Click for C5000 roadmap The TMS320C54x DSPs from Texas Instruments give designers an edge in today's wireless and wireline communications markets. This generation provides the right combination of ultra-low power dissipation, high performance, and cost effectiveness to meet the needs of a variety of terminal and infrastructure communications equipment. The two newest family members - the TMS320C5420 and the TMS320C5402 -- demonstrate these capabilities. Both the 'C5402 and the 'C5420 have the industry's lowest power rating (0.32mA/MIPS), with the 'C5420 offering 200 MIPS and the 'C5402 delivering the industry's lowest-cost solution at $5* per 100 MIPS. The 'C54x DSPs deliver the performance demanded by wireless communications applications like cellular phones, pagers, PCS terminals, as well as emerging applications like internet protocol (IP) phones and portable information appliances. In addition, the family's broad product lineup delivers from 40 to 200 MIPS performance, enabling the convergence of MIPS-intensive voice and data applications as well as extremely cost-effective single-channel applications. Lower system costs, more functionality The 'C54x generation provides a scalable solution from single-channel, low-cost applications to multi-channel implementations of algorithms like vocoders and echo cancellation. Delivering 40 to 200 MIPS performance with increased memory and peripheral integration, the 'C54x maximizes the number of channels that a particular system can offer, while maintaining or reducing board space. *50K quantities
