Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) is adding two new devices – the TMS320C5514 and TMS320C5515 – to the industry’s lowest power 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP) C5000 platform. In addition, to help customers get started quickly, TI is announcing two evaluation options including a full-featured TMDXEVM5515 evaluation module and a new low-cost TMDX5515EZDSP.
“These new low-power TMS320C55x DSPs provide a 20-per cent performance increase, up to 120MHz, with higher integration to ease system level development. This allows customers to maintain very low-power levels while adding features such as additional encode and decode algorithms in voice, audio and portable communications applications, as well as more real-time diagnostics in medical end equipments,” said Praveen K. Ganapathy, Director, Business Development, Texas Instruments India.
These devices also integrate power management features, such as on-chip LDOs (low-dropout regulators), as well as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, so customers can maximize and efficiently manage battery life for portable devices.
