C6000 High Performance Digital Signal Processors
Low Power and Energy Efficient Processors

The C64x™ high performance DSP generation features TI’s VelociTI.2™ VLIW architecture extensions that include support for packed data processing and special purpose instructions to accelerate broadband infrastructure and imaging applications. The C64x generation is shipping DSPs with clock speeds available up to 1 GHz and can incorporate multiple memory, peripheral and voltage combinations to address a wide range of high performance applications.

 Low Power and Energy Efficient Processors

C64x™ DSP architecture highlights include:

  • VelociTI.2 architecture extensions with new instructions to accelerate performance in key applications
  • Increased parallelism with quad 16-bit and octal 8-bit multiply-accumulate performance
  • Improved orthogonality with frequently used instructions available in more functional units
  • Double the bandwidth resulting from more registers, wider load/store data paths and enlarged 2-level cache
  • Completely software compatible with TMS320C62x™ DSPs

The C64x+™ DSP core architecture also includes:

  • 32-bit multiply instructions for extended precision computation
  • Expanded arithmetic functions to support FFT and DCT algorithms
  • Improved complex multiplication support
  • Double dot product instructions for improving throughput of FIR loops
  • New Parallel packing Instructions
  • Enhanced Galois Field Multiply
