The enhanced host port interface (EHPI) on the TMS320VC5509 and TMS320VC5510 DSPs provides a 16-bit port through which a host device may access the internal and external memory space of the DSP. The flexibility of the EHPI interface allows various host devices to interface with the DSP using minimal or no external interface logic. This document describes various possible EHPI configurations and ex

Power consumption is a key concern for embedded system developers. By developing low-power solutions, developers can deliver products that have longer battery life. One technique that can be used to save power is frequency and voltage scaling of the processor.Since the power consumption of a DSP is proportional to the system clock switching speed, running the device at the lowest possible fre

The TMS320C55xв„ў(C55xв„ў) External Memory Interface (EMIF) supports a glueless interface to high-density and high-speed synchronous burst static random access memories (SBSRAM). For clocking SBSRAMs, the EMIF can operate at numerous C55x DSP CPU clock output frequency multiples. Examples are given for system-level connection and register configuration for the different types of SBSRAM mem
