TMS320C549 and TMS320C5410

Lowest Power Dissipation in the Industry

  • .45 milli-Amps per MIPS or 113 Milli-Watts at 100 MIPS
  • 'C5410 core operates at 2.5V with 1.8V core planned
  • Integration of large memory and peripherals reduces power-consuming off-chip operations
  • Power-reducing features include
    • Three IDLE states drop power to less than one micro-Amp
    • External bus-off control disables the external bus
    • Bus keepers/holders maintain the last state of the external bus
    • Software-programmable phase lock loop (PLL) lowers system clock

Large Memory Integration

  • 'C549: 32K words of on-chip SRAM
  • 'C5410: 64K words of on-chip SRAM

Small Packaging

  • 'C549 and 'C5410 are available in a 144-pin package, measuring 20 x 20 x 1.4 mm for easy upward migration
  • 'C549 also comes in a 144-ball microStar™ BGA package measuring 12 x 12 x 1.4 mm (smaller than a U.S. dime)
  • 'C5410 will also initially be offered in a microStar BGA package (176 balls) measuring 15 x 15 x 1.4 mm
  • microStar BGA can use laser-drilled vias for ultimate reduction in effective footprint

New Peripherals on 'C5410

  • Multi-Channel Buffered Serial Port (MCBSP)
    • Double buffered data registers allow continuous data stream
    • Full-duplex, bi-directional communication
    • Direct interface to T1/E1 framers, MVIP, ST-bus and IOM-2 devices
    • Multi-phase frame synchronization for interfacing to AC97 devices
    • Multi-channel transmit and receive of up to 128 channels
    • Highly programmable internal clock and frame generation
  • Direct memory access (DMA) channels
    • Six DMA channels provided: one with 23-bit and five with 16-bit address capabilities
    • Accessible to program, data and I/O spaces
    • Programmable priorities for each channel
    • Five options for source and destination address modifications
    • DMA transfer can be synchronized with MCBSP transmits or receives, timer interrupt or INT3
    • Double word (32-bit) mode
    • Multi-frame transfer mode available for each DMA channel

Small Assembly Code Size

  • Highly efficient dual-operand instruction set working in tandem with two read buses, one write bus and one program fetch bus
  • 40-bit adder and two 40-bit accumulators support parallel instructions that execute in only one instruction cycle
  • Single-cycle instructions that efficiently execute common DSP tasks that required multiple instructions on previous DSPs
  • 40-bit ALU features a dual 16-bit configuration capability to enable dual one-cycle operations
