Code-Compatible Generations  
The TMS320C5000 platform consists of two fully code-compatible device generations:  
 

¡Ý TMS320C54x : The C54x generation consists of over 17 code compatible devices. With a broad range of performance and peripheral options, low-power operation and innovative architecture and instruction set, the C54x generation gives designers effective ways of achieving high-performance, low-power operation and low system cost.

¡Ý TMS320C55x : The TMS320C55x generation contains the industrys most power-efficient DSPs and redefines the potential of applications ranging from portable Internet appliances to high-speed wireless communications. The rapidly-growing generation delivers ultra-low power performance through advanced power management techniques that automatically power down inactive peripherals, memory and core functional units increasing battery life for portable applications.

Based on the C55x DSP core, the OMAP Processors integrate a C55x DSP core with a TI-enhanced ARM925 on a single chip for the optimal combination of high performance with low power consumption. This unique architecture offers an attractive solution to both DSP and ARM developers, providing the low power real-time signal processing capabilities of a DSP coupled with the command and control functionality of an ARM.

  
 
   
C5000 Signal Processing Libraries and Peripheral Drivers  
To enable designers to dramatically reduce code development time and enable faster time-to-market, we have developed platform-specific libraries that can be downloaded at no cost. Sometimes referred to as TI's Foundation Software, these libraries contain a collection of high-level, optimized DSP function modules and help to achieve performance higher than standard ANSI C code. See Peripheral Drivers for the Chip Support Library; see Signal Processing Libraries for the DSP and Image Libraries.
