Code-Compatible Generations  
With a broad portfolio of high-performance DSPs, the TMS320C6000 platform consists of three fully code-compatible device generations:  
 

¡Ý TMS320C64x : The C64x fixed-point DSPs offer the industry's highest level of performance to address the demands of the digital age. At clock rates of up to 1 GHz, C64x DSPs can process information at rates up to 8000 MIPS with costs as low as $19.95. In addition to a high clock rate, C64x DSPs can do more work each cycle with built-in extensions. These extensions include new instructions to accelerate performance in key application areas such as digital communications infrastructure and video and image processing.

¡Ý TMS320C62x : These first-generation fixed-point DSPs represent breakthrough technology that enables new equipments and energizes existing implementations for multi-channel, multi-function applications, such as wireless base stations, remote access servers (RAS), digital subscriber loop (xDSL) systems, personalized home security systems, advanced imaging/biometrics, industrial scanners, precision instrumentation and multi-channel telephony systems.

¡Ý TMS320C67x : For designers of high-precision applications, C67x floating-point DSPs offer the speed, precision, power savings and dynamic range to meet a wide variety of design needs. These dynamic DSPs are the ideal solution for demanding applications like audio, medical imaging, instrumentation and automotive.

 
 
   
C Compiler  
The C6000 DSP platform also offers a high-performance C engine with a compiler that leverages the architecture to sustain maximum performance while speeding design development time for high-performance applications. Our C compiler/optimization tools let you balance code size and performance to meet the needs of your application and is available for download at no cost.  
   
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. the Signal Processing and the Chip Support libraries contain a collection of high-level, optimized DSP function modules and help to achieve performance higher than standard ANSI C code.
