➔
DSP usage has become very diversified—from
communications infrastructure
to handheld, portable appliances.
TI has worked with its customers
and third parties to deliver DSP
core architectures that are well established
and optimized for diverging
combinations of power-performance
needs.

TI offers the most extensive selection of DSPs, with the highest performance, most
power-efficient and control-optimized DSPs with roadmaps going beyond any competitive
solution. Code compatibility within each platform ensures that your software investment
will not be discarded when you select the next TI DSP for your design. The
TMS320 DSP family is comprised of three distinct architectures:
MCU-Like Control, DSP Performance
The TMS320C2000 digital signal controller platform combines the control peripheral
integration and ease of use of a microcontroller (MCU) and the processing power and C
efficiency of TI’s leading DSP technology.
• TMS320C28x Digital Signal Controller Generation – includes industry’s first
32-bit DSP-based controllers with on-board Flash memory and performance up to
150 MIPS. Pin-compatible ROM versions also available.
• TMS320C24x Digital Signal Controller Generation – offers 20 to 40 MIPS of
performance with highly integrated Flash memory, control and communication peripherals.
Get started at sub U.S. $2.00 (in quantities). Pin-compatible ROM versions also
available.
Power Efficient Performance: TMS320C5000 DSP Platform
The C5000 DSP platform is optimized for the consumer digital market and its convergence
with communication electronics.
• TMS320C55x DSPs – are the industry’s most power-efficient DSPs and feature
ultra-low stand-by power. Also included are the OMAP devices with low-power, realtime
signal processing coupled with the command and control functionality of an ARM ® .
• TMS320C54x DSPs – provide a broad range of performance and peripheral options
for digital cellular and personal communications systems, PDAs, digital cordless and
wireless data communications, voice-over-packet, portable Internet audio and modems.
Highest Performance: TMS320C6000 DSP Platform
C6000 DSP Platform offers the industry’s highest performance fixed- and floating-point
DSPs ideal for video, imaging, broadband infrastructure and performance audio
applications.
• TMS320DM64x/DaVinci digital media processors – are optimized for video
applications. The TMS320DM643x and TMS320DM644x DaVinci-based processors
include a range of high-performance and low-cost options.
• TMS320C64x and TMS320C62x fixed-point DSPs – offer a wide range of performance
and peripheral options with speeds up to 1 GHz.
• TMS320C67x floating-point DSPs – offer precision, speed, power savings and
dynamic range with performance ranging from 600–1800 MFLOPS.
