Texas Instruments Introduces Highest Performance Floating Point DSP

Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the launch of the 350 MHz highest performance floating point DSP, the TMS320C6727B DSP, which provides the foundation for a new generation of digital signal processing technology for an exciting voice experience. The C6727B DSP dramatically increases processing speed and helps OEMs deliver unique, advanced products for performance-critical applications, including high-quality audio conferencing, multi-channel audio systems, audio broadcast biometrics, and industrial solutions. . The TI floating-point DSP product family, represented by the C6727B DSP, uses a core based on the TMS320C67x+ DSP family, which is coded in C language, and its VLIW architecture greatly improves application performance.

The 350 MHz C6727B DSP enhances TI's offering of a complete range of speed floating-point DSP platforms to help customers achieve product innovations that meet their outstanding audio performance requirements. The C6727B DSP also supports 275 MHz and 300 MHz frequencies, allowing seamless transition to 350 MHz without transforming the hardware in the design, providing developers with a high degree of flexibility.

In addition, the C6727 DSP and TI's scalable floating-point DSP family (TMS320C6720, TMS320C6722B and TMS320C6726B DSPs) are fully code-compatible, so developers can easily transition to the C6727B DSP without additional investment in hardware and software engineering. Instantly take advantage of the enhanced performance of the new device, saving both development costs and development time. The advantages of TI's floating-point DSP family enable customers to choose the ideal DSP architecture for their specific needs.

The C6727B provides a 32-bit external memory interface (EMIF) that increases the speed of SDRAM from 100 MHz to 133 MHz, achieving a 33% speed increase, increasing flexibility and scalability, and dramatically increasing the number of audio channels that the DSP can handle. Help developers meet the processing requirements of custom audio flagship applications (such as professional mixers and active noise cancellation systems). The device also features a dMAX DMA engine that performs advanced 1D, 2D, and 3D memory transfers, allowing the DSP to focus on signal processing tasks and significantly improve system performance.

Anocsys AG is the first in the world to introduce a custom ANC solution for home applications, said company CEO Harry Bachmann: “Anocsys AG continues to develop and develop its industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system. It can be done in C language, so we can implement the latest design concept in the shortest time based on the C672x platform. The excellent performance provided by the C6727B-350 allows us to implement more advanced technology in our products."

A full suite of tools and hardware customers have a variety of options for launching the C672x project, such as the Professional Audio Development Kit (PADK), a hardware and software solution that includes sound processing, presentation applications and frameworks. With this demo application, developers can design their own applications in a very short time. In addition to the PADK, developers can take advantage of the schematics, logic equations, and application notes provided by the DSP-Wueffen GmBH low-cost DSP-Weuffen C6727 DSP Evaluation Board (EVM). Users can immediately begin evaluation with a small EVM that includes SDRAM, flash memory, audio codecs, and peripheral connectors that allow users to easily extend the board to dedicated hardware.

Dieter Weuffen, CEO of DSP-Weuffen, stated: "The DSP-Weuffen C6727-EVM is popular with floating-point DSP customers in a variety of applications. The introduction of the C6727B-350 will further enhance customer focus on development tools and help them achieve Higher processing capabilities."

The C6727 is part of TI's complete signal chain for the high performance audio market. The C6727 combines with a broad portfolio of analog products including industry-leading data converters, S/PDIF transceivers, sample rate converters, and programmable amplifiers to form TI's complete line of highest performance audio signal chains.
