TMS320C6748: About 600MHz C6748

Part Number: TMS320C6748
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642, AM5706, OMAPL138

Hi Champs,

IWR1642 has a 600MHz C674x DSP Core. Dose TI have a plan to release a 600MHz C6748? I think it would be a competitive device.

  • I've contacted the design team. Their feedback will be posted here.

  • Hi j-breeze
    Thank you for your inputs. You are right a 600 MHz device in the OMAP-L1x/c674x family may have been an interesting addition to its roadmap.

    The OMAPL1x/C674x max performance is 456 MHz - this was already a stretch goal for this design that we manage to achieve very successfully even though the original design was targeted at 300 MHz.

    Anything beyond that would have been a significant design and verification effort. Currently there are no plans to explore such an undertaking and no c674x at 600 MHz planned.

    We have higher performing devices in our c66x DSP family, like c6652 or AM5706 (A15+C66x) that are likely the next step up from where you see C6748 and OMAPL138 , assuming it meets the price, feature and power requirements for the applications you are interested in. c66x as your know is an upgrade to c674x and provides 100% dsp code compatibility.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hi Mukul,

    Thank you for your information. I wish a new device that has C66x + c674x peripherals because c6652 is expensive compared with c6748 and the peripherals are so different from c674x.
