Replace expensive resolver-to-digital conversion solutions with TI’s new C2000™ Microcontroller (MCU) Resolver Kit

April 10, 2014

Houston (April 10, 2014) – Today Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) announces its first programmable microcontroller (MCU) solution to handle resolver-to-digital decoding: The C2000™ MCU Resolver Kit. Because the resolver is an analog, rotary electrical transformer, it has historically required an application-specific circuit — which can be costly and space consuming – to convert to digital signals for use by a digital processor in a control system. However, TI’s new C2000 MCU Resolver Kit shows designers how to implement the digital conversion using software on programmable Read More → "Replace expensive resolver-to-digital conversion solutions with TI’s new C2000™ Microcontroller (MCU) Resolver Kit"
