Texas Instruments Introduces Two Multi-Core TMS320C5000 DSPs |

| Texas Instruments introduces two new power-efficient digital signal
processors (DSPs) able to deliver up to four T1-spans, or 96 channels, of voice, fax and modem data in one square inch of board space.
The new TMS320VC5421 and TMS320VC5441, containing two and four DSP cores
respectively, can process voice, fax and modem data in less board space and with less power-per-channel than any other competitive DSP on the
market. These code-compatible, programmable DSPs further expand the scope of the C54x™ DSP generation which has shipped more than 250 million units to date. As the world's most popular DSP platform, the TMS320C5000™ DSPs have garnered $2.5 billion in design-ins since 1997. Both the C5421 and the C5441 measure 144 mm² (12mm x 12mm package), nearly eight times smaller than their nearest competitors, which allows more channels to be packed in less circuit board area. In addition, the C5421 and C5441 deliver industry-leading power per channel. Both devices are based on the C54x DSP architecture and allow a seamless migration path from their predecessors in the C54x generation. They are fully compatible with TI's comprehensive suite of development tools for code generation, simulation and emulation. TMS320C5421 DSP features:
TMS320C5441 features:
Samples of the C5421 are available now with production scheduled for
2Q00. Samples of the C5441 are planned to be available in 3Q00, with production scheduled for 4Q00. Prices for the C5421 are expected to be
$80 and $160 for the C5441 (in quantities of 25KU). Telogy™ (a Texas
Instruments company) software license unit pricing starts at $2.50 per port for PCM voice and varies
based on applications and volume. |
