TMS320 DSP Family Overviiew / TMS320C6000 DSP Family Overview

1.1 TMS320 DSP Family Overview

The TMS320DSP family consists of fixed-point, floating-point, and multipro- cessor digital signal processors (DSPs). TMS320DSPs have an architec- ture designed specifically for real-time signal processing.

Table 1−1 lists some typical applications for the TMS320family of DSPs. The TMS320DSPs offer adaptable approaches to traditional signal-processing problems. They also support complex applications that often require multiple operations to be performed simultaneously.

1.2 TMS320C6000 DSP Family Overview

With a performance of up to 6000 million instructions per second (MIPS) and an efficient C compiler, the TMS320C6000 DSPs give system architects unlimited possibilities to differentiate their products. High performance, ease of use, and affordable pricing make the C6000 generation the ideal solution for multichannel, multifunction applications, such as:

-Pooled modems

-Wireless local loop base stations

-Remote access servers (RAS)

-Digital subscriber loop (DSL) systems

-Cable modems

-Multichannel telephony systems

The C6000 generation is also an ideal solution for exciting new applications; for example:

-Personalized home security with face and hand/fingerprint recognition

-Advanced cruise control with global positioning systems (GPS) navigation and accident avoidance

-Remote medical diagnostics

-Beam-forming base stations

-Virtual reality 3-D graphics

-Speech recognition

-Audio

-Radar

-Atmospheric modeling

-Finite element analysis

-Imaging (examples: fingerprint recognition, ultrasound, and MRI)
