HOUSTON, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) is adding two new devices, the
TMS320C5514 and TMS320C5515, to the industry's lowest power 16-bit
digital signal processor (DSP) C5000 platform. In addition, to help
customers get started quickly, TI is announcing two evaluation
options including a full-featured TMDXEVM5515 evaluation module and
a new low cost TMDX5515EZDSP. These new low power TMS320C55x DSPs
provide a 20 percent performance increase, up to 120MHz, with
higher integration to ease system level development. This allows
customers to maintain very low power levels while adding features
such as additional encode and decode algorithms in voice, audio and
portable communications applications, as well as more real-time
diagnostics in medical end equipments. These devices also integrate
power management features, such as on-chip LDOs (low-dropout
regulators), as well as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, so
customers can maximize and efficiently manage battery life for
portable devices. For more information, visit
http://www.ti.com/c5515-prprod. C5514 DSP key features and
benefits: -- Three on-chip LDOs, one each for the DSP core, USB and
analog subsystems -- SDRAM and mobile SDRAM support for power
sensitive applications -- Highly-integrated peripherals - including
a high-speed USB 2.0, I2S, UART, SPI, MMC/SD and GPIOs - reduce
system cost and enable more user-friendly portable features -- Up
to 256 KB of on-chip memory saves both power and system cost by
reducing the need for external memory -- Dynamic voltage and
frequency scaling help to maximize battery life in portable
applications C5515 DSP key features and benefits (in addition to
C5514): -- C5515 builds on C5514 with an additional 64KB on-chip
memory (320KB total) -- Up to 1024-point programmable FFT hardware
accelerator -- Integrated LCD display controller and 10-bit
4-channel SAR ADC reduce system cost and enable more
user-interactive portable features -- Scalable and pin-to-pin
compatible with the C5514, provides customers with the flexibility
to choose the right device for their application with easy
migration options to build robust product families Pricing,
availability and tools The full-featured TMDXEVM5515 evaluation
module is compatible with the C5514 and C5515 low power DSPs and
comes ready with a complete software library and several
application demos. Additionally, building on TI's commitment to
offer easy, low-cost evaluation options, developers can also take
advantage of the new TMDX5515EZDSP. Priced at $79, this USB stick
requires no other components or cables for hassle-free development
and a simple out-of-the-box experience. This very low cost, yet
powerful development tool, integrates a number of capabilities
including on-board emulation for rapid creation of DSP
applications. Free samples are available now for the TMX320C5514
and TMX320C5515. Full production of the C5514 is priced at USD
$6.50 and the C5515 is priced at USD $7.65 both in 1,000 unit
quantities (1ku). To jumpstart development, developers can use the
TMDXEVM5515 DSP evaluation module, which is open for order-entry
today and priced at USD $395.00. Additionally, for a lower cost
evaluation alternative, the TMDX5515EZDSP is also open for
order-entry today and is priced at USD $79. With an extensive
portfolio of low power DSPs, starting from the lowest power DSPs
from the C5000 portfolio to the ultra-low power microcontrollers,
the lowest power floating point DSPs and power management solutions
in analog, TI continues to lead the market with innovative
energy-efficient technology across its entire portfolio. Find out
