New Low-Power, Floating-Point Processors Now Available

Based on TI's new TMS320C674x floating-point DSP core, the new TMS320C6747 and C6745 DSPs and OMAP-L137 applications processor merge the inherent advantages of floating point with a combination of connectivity peripherals, low power and low cost that, until now, has only been available with fixed-point devices.

Low power and high precision with TMS320C674x DSPs

  • Industry’s lowest power floating-point DSPs
  • High precision and wide dynamic range enabled through the C674x CPU that natively supports 32-bit single-precision and 64-bit double-precision floating-point arithmetic
  • Portability for traditionally wired applications through low power and rich connectivity peripherals
  • Reduces system cost through high feature integration and low pricing starting at less than $11 @ 100u quantities
  • Up to 20x lower standby power and 1/3 the power consumption of existing floating-point devices
  • Pin-for-pin compatible with select OMAP-L1x and TMS320C640x processors

High performance at half the power with TMS320C640x DSPs

  • Power consumption ranging from 6mW in deep sleep mode to 415 mW total power in active mode enabling more than 8 hours battery life
  • Pin-for-pin compatible with select OMAP-L1x and TMS320C674x processors
  • Up to 2400 MMACs of DSP processing capability
  • Smaller, ergonomic products with 13x13mm packaging
  • More than 2x the performance with the same power as existing low power DSPs

High levels of integration and low power with OMAP-L1x applications processors

  • Networking simplified with advanced peripherals
  • Operating system flexibility with Linux or DSP/BIOS™ real-time kernel
  • Pin-for-pin compatible with select TMS320C674x and C640x DSPs
  • Power consumption ranging from 6 mW deep sleep mode power to 435 mW total power in active mode
  • Smaller, ergonomic products with 13x13mm packaging

Laptop-like performance at handheld power levels with OMAP35x applications processors

  • New integrated superscalar 600 MHz Cortex-A8 gives 4 times the performance compared to current 300MHz ARM9 devices
  • Variety of Cortex-A8 core combinations available:
    • Multimedia-rich peripherals
    • OpenGL® ES 2.0 compatible graphics engine
    • Video accelerators
    • TMS320C64x+™ DSP core

Maximum battery life with TMS320C550x DSPs

  • Industry’s lowest power fixed-point DSP
  • Large on-chip memory and optimized FFT co-processor for faster, cost- and energy-efficient performance
  • User friendly interface and more connectivity options with extensive peripheral support
  • One-half the power consumption of existing TMS320C55x™ DSPs

Ultra Low Power Microcontrollers

  • The MSP430 platform of ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal processors from TI provides the ultimate solution for battery-powered measurement applications.
  • New from MSP430! MSP430x5xx – Introducing the new Flash-based family featuring the lowest power consumption up to 25 MIPS with 1.8 to 3.6V operation starting at 12 MIPS. New features include an innovative Power Management Module for optimizing power consumption, an internally controlled voltage regulator, and 2x more memory than previous devices.
