The AM13E230x series of microcontrollers (MCUs) are cost-optimized 32-bit devices built for complex real-time control applications such as motor control. AM13E230x MCUs include a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 core operating at up to 200MHz with a proprietary math accelerator for trigonometric operations (TMU) through a Custom Datapath Extension (CDE) and a TinyEngineTM Neural-network Processing Unit (NPU) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine to enable simultaneous motor control and AI model execution. Its rich analog integration offers industry-leading speed, precision, and reduced system cost. The digital peripherals offered on AM13E230x MCUs are specifically designed for motor control applications, and include tailored communications interfaces for appliance and industrial motor drive end equipment.
The AM13E230x MCUs provide up to 512KB of embedded flash program memory (2 banks of 256KB) with built-in error correction code (ECC) and up to 128KB SRAM (4 banks of 32KB) with hardware parity.
AM13E230x MCUs are enabled with robust, high-performance analog peripherals. Three 12-bit ADCs, four high-speed comparators (CMPSS_LITE) with built-in 10-bit reference DACs, and three PGAs (programmable gain amplifiers) provide real-time signal-chain performance. These MCUs also offer intelligent digital peripherals such as two advanced control timers, TIMG4 (16-bit) and TIMG12 (32-bit), one Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT), and a 12-channel Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller.
Complex real-time control applications are enabled with the MCUs' five MCPWM modules with 6 channels per module, two Enhanced Capture (ECAP) modules, and three Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (EQEP) modules. The integrated crossbar (XBAR) infrastructure enables flexible configuration and routing of external signals to internal ports and internal signals to external pins.
Data integrity and encryption features (AES, secure boot) provide security across the AM13E230x domains. The Keystore module provides secure management of the AES keys. A Cyclic Redundancy Checker (CRC) module provides internal diagnostics to the AM13E230x MCU.
Enhanced communication interfaces are supported through the single MCAN (CAN-FD) interface and two advanced SPG (Serial Peripheral Group) blocks. Each SPG block offers three UNICOMM (Unified Communications Module) blocks, for a total of 6 UNICOMM modules. Within an SPG block, two of the UNICOMM modules can be configured as UART, I2C, or SPI, and one module can be configured as UART/LIN or I2C/SMBUS. The high-speed External Peripheral Interface (EPI) connects AM13E230x to SDRAM or asynchronous RAM devices, and supports FPGA connectivity.
The AM13E230x series of microcontrollers (MCUs) offers a range of options in various memory, peripheral, and package configurations, enabling customers to find the most fitting solution that meets their specific project needs. The AM13E230x MCU platform combines the Arm® Cortex®-M33 platform with a holistic low-power system architecture, allowing system designers to increase performance while reducing energy consumption.
