TMS320C6727B DSP Floating Point Digital Signal Processor - Texas Instruments

TI announced the TMS320C6727B DSP, its new floating-point Digital Signal Processor (DSP) running at 350 MHz. The C6727B DSP is also available at speeds of 275 MHz and 300 MHz, giving developers the flexibility to seamlessly migrate to 350 MHz without changing the hardware on their design.

Additionally, since the C6727 Digital Signal Processor is fully code compatible with TI’s scaleable family of floating-point DSPs, the TMS320C6720, TMS320C6722B and TMS320C6726B developers can easily migrate to the C6727B Digital Signal Processor.

The C6727B has a 32-bit external memory interface (EMIF) that provides a 33 percent increase in SDRAM speed from 100 MHz to 133 MHz. This allows the DSP to handle significantly more channels of audio so developers can meet the processing requirements in their tailored audio flagship applications, such as professional audio mixer and active noise-cancellation systems. The device also features the dMAX DMA engine which significantly improves system performance by performing complex 1-D, 2-D and 3-D memory transfers allowing the DSP to be dedicated to signal processing tasks.

TMS320C6727 DSPs are sampling immediately. The C6727B DSP is available at 275 MHz, 300 MHz and 350 MHz and is priced at $16.75, $19.95 and $25.95 respectively.
