USING THE TMS320C6X MCBSP AS A HIGH SPEED COMMUNICATION PORT

This document describes how to use the two multi-channel buffered serial ports (McBSP) in the Texas Instruments (TIä) TMS320C6201 digital signal processor (DSP) as a high-speed data communication port.

Either one or both McBSPs in the C6201 can be connected to a McBSP of a different C6201 to serve as a high-speed data communication port. To achieve the maximum data rate, it is necessary to connect the two serial ports so that one device behaves both as a clock master and frame master. Master refers to a device that generates the required signal (such as clocks and frames). Using the set up described in this document, a maximum speed of 50 Mbps can be achieved with two McBSPs communicating with each other.
