TMS320 DSP Family Overview
Introduction 1-2 SPRU733
1.1 TMS320 DSP Family Overview
The TMS320™ DSP family consists of fixed-point, floating-point, and multipro-
cessor digital signal processors (DSPs). TMS320™ DSPs have an architec-
ture designed specifically for real-time signal processing.
Table 1−1 lists some typical applications for the TMS320™ family of DSPs. The
TMS320™ DSPs offer adaptable approaches to traditional signal-processing
problems. They also support complex applications that often require multiple
operations to be performed simultaneously.
1.2 TMS320C6000 DSP Family Overview
With a performance of up to 6000 million instructions per second (MIPS) and
an efficient C compiler, the TMS320C6000 DSPs give system architects
unlimited possibilities to differentiate their products. High performance, ease
of use, and affordable pricing make the C6000 generation the ideal solution
for multichannel, multifunction applications, such as:
- Pooled modems
- Wireless local loop base stations
- Remote access servers (RAS)
- Digital subscriber loop (DSL) systems
- Cable modems
- Multichannel telephony systems
The C6000 generation is also an ideal solution for exciting new applications;
for example:
- Personalized home security with face and hand/fingerprint recognition
- Advanced cruise control with global positioning systems (GPS) navigation
and accident avoidance
- Remote medical diagnostics
- Beam-forming base stations
- Virtual reality 3-D graphics
- Speech recognition
- Audio
- Radar
- Atmospheric modeling
- Finite element analysis
- Imaging (examples: fingerprint recognition, ultrasound, and MRI)
