Less than one year ago, Texas Instruments introduced a revolutionary new digital signal processor. With 2 billion operations per second performance, the TMS320C80, also known as the Multimedia Video Processor (MVP), is a cost-effective single-chip solution capable of replacing multiple processors in a system. "Interest in the industry's highest performance DSP continues to grow," said Julie Gallagher, 'C80 marketing manager. "This device is designed to enable numerous high-performance applications such as video and image processing, digital switches and document processing." "The number of inquiries we've received since the 'C80 introduction has been absolutely outstanding," said Rick Rinehart, 'C80 program manager. "Texas Instruments has major video conference design wins in Japan, North America and Europe."
Now entry into such high-growth emerging markets is affordable and easy. Texas Instruments has dramatically reduced the cost of getting started with DSP design by lowering the price of the 'C80 and its accompanying development tools.
