Data buffer has dual multiplexer
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first 0- to 4-Gbps data buffer/signal conditioner with a dual multiplexer.
Communications and control systems, planetary landers and rovers, sample collectors and many other advanced signal processing applications require space-level component technologies.
With the release of the SMV320C6701 DSP with Class V processing, TI is meeting the demand for semiconductors that provide greater performance, lower power and higher integration levels, while operating in the extreme environment of space.
The SMV320C6701 has: demonstrated total ionising radiation dose tolerance to 100 krad(Si); a 7 ns instruction cycle time; 140MHz clock rate; eight 32bit instructions/cycle; up to 840MFLOPS performance; pin-compatibility with SMJ320C6701 floating-point DSP, ceramic ball grid array package; and an extended operating temperature range from -55 to +115C.
The SMV320C6701, order as 5962-9866101VXA, comes in a ceramic ball grid array package and is available now for ordering from TI and its authorised distributors.
Suggested resale pricing in 10-piece quantities is $4000.
