New TI DSP Cores

TI’s code compatible next-generation C5000™ DSP core, the C55x™, delivers the industry’s best power-efficient performance for digital communications applications.

• The C55x DSP cores are the lowest power, general-purpose DSPs in the world at 0.05 mW/MIPS  --  extending battery life 6x longer than existing solutions.

• The C55x DSP cores provide a code compatible, up to 5x-performance increase over current C54x DSPs for power- and space-constrained applications.

• The C55x DSP cores slash code size up to 30% over current industry leaders   --  lowering system cost, power and space.

• The C55x DSP core will include a range of code-compatible power/price/performance options.

TI’s code-compatible next generation C6000™ DSP core, the C64x™, is the world’s highest performance and easiest to use DSP, delivering fast time-to-market for performance-intensive applications.

The C64x DSP cores extend the world’s highest performance DSPs to 1.1GHz/8800 MIPS/4400 16-bit MMACS.

• The industry’s best C compiler delivers over 80% of the performance of hand-coded assembly.

• The C64x DSP cores build upon a legacy of eight code-compatible, fixed- and floating-point devices, offering performance headroom while protecting code investment.

• The C64x DSP core will include a range of code-compatible power/price/performance options.

Signalogic and TI's new C55x™ DSP Core

Texas Instruments' C55x™ DSP next-generation DSP cores will provide a natural upgrade path and quantum leap in performance for the C54x™ DSP-based products Signalogic now has available. These include the "MIPs Monster" series of cPCI and PCI boards that use a scalable C54x DSP module approach to combine the telecom industry's highest DSP MIPs densities with voice-over-Internet, networking and computer telephony functions. With the C55x DSP core, the MIPs Monster boards will offer more than 100 GIPs in a single, cPCI 6U form-factor board, at less than 35 watts of power dissipation. This level of processing density is equivalent to stacking more than 50 Pentium III processors - which would be impossible without a liquid cooling system.
