The TMS320C64x+™ DSPs (including the TMS320DM6433 device) are the
highest-performance fixed-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform.
The DM6433 device is based on the third-generation high-performance, advanced
VelociTI™ very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture developed by Texas
Instruments (TI), making these DSPs an excellent choice for digital media
applications. The C64x+™ devices are upward code-compatible from previous
devices that are part of the C6000™ DSP platform. The C64x™ DSPs support added
functionality and have an expanded instruction set from previous devices.
Any reference to the C64x DSP or C64x CPU also applies, unless otherwise
noted, to the C64x+ DSP and C64x+ CPU, respectively.
With performance of up to 4800 million instructions per second (MIPS) at a
clock rate of 600 MHz, the C64x+ core offers solutions to high-performance DSP
programming challenges. The DSP core possesses the operational flexibility of
high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array processors. The
C64x+ DSP core processor has 64 general-purpose registers of 32-bit word length
and eight highly independent functional units-two multipliers for a 32-bit
result and six arithmetic logic units (ALUs). The eight functional units include
instructions to accelerate the performance in video and imaging applications.
The DSP core can produce four 16-bit multiply-accumulates (MACs) per cycle for a
total of 2400 million MACs per second (MMACS), or eight 8-bit MACs per cycle for
a total of 4800 MMACS. For more details on the C64x+ DSP, see the
TMS320C64x/C64x+ DSP CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide (literature number
SPRU732).
The DM6433 also has application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory, and
additional on-chip peripherals similar to the other C6000 DSP platform devices.
The DM6433 core uses a two-level cache-based architecture. The Level 1 program
memory/cache (L1P) consists of a 256K-bit memory space that can be configured as
mapped memory or direct mapped cache, and the Level 1 data (L1D) consists of a
640K-bit memory space-384K-bit of which is mapped memory and 256K-bit of which
can be configured as mapped memory or 2-way set-associative cache. The Level 2
memory/cache (L2) consists of a 1M-bit memory space that is shared between
program and data space. L2 memory can be configured as mapped memory, cache, or
combinations of the two.
The peripheral set includes: 1 configurable video port; a 10/100 Mb/s
Ethernet MAC (EMAC) with a management data input/output (MDIO) module; a 4-bit
transmit, 4-bit receive VLYNQ interface; an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) Bus
interface; a multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP0); a multichannel audio
serial port (McASP0) with 4 serializers; 2 64-bit general-purpose timers each
configurable as 2 independent 32-bit timers; 1 64-bit watchdog timer; a
user-configurable 16-bit host-port interface (HPI); up to 111-pins of
general-purpose input/output (GPIO) with programmable interrupt/event generation
modes, multiplexed with other peripherals; a UART with hardware handshaking
support; 3 pulse width modulator (PWM) peripherals; 1 peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) [33 MHz]; and 2 glueless external memory interfaces: an
asynchronous external memory interface (EMIFA) for slower memories/peripherals,
and a higher speed synchronous memory interface for DDR2.
The DM6433 device includes a Video Processing Subsystem (VPSS) with a Video
Processing Back-End (VPBE) output.
The Video Processing Back-End (VPBE) is comprised of an On-Screen Display
Engine (OSD) and a Video Encoder (VENC). The OSD engine is capable of handling 2
separate video windows and 2 separate OSD windows. Other configurations include
2 video windows, 1 OSD window, and 1 attribute window allowing up to 8 levels of
alpha blending. The VENC provides four analog DACs that run at 54 MHz, providing
a means for composite NTSC/PAL video, S-Video, and/or Component video output.
The VENC also provides up to 24 bits of digital output to interface to RGB888
devices. The digital output is capable of 8/16-bit BT.656 output and/or CCIR.601
with separate horizontal and vertical syncs.
The Resizer accepts image data for separate horizontal and vertical resizing
from 1/4x to 4x in increments of 256/N, where N is between 64 and 1024.
The Ethernet Media Access Controller (EMAC) provides an efficient interface
between the DM6433 and the network. The DM6433 EMAC support both 10Base-T and
100Base-TX, or 10 Mbits/second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps in either half- or
full-duplex mode, with hardware flow control and quality of service (QOS)
support.
The Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) module continuously polls all 32 MDIO
addresses in order to enumerate all PHY devices in the system.
The I2C and VLYNQ ports allow DM6433 to easily control peripheral devices
and/or communicate with host processors.
The rich peripheral set provides the ability to control external peripheral
devices and communicate with external processors. For details on each of the
peripherals, see the related sections later in this document and the associated
peripheral reference guides.
The DM6433 has a complete set of development tools. These include C
compilers, a DSP assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and
a Windows™ debugger interface for visibility into source code
