ADSP-CM40x integrates the industryâs highest
precision A/D converter and fastest ARM Cortex-M4 to meet the
stringent performance demands of next-generation industrial control
and electrical grid equipment
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in
high-performance signal processing technology, launched today a
mixed-signal control processor that integrates the industryâs
only embedded dual 16-bit A/D converter with up to 14 bits of
accuracy together with a 240-MHz floating-point ARM® Cortexâ¢-M4
processor core. Equipment manufacturers require highly accurate,
closed-loop control in servo, motor-drive, solar photo-voltaic (PV)
inverter and other embedded industrial applications to improve the
energy efficiency and performance of their products. The higher
precision analog conversion of the ADSP-CM40x achieves these goals.

Forty percent of the worldâs electric power is consumed by
electric motors, and demand for higher levels of factory automation
is driving the need for greater industrial-motor power efficiency
and performance.
âDevelopers of industrial drives are demanding lower power
consumption, less torque ripple and more precise speed control.
This together with higher precision analog conversion within the
closed-loop control scheme is the key enabling technology,â said
Hong Wu, general manager, Googol Technology, a leading maker of
motor drives and motion controls for Asian markets. âThe
ADSP-CM40x is the best processor for offering the level of
mixed-signal performance required in future industrial motor
drives.â
In addition, solar PV has become the largest source of new
generation capacity added to the global electricity grid - with a
cumulative installation base of 100 GW - and is set to become the
fastest growing source of renewable energy generation over the next
decade. Increased measurement accuracy, supported by the
ADSP-CM40xâs integrated high precision converters, is driven by
ever more stringent grid compliance requirements. This coupled with
faster power control loops, fueled by the emergence of GaN (gallium
nitride) and SiC (silicon carbide) power switching technologies,
are combining to enable significant performance and cost
improvements in the next generation of solar PV inverter
topologies, all enabled with the ADSP-CM40x through its powerful
240-MHz floating point processing capabilities and best-in-class
analog conversion speed.
The ADSP-CM40x series is the first of a new generation of
mixed-signal control processors being developed by Analog Devices
for precision control applications. In addition to its analog
conversion performance and 380-ns conversion speeds, the ADSP-CM40x
provides a number of other features such as a full sinc filter
implementation to interface directly to isolated sigma-delta
modulators (AD7400A/AD7401A) which are used in shunt-based current
sensing system architectures. The availability of an on-chip sinc
filter eliminates the cost and engineering resources required to
implement that function in an FPGA. The ADSP-CM40x 1Ku per year
volume pricing starts at $8.14.
The breakthrough ADSP-CM40x mixed-signal processor combined with
ADIâs existing portfolio of iCoupler® isolated products (gate
drivers, sigma-delta converters, digital isolators and
transceivers), simultaneous sampling A/D converters,
resolver-to-digital converters and power-factor-correction
controllers, reinforces ADIâs position as a leading provider of
solutions across the entire motor control signal-chain.
Model-Based Design Minimizes Time-to-Market by Optimizing
Production Code
Through the use of MathWorksâ ARM® Cortexâ¢-M optimized
Embedded Coder® and tool suites, Analog Devices is further
enhancing system development value by bringing designs from
simulation to productized code implementation in an embedded
platform.
âThrough optimized code generation, device drivers and
compiler suites, Analog Devicesâ new ADSP-CM40x series enable
engineers to plug their designs directly into an environment for
model-based design using MATLAB® and Simulink® software,
streamlining the workflow from system modeling to controller
deployment to verification and certification,â said Tom Erkkinen,
products manager, MathWorks. âThis structure defines a complete
model-based development platform, allowing engineers to focus on
faster development of more efficient systems.â
