Overview
The TMS320C6202BGNY250 is a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments, part of the TMS320C62x DSP generation within the TMS320C6000 DSP platform. This device is based on the high-performance, advanced VelociTI very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture, making it an excellent choice for multichannel and multifunction applications. The TMS320C6202B offers cost-effective solutions to high-performance DSP-programming challenges, with a performance capability of up to 2400 million instructions per second (MIPS) at 300 MHz.
The device features operational flexibility similar to high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array processors, with 32 general-purpose registers and eight highly independent functional units, including six arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and two 16-bit multipliers. It also includes application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory, and a diverse set of peripherals.
