TMS320LBC56PZ57

The Texas Instruments TMS320LBC56PZ57 is an embedded digital signal processor, specifically enhanced for matrix math and other linear algebra operations. Generally, this chip is meant for applications that require very high speed processing, such as an adaptive algorithm for predicting or controlling behavior in a system. The TI TMS320LBC56PZ57 DSP chip is made of an array of programmable logic fabric and built with a 32-bit fixed point processor. In addition to this processor, the DSP chip also includes a single cycle 16-bit MCU, FLASH and RAM, containing 2KB of RAM, 32KB of ROM, and hardware-mapped memory management and protection. Additionally, the chip also has audio and video interfaces, as well as multiple data bus and peripheral access. The TMS320LBC56PZ57 chip employs a variety of coding techniques that enable it to achieve very high speed performance. For example, the chip is designed to optimize certain operations; additionally, the chip can execute multiple instructions in a single cycle, and has a “superscalar” architecture, in which multiple instructions can be executed in parallel. The chip also has an internal memory mapping feature that allows it to access data stored in different memory banks in parallel; this feature, along with its highly optimized instruction set, can help the chip to operate at very high speeds.
