It provides a perfect architecture for audio and video compression and decompression, video-on-demand, video encoding and streaming, telecommunications, and digital multimedia applications. It also finds applications in networks, robotics and machine learning, medical imaging and image processing, entertainment and general processor applications.

Working Principle

At the heart of the TMS320C6455BZTZ8 is a CorePac module, which contains all of the core processor, memory and peripheral components. It features a dual-issue, dual-pipeline, Harvard architecture, 16-bit RISC-like instruction set processor core with 68 powerful instructions. The processor core is further enhanced by two Floating-point Units (FPUs) for accelerated floating-point operations. It is designed for high performance and low power consumption, with a 260 MHz maximum clock rate and 1.5V core voltage.

The CorePac module also includes two memory interfaces (MIX-2 & MIX-3), an interval timer, two 32-bit link ports and two I/O ports. The two memory interfaces allow the direct connection of external memories such as DRAM, SRAM, FLASH, and ROM. It supports multiple memory types and can be operated in single-bank or dual-bank configurations. The two link ports are shared by the MIX-2 and MIX-3 memory interfaces and allow connection to external memory devices, communication peripherals and other CorePacs.

The DSP also has four 32-bit general-purpose I/O ports for connections to external peripherals. These ports can be used for debug and communications, ADC, DAC and other interfacing. It also includes a 64-bit wide controller and peripheral bus (CPB) that connects all of the CorePac modules.
