enabling fault detections with high accuracy and low latency. The F29H85x series is built on TI's new 64-bit C29 digital signal processor core and offers an advanced architecture with integrated safety and security features.

The NPU in the TMS320F28P55x series offloads the execution of the neural network model from the main CPU, achieving five to 10 times lower latency than software implementations to enable faster, more accurate decision-making. Further, the model that runs on the integrated NPU learns and adapts to different environments through training, helping systems achieve greater than 99% fault detection accuracy to enable more informed decision-making at the edge. TI's complete AI toolchain, which includes models that are optimized and tested for specific applications, helps engineers with any level of experience easily complete the AI model development process (more info).
