TMS320F206 DEVELOPMENT BOARD TECHNICAL REFERENCE

This application report describes the configuration of the Texas Instruments (TIä) TMS320F206 development board (DVB). The standalone DVB allows TMS320 DSP users to evaluate TMS320F206 ('F206) DSP pin-compatible devices and determine if the 'F206 meets their application requirements.

TI's 'F206 is the first DSP with on-chip flash memory available at an attractive price for volume products. The 'F206 features 32K words of non-volatile re-programmable flash memory with coefficient on-chip storage. Flash memory is more flexible than ROM, costs less than SRAM, and allows the design to reduce board size as well. The 'F206 is fabricated with static CMOS integrated-circuit technology and is optimized for low power operation.

The 'F206 architecture is based on TI's TMS320C2xx series design. The new TMS320C2xx ('C2xx) generation offers the power of digital signal processing to designers of high-performance, cost-sensitive, and emerging applications. The 'C2xx generation is based on TI's C2xLP core with different configurations depending on the choice of on-chip memory size and peripheral options.

The 'F206 DVB is also an excellent platform from which to develop and verify the software code for the 'C2xx DSP family. Customers can design their specific development system through the board-to-board expansion connector that offers the on-board signals.
