FASTER SCAN CONVERSION USING THE TMS320C80 DSP

This application report describes the process of parallelizing the scan conversion stage using the Texas Instruments (TI(TM)) TMS320C80 digital signal processor (DSP). Current approaches are discussed and a new approach is suggested to make the graphics pipeline faster, especially at the scan conversion stage. The suitability of the TMS320C80 for the suggested approach is investigated and the design philosophy is explained.
