TMS320C6455 DSP Enables High–Performance Multi–Processing

TMS320C6455 DSP, sampling today, offers improved performance, reduced code size plus more on-chip memory. In addition, this new DSP enables high-performance, multi-processing via Serial RapidIO™ and other new high bandwidth peripherals. Details include:

New C64x+ core: 1GHz performance, 8000 16 bit MMACs, 20% cycle improvement and 20-30% code density improvement over C64x Serial RapidIO™: Up to 10 Gbits/sec full duplex bus. Other High Bandwidth Peripherals: Gigabit Ethernet MAC, DDR2 and PCI-66, 2 MBytes of L2 Memory Learn more about how Serial RapidIO™ can benefit your application. Review the C6455 DSP block diagram for complete details.

These features enable the C6455 DSP to bring greater functionality and higher system performance to applications such video and voice transcoding, videoconferencing servers, high-definition (HD) video encoding and mixer systems, wireless base station transceivers, HD radio, medical imaging, and photo labs and printing. As the telecom and video industries continue to develop new services, the programming flexibility of the C6455 DSP allows developers to keep pace with changes in standards and to quickly implement multiple voice and video codecs in their system design.

New C64x+ Core: More performance, smaller code size and 100% code compatible

The C6455 DSP is based on the new C64x+ DSP core. The enhanced C64x+ DSP core adds new specialized instructions that on average, makes code 20% to 30% more compact and 20% more cycle efficient. This reduced code size enables you to reduce cost in your application. Review the C64x+ block diagram for complete details.
