Operating at speeds of up to 600 MHz, the new TMS320C6414, TMS320C6415 and TMS320C6416 DSPs from Texas Instruments offer up to ten times the performance of other DSPs for broadband infrastructure and up to 15 times imaging applications. This high level of system performance comes with competitive power efficiency as well.
Employing many of the power-saving techniques created for the ultra-low-power TMS320C55xTM DSP, typical power consumption for the C64x DSPs is one-third that of the first-generation TMS320C6000 DSP devices. This power efficiency will enable OEMs to pack more channels in less space, saving costs in both manufacture and operation. This maximizes channel density in communications infrastructure equipment including 3G wireless base stations, Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) and other network concentration units.
The new chips will also feature optimized system-level integration for reduced system costs and faster time-to-market with the industry's most complete high-level language development environment. Full object code compatibility with other C6000 DSP devices allows for easy migration of existing designs.TMS320C6416 DSP: The most highly integrated of the new devices, the C6416 DSP, which includes coprocessors and Input/Output (I/O) interfaces specifically targeted at 3G wireless base stations. TMS320C6415 DSP: The C6415 DSP integrates the same I/O interfaces, without the accelerators, for use in other broadband and imaging systems. TMS320C6414 DSP: The C6414 DSP features general-purpose interfaces for systems that do not require dedicated network connectivity. |
