TMS320C64x™ Sampling Announcement
A.T.E.M.E.
"Using the first samples of the C6415 DSP that TI is delivering this week, A.T.E.M.E. will introduce our imaging evaluation board to the market, which will enable our customers to decrease their development time with a dedicated and intergrated video platform. This new development environment combined with A.T.E.M.E.'s powerful eXpressDSP-compliant video algorithms, will enable our customers to realize new high end imaging applications, before unheard of with a single processor board."
Marc Guillaumet, product manager,
A.T.E.M.E.
Commetrex
"Commetrex is excited about the new C64x™ from TI. With a six-fold improvement in channel density at one-third the power, we are able to redefine what's possible in high-density systems. As Commetrex targets access-network equipment with its enabling technologies, we fully leverage the unprecedented power of the C6000™ DSPs to produce cost-effective media-processing hardware. As one of the foremost providers of media technology optimized for the C6000, we intend to fully support the C64x and leverage the communications-specific features of the C6416."
Cliff Schornak, CTO,
Commetrex
Imagine Technology
"We plan to further the audio, telephony and encryption markets by developing eXpressDSP-compliant solutions for TI's new C64x in creating algorithms such MP3 decoder, AAC, DES, 3DES, AEC, G.7XX and G.16X, Imagine will provide both framework and algorithms for a complete customer solution."

Motorola Computer Group
"As telecom OEMs migrate their 3G base station designs to the commercial rollout phase, the key goal is to retain a software programmable architecture while increasing channel density and lowering the cost per user. Motorola Computer Group is achieving these OEM goals with the next generation of ComStruct™ wireless and packet voice processing boards, thanks to advances in TI silicon and innovative new platform architectures, such as the TMS320C6416, to suit these applications.
By significantly increasing DSP performance and adding on chip co-processor elements, TI has significantly increased channel density for Node B applications in 3G, and removed the need for external hardware for the Forward Error Correctors. This not only opens up board area that can be used to increase channel density per slot, but also lowers power dissipation, which all helps to reduce cost per port and design risk.
The ComStruct™ approach leverages TI's strengths and requires a greatly simplified design, accelerating time to market and reducing risk, as well as providing a more flexible, largely programmable architecture."

Pentek
"The introduction of the TMS320C6414 DSP clearly demonstrates Texas Instruments' strong commitment to high-performance DSP. This device delivers substantially increased processing power, with dramatically lower power and cost. With software code-compatibility, our customers can easily upgrade their existing C62x™ DSP systems to take full advantage of these new cost and performance benefits. Pentek is harnessing the power and compatibility of TI's C6414 not only through its COTS DSP hardware designs but also through the development of compatible communications, software and data acquisition system components."
Rodger Hosking, vice president,
Pentek
Spectrum Signal Processing
"Spectrum Signal Processing is committed to offering products based on Texas Instruments' new C64x DSP generation for fixed-point software-defined radio applications in our government and commercial markets, including COMINT, MILCOM and satellite infrastructure. The increase in processing power, the addition of co-processors and the extensive range of peripherals allow Spectrum to offer significant performance enhancements to our customers."

Wintegra
"The performance levels of the C64x DSPs in conjunction with our aggregation packet processors give our mutual customers a new level of scalability using standard interfaces. Our ability to exchange both IP packets and ATM cells over TI's new UTOPIA interfaces is going to be critical in the next generation of media gateways and wireless base stations. Carriers will now be able to deploy a single platform that preserves existing capital investments in ATM, while simultaneously supporting new IP services."
