New Power-Efficient DSPs and Breakthrough Tools Redefine
Low-Power Signal Processing Designs

Maximize battery life and reduce cost in portable applications such as mobile or handheld entertainment, GPS, communications, secure radio, biometrics, instrumentation and medical applications with three new low-power DSPs and the new eXpressDSP™ power design tools.

Three New TMS320C5000™ DSPs offer the Industry’s Lowest Standby Power

The new TMS320C5503, TMS320C5507 and TMS320C5509A DSPs enable advanced low-power consumption through:

• Industry’s lowest standby power at 0.12 mW – 114x lower than nearest competition
• Low core and memory operating power
• Dynamic frequency and voltage scaling
• Multiple standby modes with ability to turn on and off individual peripherals and internal functional units
• Multiple SRAM options (64 KB, 128 KB, and 256 KB RAM) for efficient code fit

New Comprehensive eXpressDSP™ Power Design Tools Allow You to Design Low-Power Applications

Determining accurate power consumption early in the design process is essential. The new eXpressDSP power design tools eliminate the guesswork and provide visibility into devices, allowing you to make the right tradeoffs in performance, peripherals activity and external memory use.

In addition, the tools enable developers to consume only as much power as necessary by dynamically turning off all peripherals and internal functional units when not in use. You can now configure devices based on accurate and detailed power consumption information.
