HOUSTON, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Simplifying digital power
design for all power and embedded systems engineers, Texas
Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced the
expansion of its TMS320C2000™ microcontroller (MCU) digital power
portfolio of software, tools and training. The new offering allows
developers to jumpstart digital power design based on TI's C2000
Piccolo MCUs, which provide flexibility to adapt to varying power
supply models, integration to reduce component count and
programmability to ensure efficiency across the full power load
range. More than 25 free, modular digital power software blocks
have been added to controlSUITE software, dramatically reducing
programming challenges. Additionally, TI's new High Voltage PFC
Developer's Kit includes all of the hardware and software needed to
quickly implement digital power factor correction (PFC) in end
products for regulation compliance. Also available is a new
in-depth training designed to give developers with all experience
levels a solid foundation of digital power theory and extensive
hands-on labs. With TI's new offering, developers can more easily
harness the efficiency and reliability benefits of digital power in
applications such as servers, telecom rectifiers, lighting,
renewable energy, and hybrid and electric vehicles. For more
