Typical Applications
TMS320F280036C-Q1 is suitable for 6 applications: Motor Control, Digital Power Conversion, Electric Vehicle Traction Inverter, Solar Inverter, Industrial Drives, On-Board Charger.
Motor Control
The TMS320F280036C-Q1's 120 MHz C2000 core, combined with CLA and TMU, enables high-performance field-oriented control (FOC) of permanent-magnet motors. The CLA offloads current-loop computations, allowing the CPU to handle communication and diagnostics. It supports PWM outputs at high switching frequencies for SiC and GaN inverters, reducing switching losses. Recommended companions include AMC1306M25 for isolated current sensing and ISO6442 for digital isolation.
Recommended
Digital Power Conversion
In digital power supplies, the TMS320F280036C-Q1's fast ADC and high-resolution PWM (HRPWM) enable precise control of buck, boost, and LLC converters. The TMU accelerates trigonometric calculations for loop compensation, while the CLB provides configurable logic for custom PWM patterns. Its 256 KB flash supports complex firmware with PI controllers and state machines. This MCU is suited for automotive DC-DC converters and on-board chargers, where efficiency and reliability are critical.
Recommended
Electric Vehicle Traction Inverter
Traction inverters require ultra-low-latency control loops to manage torque and power delivery. The TMS320F280036C-Q1 addresses this with its C2000 CPU at 120 MHz and a dedicated CLA that runs current loops in parallel, leaving the main core for motor model and diagnostics. It supports high switching frequencies up to 30 kHz, enabling compact and efficient SiC-based inverters. AEC-Q100 qualification ensures automotive-grade reliability.
Recommended
Solar Inverter
For photovoltaic inverters, the TMS320F280036C-Q1 provides real-time MPPT control and grid synchronization. Its integrated ADC monitors solar panel voltage and current with high accuracy, while the PWM generators produce clean AC output. The available CAN-FD interface allows communication with the battery management system. The integrated AES encryption secures firmware updates, protecting against cyber threats. This MCU helps achieve high conversion efficiency and fast response to grid faults.
Recommended
Industrial Drives
Industrial servo drives rely on the TMS320F280036C-Q1 for precise position and speed control. Its dual-core architecture (CPU+CLA) allows simultaneous execution of both common control loops and host communication. The built-in CLB can implement hardware-based protection features like overcurrent detection. With a 120 MHz core and 256 KB flash, it accommodates firmware for multi-axis applications, reducing system cost and power consumption.
Recommended
On-Board Charger
On-board chargers (OBC) demand high-efficiency AC-DC conversion with real-time PFC control. The TMS320F280036C-Q1 features an FPU and TMU that accelerate PFC and LLC algorithms, minimizing computation time. Its CAN-FD interface enables seamless communication with the vehicle's battery management system. Automotive qualification and wide temperature operation ensure reliable performance under harsh conditions. Using a single MCU for both PFC and DC-DC stages simplifies the design.

Key Differentiators
- Hardware acceleration with CLA/CLB (vs TMS320F280036-Q1)
- Automotive qualification (vs TMS320F280034-Q1)
- 256KB flash (vs TMS320F280034-Q1)
Design Notes
The TMS320F280036C-Q1 dissipates approximately 0.5W to 1W at 120 MHz with peripherals active. Use a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and thermal vias under the exposed pad (if any) to maintain junction temperature below 125Β°C. Verify with thermal simulation.
Place 100nF high-frequency decoupling capacitors as close as possible to each VDD pin, and a 4.7uF bulk capacitor for the core supply. The ADC analog supply (AVDD) requires a separate ferrite bead and 100nF cap to minimize noise, ensuring accurate measurements.
Route the CAN-FD differential pair (CANH/CANL) as a twisted pair with 120-ohm impedance, keeping traces short and away from high-current switching nodes. Avoid crossing the crystal oscillator with power traces to prevent EMI.
