The TMS320C6416 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), developed jointly with Spectrum Digital, provides system design engineers with an easy-to-use, cost-effective development tool for high-performance TMS320C6000™ DSP designs. This fixed-point DSK targets a variety of high-performance applications such as multi-channel wireless, video and media infrastructure, video-imaging, network and other processing-intensive applications.

The C6416 DSK is based on the high-performance TMS320C6416 DSP which is a 720 MHz device that can achieve up to 5760 MIPS in performance. The processing-intensive C6416 DSP architecture features a two-level cache and VLIW parallelism capable of performing eight 32-bit instructions per cycle. Included on the C6416 DSK, is 16 MB of SDRAM for handling high-performance, memory intensive applications such as multi-channel systems.

The C6416 DSK is available now at an introductory price of US $395.00 and includes:

• 512K of non-volatile FLASH memory
• 16-bit stereo codec
