About This Manual
This user’s guide serves as an applications reference book for the TMS320C3x
generation of digital signal processors (DSPs). These include the TMS320C30,
TMS320C31, TMS320LC31, and TMS320C32. Throughout the book, all refer-
ences to ’C3x refer collectively to the ’C30, ’C31, ’LC31 and ’C32.
This book provides information to assist managers and hardware/software
engineers in application development. It includes example code and hard-
ware connections for various applications.
The guide shows how to use the instructions set, the architecture, and the ’C3x
interface. It presents examples for frequently used applications and discusses
more involved examples and applications. It also defines the principles involved
in many applications and gives the corresponding assembly language code for
instructional purposes and for immediate use. Whenever the detailed explanation
of the underlying theory is too extensive to be included in this manual, appropriate
references are given for further information.
