TMS320 Family Overview

The TMS320 family consists of fixed-point, floating-point, multiprocessor digi-

tal signal processors (DSPs), and fixed-point DSP controllers. TMS320 DSPs

have an architecture designed specifically for real-time signal processing. The

’C24x series of DSP controllers combines this real-time processing capability

with controller peripherals to create an ideal solution for control system

applications. The following characteristics make the TMS320 family the right

choice for a wide range of processing applications:

- Very flexible instruction set

- Inherent operational flexibility

- High-speed performance

- Innovative parallel architecture

- Cost effectiveness

In 1982, Texas Instruments introduced the TMS32010, the first fixed-point

DSP in the TMS320 family. Before the end of the year,

Electronic Products

magazine awarded the TMS32010 the title “Product of the Year”. Today, the

TMS320 family consists of the following generations shown in Figure 1–1:

’C1x, ’C2x, ’C24x, ’C5x, ’C54x, and ’C6x fixed-point DSPs; ’C3x and ’C4x float-

ing-point DSPs; and ’C8x multiprocessor DSPs. The ’C24x is considered part

of the ’C24x family of fixed-point DSPs, and a member of the ’C2000 platform.

Devices within a generation of the TMS320 family have the same CPU struc-

ture but different on-chip memory and peripheral configurations. Spin-off

devices use new combinations of on-chip memory and peripherals to satisfy

a wide range of needs in the worldwide electronics market. By integrating

memory and peripherals onto a single chip, TMS320 devices reduce system

costs and save circuit board space.
