The TMS320C71x is the next-generation fixed and floating-point DSP platform. The C71x DSP is a new core in the Texas Instruments' DSP family. The C71x DSP supports vector signal processing, providing significant lift in DSP processing power over a broad range of general signal processing tasks in comparison to the C6x DSP family. In addition, the C71x provides several specialized functions which accelerate targeted functions by more than 30 times. Besides expanding vector processing capabilities, the new C71x core also incorporates advanced techniques to improve control code efficiency and ease of programming such as branch prediction, protected pipeline, precise exception and virtual memory management.
The C71x builds on the C6x's legacy but it is not binary compatible with any previous C6x DSPs. Many of the C71x architecture features are new and unique. The C71x is designed as a platform with these characteristics:
Some instances of C671SS are tightly coupled with a matrix multiply accelerator (MMA).
The C71SS is also referred to as C71x CorePac.
Figure 6-45 shows an overview of the C71SS.
