About This Manual

This document describes the DSP subsystem in the TMS320DM643x Digital Media Processor (DMP).

Notational Conventions

This document uses the following conventions.

∙Hexadecimal numbers are shown with the suffix h. For example, the following number is 40 hexadecimal (decimal 64): 40h.

∙Registers in this document are shown in figures and described in tables.

–Each register figure shows a rectangle divided into fields that represent the fields of the register. Each field is labeled with its bit name, its beginning and ending bit numbers above, and its read/write properties below. A legend explains the notation used for the properties.

–Reserved bits in a register figure designate a bit that is used for future device expansion.

SPRU983 — TMS320DM643x DMP Peripherals Overview Reference Guide. Provides an overview and briefly describes the peripherals available on the TMS320DM643x Digital Media Processor (DMP).

SPRAA84 — TMS320C64x to TMS320C64x+ CPU Migration Guide. Describes migrating from the Texas Instruments TMS320C64x digital signal processor (DSP) to the TMS320C64x+ DSP. The objective of this document is to indicate differences between the two cores. Functionality in the devices that is identical is not included.

SPRU732 — TMS320C64x/C64x+ DSP CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide. Describes the CPU architecture, pipeline, instruction set, and interrupts for the TMS320C64x and TMS320C64x+ digital signal processors (DSPs) of the TMS320C6000 DSP family. The C64x/C64x+ DSP generation comprises fixed-point devices in the C6000 DSP platform. The C64x+ DSP is an enhancement of the C64x DSP with added functionality and an expanded instruction set.

SPRU871 — TMS320C64x+ DSP Megamodule Reference Guide. Describes the TMS320C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) megamodule. Included is a discussion on the internal direct memory access (IDMA) controller, the interrupt controller, the power-down controller, memory protection, bandwidth management, and the memory and cache.

SPRU862 — TMS320C64x+ DSP Cache User's Guide. Explains the fundamentals of memory caches and describes how the two-level cache-based internal memory architecture in the TMS320C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) of the TMS320C6000 DSP family can be efficiently used in DSP applications. Shows how to maintain coherence with external memory, how to use DMA to reduce memory latencies, and how to optimize your code to improve cache efficiency. The internal memory architecture in the C64x+ DSP is organized in a two-level hierarchy consisting of a dedicated program cache (L1P) and a dedicated data cache (L1D) on the first level. Accesses by the CPU to the these first level caches can complete without CPU pipeline stalls. If the data requested by the CPU is not contained in cache, it is fetched from the next lower memory level, L2 or external memory.
