This application report discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320DM6467T digital media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). Power consumption on the DM6467T device is highly application-dependent; therefore, a spreadsheet that estimates power consumption is provided along with this document. To obtain good results from the spreadsheet, realistic usage parameters must be entered (see Secti

This document describes the functionality of the TMS320DM6467 Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC) ARM ROM bootloader (RBL) software. The ARM ROM bootloader resides in the ROM of the device beginning at address 0x00008000. The RBL implements methods for booting in the listed modes and uses boot configuration pins to determine boot mode. If an improper boot mode is chosen, or an error is detected d

The Texas Instruments DM646x devices support interfacing to a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus through its PCI port. The system or the application may contain a PCI ExpressВ® interface. In order to connect the PCI Express bus to the DM646x PCI bus, an XIO2000A translation bridge is used. XIO2000A is a PCI Express to PCI/PCI-Xв„ў bus translation bridge.

This application report describes the device differences to be taken care for running the C64x+™ video codec software on different C64x+ based platforms. This document assumes that the codec software is developed for the C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) core. As many TI platforms have a C64x+ DSP this document gives the details for running the standalone codec software on a C64x+ platfo

Texas Instruments (TI[TM]) next-generation logic is called the Advanced Very-low-voltage CMOS (AVC) family. The AVCfamily features TI?s Dynamic Output Control (DOC[TM]) circuit (patent pending). DOC circuitry automatically lowers the outputimpedance of the circuit at the beginning of a signal transition, providing enough current to achieve high signaling speeds, thensubsequently raises the i

Texas Instruments (TI?) announces the industry?s first logic family to achieve maximum propagation delays of less than 2 ns at 2.5 V. TI?s next-generation logic is the Advanced Very-low-voltage CMOS (AVC) family. Although optimized for 2.5-V systems, AVC logic supports mixed-voltage systems because it is compatible with 3.3-V and 1.8-V devices. The AVC family features TI?s Dynamic Output Control (

This application report motivates the way the DDR high-speed timing requirements are now going to be communicated to system designers. The traditional method of using data sheet parameters and simulation models is tedious. The system designer uses this information to evaluate whether timing specifications are met and can be expected to operate reliably.Ultimately, the real question the hardwa

Supply voltages continue to migrate to lower nodes to support today's low-power high-performance applications. While some devices are capable of running at lower supply nodes others might not have this capability. To haveswitching compatibility between these devices the output of each driver must be compliant with the input of the receiver that it is driving. There are several level-translati
