Texas Instruments adds two new devices to industry’s lowest power 16-bit DSP platform providing higher integration and 20 percent performance boost for portable devices

Bangalore (January 19, 2009)– Today, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) is adding two new devices, the TMS320C5514 and TMS320C5515, to the industry’s lowest power 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP) C5000 platform. In addition, to help customers get started quickly, TI is announcing two evaluation options including a full-featured TMDXEVM5515 evaluation module and a new low cost TMDX5515EZDSP.

These devices also integrate power management features, such as on-chip LDOs (low-dropout regulators), as well as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, so customers can maximize and efficiently manage battery life for portable devices.  For more information, visit www.ti.com/c5515-prprod.

C5514 DSP key features and benefits:

  • Three on-chip LDOs, one each for the DSP core, USB and analog subsystems
  • SDRAM and mobile SDRAM support for power sensitive applications
  • Highly-integrated peripherals – including a high-speed USB 2.0, I2S, UART, SPI, MMC/SD and GPIOs – reduce system cost and enable more user-friendly portable features
  • Up to 256 KB of on-chip memory saves both power and system cost by reducing the need for external memory
  • Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling help to maximize battery life in portable applications

C5515 DSP key features and benefits (in addition to C5514):

  • C5515 builds on C5514 with an additional 64KB on-chip memory (320KB total)
  • Up to 1024-point programmable FFT hardware accelerator
  • Integrated LCD display controller and 10-bit 4-channel SAR ADC reduce system cost and enable more user-interactive portable features
  • Scalable and pin-to-pin compatible with the C5514, provides customers with the flexibility to choose the right device for their application with easy migration options to build robust product families.
