Changing wireless landscape explained
TI will showcase the latest mobile products that enable its customers to innovate in a world driven by demand for on-the-go entertainment and productivity at CTIA Wireless 2006
'TI is committed to developing and delivering the highest-performing DSPs while also focusing on lowering our customers' development costs', said Yvonne Cager, TMS320C6000 Platform Marketing Manger, TI.
'We're enabling our customers to deliver the best performing products with faster time to market'.
With the new C6411 DSP, TI is expanding the reach of the C64x DSP generation, addressing the lower-power, lower-cost performance-efficient application spaces.
With a 250mW, 1.0V core, the C6411 DSP is the lowest power C64x DSP on the market, while still delivering 300MHz/2400MIPs/1200MMACS of performance.
It is also the lowest cost C64x DSP, with planned production pricing of $39/unit in 10k-unit quantities.

The BlueLink 6.0 platform combines the industry's best performance Bluetooth wireless technology with high fidelity FM stereo and mono performance on a single chip
The feature set of the C6411 DSP is ideal for programmable, networked security appliances such as iris scanners.
The device is code-compatible with all 20 DSPs in the C6000 DSP platform, giving designers confidence in a proven technology that has successfully driven thousands of products.
Three other family members have also entered full production.
Since their introduction, the C6414, C6415 and C6416 have gained broad market acceptance.
The C6416 DSP allows wireless infrastructure developers to meet the demanding challenges of third-generation services by providing two high-performance embedded coprocessors, significantly speeding up voice and data channel-decoding operations on-chip.
A single 600MHz C6416 DSP can process up to 350 voice channels at 12.2Kbit/s and 35 data channels at data rates up to 384Kbit/s, respectively.
'The recent addition of TI's C64x technology to our product offerings will allow us to further advance our development of high performance, scalable multiprocessing solutions', said Sean Howe, VP, Marketing and General Manager, Wireless Systems, Spectrum Signal Processing.
'In particular, by leveraging the C6416 which is geared to wireless infrastructure solutions, we are building real world solutions that help designers speed time to market and reduce risk'.
The C6415 DSP provides developers of media gateways and advanced imaging applications with the performance and interfaces required to handle multichannel MPEG-4 video.
The C6415 DSP can perform one channel of MPEG-4 video encoding, one channel of MPEG-4 video decoding, and one channel of MPEG-2 video decoding, and still have 50% headroom remaining for multichannel voice and data coding.
The C6414 DSP offers cost-effective solutions with up to 600MHz of performance.
Designed for systems that require a general purpose, programmable DSP, the C6414 DSP's 64-channel enhanced direct memory access (EDMA) controller delivers unmatched I/O efficiency that manages data transfer from system memory at gigabytes per second.
The C6414 pricing begins at $89, the C6415 at $98 and the C6416 at $108 in 10k-unit quantities.
These C64x devices are pin compatible, packaged in 532-lead BGA packages and are available today.
