Overview
The TMS320C6416TBCLZA7 is a high-performance fixed-point Digital Signal Processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments, part of the TMS320C64x™ DSP family. This device 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 and is particularly suited for wireless infrastructure applications. The C6416T features two high-performance embedded coprocessors: the Viterbi Decoder Coprocessor (VCP) and the Turbo Decoder Coprocessor (TCP), which significantly enhance channel-decoding operations.
