Overview
The TMS320C6414TBCLZ6 is a high-performance fixed-point Digital Signal Processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments, part of the TMS320C64x™ family. This DSP is based on the second-generation advanced VelociTI™ very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture, known as VelociTI.2™. It is designed to deliver exceptional performance, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications such as wireless infrastructure.
The C64x™ devices, including the TMS320C6414T, are code-compatible with the C62x™ family and offer a powerful set of peripherals and a two-level cache-based architecture. This architecture includes a 128-Kbit Level 1 program cache (L1P) and a 128-Kbit Level 1 data cache (L1D), along with an 8-Mbit Level 2 memory/cache (L2) that can be configured flexibly.
