'C54x features & benefits

TMS320C542 DSP (40 MIPS)
  • High-performance, very efficient architecture requires fewer MIPS than competing DSPs to implement most algorithms.
Code Explorer debugger
  • An easy-to-use, true Windows based interface.
  • Supports symbolic debugging, breakpoints, graphical animation, variable watch windows, file input/output (I/O), algebraic/mnemonic disassembly, and on-line help.
TLC320AC01 analog interface circuit (AIC)
  • Low power dissipation. 14-bit linear resolution.
  • Programmable sampling rates, programmable anti-aliasing filter, programmable input gain.
  • Selectable auxiliary input.
  • Data read-back capability.
Universal power supply and cable
  • Eliminate the need to change adapters for different voltages worldwide.
  • Ideal for powering daughter cards.
  • Filtered and regulated and no need for on-board voltage regulation.
Algebraic assembler
  • Bypasses learning new DSP mnemonic instruction set specifics.
  • Makes coding easier and more straightforward.
  • Easy one-step assembly and linking process.
  • Full featured code expression analysis for easier coding.
Symbolic debugging
  • Enables easy programmability by using labels for referencing constants, variables, matrices by name.
Socketed programmable array logic (PAL®)
  • Allows experienced designers to re-program PAL and change the way the host port interface works on the 'C54x DSKplus.
