Helping you Choose the Right Processor for your Application

As the DSP Internet Marketing Manager its my job to provide you with the easiest, most logical way to get the information that you are looking for.  To do this we rely on a variety of analytical tools to assess click paths, searches etc. but also try to take direct feedback on ways we need to improve.  Narrowing down processor options can be a time consuming task, particularly when you look at the TI portfolio.  We have received feedback that a simple clickable tool would help speed the process of narrowing down the choices.  As a result we recently introduced the Applications Processor and DSP Selection Tool and the MCU Selection Tool.

These tools let you quickly click on a variety of parameters such as memory, speed, peripherals, operating system, available codecs and more to pinpoint which processors you should evaluate to meet your design requirements.  Here's where I need your feedback; how are we doing?  What other parameters are needed - should we lead with end equipment, should software play a greater role, what about power consumption?  I dont expect this tool to be everything and a bag of chips when you use it but give me a shout about ways to improve it.  I'm off on holiday for a few days so mess around with it a bit and take your time before commenting.  Hopefully next time I'll be able to tell you about how we are working to incorporate your feedback.

Cheers,

Phillip

The MCU selection tool is good, the only problem is the Export to Spreadsheet function does not work; it connects to ims-projects.com and asks for login details (user name/password).

Good Day Derek, the export to spreadsheet function has been rectified. Thank you for reporting and do feel free to comment on any other issues and or recommendations in how to update the tool to serve you better.

I disappointed to see I can't use any of TI's selection tools anymore without flash.  I use many older systems in my work including linux and chose not to use flash.  In my work I use many TI processors and need to be able to select them.  Please provide an option for those of us that don't and won't use flash.

Mark,

You can still use our parametric search tools at any of our product pages, and you can also view our printed brochures  as pdf files whenever you like from any of the product pages.  We usually update these 4 times a year.

Sorry for the late response.

Would be helpful to ad a status: ACTIVE/PREVIEW and availability: stk/lead

(BUG in MCU Selector..?)

The filter for 'I2S' doesn't seem to work properly;

I pull up lots of Stellaris parts, turn it on/off,

and the same number of found parts remains.

Opening and searching a Stellaris data sheet

also says nothing about I2S or "sound."

Hello Phillip,

The LCD selector button fails to eliminate the non-LCD equipped parts. Please have that fixed.

Thaks,

Jack
