Reduced Total System Cost
TI's DSPs are driving system costs down with high levels of peripheral integration and powerful computational abilities that eliminate the need for expensive sensors. Migration from multi-chip implementations to highly integrated single-chip solutions is an important source of this cost reduction.

Reduced DSP prices are another way TI is lowering the overall system costs for our customers. By constantly incorporating leading-edge technology into our products, TI is able to provide more power for less cost. Some of our devices are available for under US$5.00 in large quantities.

Increased System Performance
Designers can simultaneously reduce total system cost and increase performance by utilizing DSP technology in their digital-control applications. The dynamic model of a motor is a complex set of non-linear equations. DSPs have the computational bandwidth to manage, control, and adapt such a model in real-time, providing better dynamic performance for both transient and steady-state control.

Moreover, a DSP solution allows the use of advanced motor types, such as switched-reluctance motors that offer inherent advantages, including highest speed and torque per current,, robustness, and lowest manufacturing cost. Computationally superior DSPs even negate the traditional disadvantages of switched-reluctance motors, including high-torque ripple.
