Processor selection made easy – New interactive selection tools
Now live on TI.com, two new selection tools will aid you in processor selection based on your design requirements:
- Applications Processors & DSP - this tool allows you to do processor selection based on various parameters whether for a DSP or SoC. In addition, you can search for processors based on system and software capabilities as well as supported Operating Systems.
- MCU - this tool allows you to select the right MCU by using multiple parameters. From memory size and type to number of pins and integrated peripherals, this tool also allows you to configure results based on analog integration and standyby and active current.
