TI's latest DSP is further evidence of the breadth of applications that realise an immediate performance gain from Serial RapidIO devices.
The RapidIO Trade Association (RTA) has cited Texas Instruments' launch of the TMS320C6455 (C6455 ) digital signal processor (DSP) as further evidence of the breadth of applications including telecommunications, network and video infrastructure end-equipments and high-end imaging systems that realise an immediate performance gain from Serial RapidIO devices.
"Texas Instruments typifies the high caliber of the RapidIO ecosystem, a group of leading device, system and software manufacturers dedicated to making a tangible investment in delivering RapidIO-based products to market", said Iain Scott, Executive Director of the RapidIO Trade Association.
"Their introduction of the C6455 DSP, one of a host of new RapidIO-based products slated for 2005, exemplifies the performance, reliability and flexibility delivered by RapidIO solutions for embedded applications".
The C6455 DSP, offers improved performance, reduced code size plus more on-chip memory and high bandwidth integrated peripherals.Its integrated industry-standard Serial RapidIO bus reduces overall system cost by reducing the need for additional devices used for switching and processor aggregation.
The Serial RapidIO interconnect enables high-speed packet-switched peer-to-peer connectivity.Serial RapidIO thus makes it much easier to implement multiprocessing, providing a performance breakthrough for multichannel implementations on multiple processors.For video infrastructure applications, a 1x Serial RapidIO link is fast enough to send high-definition (HD) 1080i raw video between devices and a 4x Serial RapidIO link can easily send HD 1080p raw video between devices with bandwidth to spare.The use of Serial RapidIO in infrastructure applications with large "DSP farms" will allow the reduction of system cost (device count, board size and/or device cost) for OEM customers.
