TMS320C6000 EMIF to External Asynchronous SRAM Interface (Rev. A)

Interfacing external asynchronous static RAM (ASRAM) to the Texas Instruments (TI™) TMS320C6000 series of digital signal processors (DSPs) is simple compared to previous generations of TI DSPs, thanks to the advanced external memory interface (EMIF). The EMIF provides a glueless interface to a variety of external memory devices.

This document describes:

  • EMIF control registers and ASRAM signals
  • ASRAM functionality and performance considerations
  • Full example using Toshiba's TC55V1664FT-12 (64k x 16, 12 ns)
  • Full example using the IDT71V016S25 (64k x 16, 25 ns) from Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT)
