The Texas Instruments (TITM) TMS320C206 digital signal processors (DSPs) are fabricated with static CMOS integrated-circuit technology. The architectural design is based upon that of the TMS320C20x series and is optimized for low-power operation. The combination of advanced Harvard architecture, on-chip peripherals, on-chip memory, and a highly specialized instruction set is the basis of the operational flexibility and speed of the 'C206.

The 'C206 offers these advantages:

  • Enhanced TMS320 architectural design for increased performance and versatility
  • Advanced integrated-circuit processing technology for increased performance
  • 'C206 devices are pin- and code-compatible with 'C203 and 'F206 devices.
  • Source code for the 'C206 DSPs is software-compatible with the 'C1x and 'C2x DSPs and is upwardly compatible with fifth-generation DSPs ('C5x)
  • New static-design techniques for minimizing power consumption and increasing radiation tolerance
