 Code Security Module

 Prevents reverse engineering and

protects valuable intellectual property

CSM Protected:
L0, L1, L2, L3,
FLASH, ADC CAL,
OTP

 128-bit user defined password is stored in Flash

 128-bits = 2128 = 3.4 x 1038 possible passwords
 To try 1 password every 2 cycles at 150 MHz, it
would take at least 1.4 x 1023 years to try all
possible combinations!

OBJMODE AMODE

C28x Native Mode 1 0 -v28

C24x Compatible Mode 1 1 -v28 –m20
Test Mode (default) 0 0
Reserved 0 1

 Almost all uses will run in C28x Native Mode

 The bootloader will automatically select C28x Native Mode after reset
 C24x compatible mode is mostly for backwards compatibility with an
older processor family
