C2000
 Originally released as a DSP, the C2000 was recently re-classified as a microcontroller (MCU). This was largely due to it's core functionalities, processing rate and applications.

However, there are several features on the C2000 MCU that optimizes it for it's tag line, "real-time controls".
  • A separate math calculation engine that is able to do fixed and floating point calculations
  • High resolution PWM generators 
  • The ability to program trip zones, detections using the architecture's built in interrupt vectors

Within C2000 there are three families. These families were created with certain features to be enhanced. It's important to note that although these families may be referenced differently, they share the same software and support compatibility.
  • Piccolo: Optimized for Value. This is the primary family promoted in education for it's features to cost ratio. This family also includes the widest selection of tools.
  • Delfino: Optimized for performance. This is the family that will be featured in the application specific kits. Many times this family is released first with a Piccolo version following.
  • Concerto: Heterogeneous single chip microcontroller with C2000 + ARM Cortex M3.
C2000 in Education
 Because of C2000's legacy as a DSP, there are many courses that have implemented this hardware and material in teaching "DSP" concepts. The C2000 can fill two roles, DSP lab and controls lab. Courses such as signals and systems and real-time DSP can be easily taught using the advantages of the C2000 DSP core with floating point options. Concept materials such as real-time digital filtering (IIR, FIR, etc) using both audio algorithms and digital signal control are available on our C2000 Teaching ROM.   

In addition, the C2000 has begun to take root in courses that require the general purpose flexibility found in microcontrollers, the specialization of analog peripherals, the robust-industrial communication interfaces and the algorithm computing power.
