“We have used TI’s IQmath with fixed-point C2000 MCUs in our real-time motor control applications for more than five years, and it has greatly simplified, sped and optimized our development,” said Dr. Dal Ohm, president, Drivetech, Inc. “The correct range and precision enabled by IQmath is critical in creating stable control systems for the complex power electronics that I design, and the software has also made it very easy to scale to the floating-point C2000 devices.”
IQmath Library features and benefits:
* Simplified porting from floating-point simulations/algorithms to a fixed-point MCU
* Math library for fixed-point processors speeds computation of floating-point values
* 45+ functions organized in easy-to-access categories, including format conversion utilities, arithmetic functions, trigonometric functions and mathematical functions
* Adjustable resolution and dynamic range allows optimization based on application requirements
* Seamless code portability for scaling between fixed- and floating-point MCUs
* Conversions from floating to fixed point are completed at the compile stage, so CPU cycles are not used
