Floating-point devices enable top audio quality at consumer prices
( 01 Sep 2005 )
Texas Instruments’ three new floating-point DSPs are based on the TMS320C67x DSP generation. The C67x DSP generation-based core is a Cefficient, VLIW architecture that offers significant application performance improvements. The TMS320C6722, TMS320-C6726 and TMS320C6727 DSPs enable audio engineers to incorporate top DSP processing power into a broad spectrum of audio applications, including broadcast, conferencing, musical instruments and professional audio, providing greater than 20% increase in performance. For example, MP3 decoding now requires only 16MHz on a C672x DSP, down from 20MHz for the C6713 DSP, and 10-band equalizer decoding requires only 6MHz on a C672x DSP, down from 17MHz for the C6713 DSP. The C672x devices range in clock speed from 200 to 300MHz with up to 256KBytes of SRAM and 32KBytes of instruction cache.
