TMS320C6412 brings reduced system cost and powerful peripheral set to networking, telecom infrastructure and high-end imaging applications
November 17, 2003- Fueling innovation with affordable, high performance digital signal processing (DSP) technology, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced the TMS320C6412 DSP, which reduces overall system costs and opens the door to designers in need of affordable DSPs to handle high performance capabilities. The C6412 is suited for a wide variety of high-performance applications and is particularly ideal in signal processing areas such as telecom infrastructure, networking and high-end imaging. This is due in part to a rich set of peripherals, including an on-chip Ethernet MAC (media access controller), peripheral component interconnect (PCI) port, host port interface (HPI) as well as generous on-chip random access memory (RAM). The C6412 DSP is sampling today in both 500 and 600 MHz versions. For more information, see: www.ti.com/c6412launch.TI is currently sampling the TMS320C6412, available in both 500 and 600 MHz clock speeds, with production scheduled for 2Q04. Pricing starts at $39.95 for 10 KU at 500 MHz. The C6416 DSK is also available today for $395 (see www.ti.com/c6000dsksp).
