Overview
The TMS320C6415TBGLZW7 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 for multichannel and multifunction applications, offering exceptional performance and operational flexibility.
With a clock rate of up to 720 MHz, the TMS320C6415 achieves up to 5760 million instructions per second (MIPS), making it an excellent choice for high-performance DSP programming challenges. The device is fully software-compatible with the C62x family and is pin-compatible with the C6414 and C6416 devices.
