What is the difference between the TMS320F28xx and the TMS320C28xx MCUs?
The “F” represents flash, while the “C” represents ROM. The Flash devices are reprogrammable and are available through normal distribution channels to mass market customers. The TMS320C2812 is a custom ROM device and typically will only be released in TMS version, and will not be released in TMX or TMP versions. For ROM devices the customer provides their source code and TI actually factory program the source code in the ROM memory. When the code has been finalized, the code can be submitted to Texas Instruments for masking into the on-chip program ROM.
