Display Timing Examples

4.9.2Interlaced Raw Display Example

This section shows an example of raw display output for the same 704 ⋅ 408 interlaced image.

The horizontal output timing is shown in Figure 4–35. This diagram assumes that there is a two VCLK pipeline delay between the internal counter changing and the output on external pins. The actual delay can be longer or shorter as long as it is consistent within any display mode. The active line is 720-pixels wide. Figure 4–35 shows the 704-pixel image window centered in the screen that results in an IMGHOFFx of 8 pixels.

The HBLNK and HSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active- low operation. Note that only one of the two signals is actually available exter- nally. The HBLNK inactive edge occurs on sample 0.

The IPCOUNT operation follows the description in section 4.1.2. IPCOUNT resets to 0 at the first displayed pixel (FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel (IPCOUNT = IMGHSIZEx). Both the IPCOUNT and FPCOUNT counters increment on every third VCLKIN rising edge, as programmed by the INCPIX bits in VDTHRLD with a value of 3.

VDOUT shows the output data and switching between Default Data, and FIFO Data. Three values are output sequentially on VDOUT for each pixel count. Note that the default value is output during both the blanking and nondisplay image active video regions.

TMS320C64x DSP specifications

The TMS320C64x DSP family from Texas Instruments represents a significant milestone in the realm of digital signal processing. Launched as part of the C6000 series, the C64x DSPs are designed for high-performance applications requiring intensive computational capabilities, such as telecommunications, audio processing, video processing, and industrial control systems.

One of the standout features of the TMS320C64x DSP is its VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) architecture, which allows for an exceptionally high level of parallelism. This architecture enables multiple instructions to be executed simultaneously, boosting the overall throughput and allowing for complex data processing tasks to be completed more quickly than with conventional DSPs.

The C64x DSPs also boast an impressive clock frequency range, typically up to 1 GHz, delivering substantial computational power for real-time processing goals. Additionally, these processors feature extensive on-chip memory, including L1 and L2 cache, which significantly enhances data access speeds and helps reduce bottlenecks during high-demand processing tasks.

Another key characteristic of the TMS320C64x family is its support for advanced instruction sets optimized for specific applications. These include SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) capabilities, allowing for efficient handling of large datasets often involved in multimedia processing or complex signal manipulation.

For connectivity, these DSPs often integrate advanced interfaces such as EMIF (External Memory Interface) and McBSP (Multichannel Buffered Serial Port), facilitating seamless interaction with a variety of peripheral devices. This ensures that the DSP can suit different application needs and integrate well into various system architectures.

Texas Instruments emphasizes low power consumption with the C64x DSPs, making them ideal for portable or energy-sensitive applications. Advanced power management techniques and technologies, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, are incorporated to further enhance energy efficiency without compromising performance.

In summary, the Texas Instruments TMS320C64x DSP family stands out due to its high-performance capabilities driven by a VLIW architecture, high clock speeds, extensive memory options, a rich instruction set, and advanced connectivity features, all while maintaining power efficiency. These characteristics make it an exceptional choice for developers looking to integrate robust digital signal processing into their applications, whether in telecommunications, audio and video processing, or embedded control systems.
