Overview
The TMS320C6414TBZLZ6 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 VelociTI very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture, known as VelociTI.2. It is designed to offer exceptional performance and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for multichannel and multifunction applications, particularly in wireless infrastructure and other high-demand signal processing environments.
The C64x devices are code-compatible with the C62x family and offer a range of clock rates, including 600 MHz, 720 MHz, and up to 1 GHz. This ensures high-performance capabilities with up to 5760 million instructions per second (MIPS) and 2880 million multiply-accumulates per second (MMACS).
