In seeking to deliver high performing digital signal processors (DSPs)-based solutions to customers, Texas Instruments (TI) has released three new DSPs with performancesof 720 MHz, exceeding its own current record of 600 MHz.
Based on TI´s digital signal processing technology, the new DSPs are designed to boost multi-channel density, enhance multi-function flexibility, and increase bandwidth for higher frame rates and better resolution. The devices allow digital video imaging and wireless/telecom infrastructure customers to fully capitalize on the industry’s highest performance, enabling them to bring next-generation innovations to market quickly.
The DSPs include 1 Mbyte of on-chip high-speed memory and high-speed peripherals that accelerate applications and processing of real-time data.
The 720 MHz C6414 DSP´s 64-channel enhanced direct memory access (EDMA) controller delivers input/output efficiency that manages data transfer from system memory at gigabytes per second. In addition, three multi-channel buffered serial ports (McBSPs) each support 128 time-division multiplex (TDM) channels as well as AC97 and IIS audio interfaces.
The 720 MHz TMS320C6416, TMS320C6415 and TMS320C6414 DSPs are based on the TMS320C64 DSP core and produced on TI´s 130-nanometer copper process technology.
