TMS320TMS320CC64x:64x: The C64x fixed-point DSPs offer the industry's highest level of
performance to address the demands of the digital age. At clock rates of up to 1 GHz,
C64x DSPs can process information at rates up to 8000 MIPS with costs as low as
$19.95. In addition to a high clock rate, C64x DSPs can do more work each cycle with
built-in extensions. These extensions include new instructions to accelerate
performance in key application areas such as digital communications infrastructure
and video and image processing.
TMS320CTMS320C6262x:x: These first-generation fixed-point DSPs represent breakthrough
technology that enables new equipments and energizes existing implementations for
multi-channel, multi-function applications, such as wireless base stations, remote
access servers (RAS), digital subscriber loop (xDSL) systems, personalized home
security systems, advanced imaging/biometrics, industrial scanners, precision
instrumentation and multi-channel telephony systems.
TMS320CTMS320C6767x:x: For designers of high-precision applications, C67x floating-point
DSPs offer the speed, precision, power savings and dynamic range to meet a wide
variety of design needs. These dynamic DSPs are the ideal solution for demanding
applications like audio, medical imaging, instrumentation and automotive.
