CST chip is based on TI's C5000 DSP platform and bundles 14 eXpressDSP algorithms compliant with ITU-T specifications.

The CST provides flexible modes of control and can optionally run software developed by the customer.

Lower power consumption and low-cost make CST chip a key choice when designing point-of-sale outlets, credit card and check verification systems, utility meters, security systems, industrial monitoring systems, payphones, appliance/gateways, building controls, and many others.

Available today, the CST developer's kit includes an evaluation board with the TMS320C54CST DSP and analogue DAA, external Flash, external SRAM, RS-232 serial interface and JTAG interface.
