SELF STUDY: TMS 6455
PERIPHERALS




The TMS320C64xx is Texas Instruments fastest (currently) fixed-point DSP family. It's part of
the TMS320C6x DSP family, which is in turn part of the TMS320 family.
It has 256-bit VLIW based on VelociTI instruction set dual bus Harvard architecture.
32-bit data word length
Clock speed ranging from 3001000 MHz
Code compatible with the older C6200 fixed-point family and with the C6700 floating point
family.
The C64xx CPU has two sets of functional units. Each set contains four units and a register
file of 32 32-bit registers. There is a cross path between the sets of functional units.
M - All multiplication operations also include bit-count, rotate, Galois field multiplies,
and bidirectional variable shift hardware.
L - Logic and arithmetic operations - 32/40-bit arithmetic and compare operations
and 32-bit logical operations
S - Logic and arithmetic operations - 32-bit arithmetic operations, 32/40-bit shifts
and 32-bit bit-field operations, 32-bit logical operations, Branches, Constant
generation and Register transfers to/from control register file (.S2 only)
D - Data addressing units - Address calculations, loads and stores, constant
generation and 32 logical operations
64 registers of 32-bit word length
Capable of up to four 16-bit MAC (multiplyaccumulates) per cycle or up to eight 8-bit MAC
per cycle.
