2 Practical Ways to Measure CPU Load in Digital Power Control (TI C2000)

🧭 How do you actually measure CPU Load on a real digital power converter? In this video, I'll demonstrate two practical methods for measuring CPU Load on a TI C2000 microcontroller using a digitally controlled synchronous buck converter. We'll compare a simple GPIO toggle technique with a CPU timer-based software measurement, discuss the advantages and limitations of each approach, and verify both methods on real hardware. 🧑‍🎓 What you’ll learn in this video: ✔ Two practical methods for measuring CPU Load ✔ GPIO toggle measurement using an oscilloscope ✔ CPU timer-based software measurement ✔ Advantages and limitations of both techniques ✔ How to calculate interrupt execution time ✔ Practical implementation on a TI C2000 buck converter ⚡ Topics covered: • Digital power control • CPU Load • GPIO toggle method • CPU timer measurement • Interrupt execution time • TI C2000 microcontrollers • Buck converter • Real-time embedded systems 🌐 Free resources: ✅ LTspice models ✅ Octave scripts ✅ Additional learning materials 👉 Get everything for free: https://hk-academy.com/resources 🎓 Continue learning If you'd like to build a deeper understanding of digital power control, explore the practical courses available on HK-Academy.
