Higher performance PIccolo

Ari Mendes dos Santos

Anyone know if Texas still has plans for a higher performance fixed point Piccolo? 

 I think that the PIccolo to not become NRND need at least 100 MHZ, more SRAM and less power consumption?

    Ari,

    The F2806x family is 90 MHz today and has 100 KB SRAM.  It also has the CLA coprocessor that provides another 90 MIPS of computing horsepower, so total MIPS is 180.  Both the CPU and CLA are IEEE floating pt. capable.

    Is 100 KB RAM insufficient for your application?

    The Piccolo family has an active roadmap, but this is not publically available information.

    Regards,

    David

    F2806X is very good when chip cost, power consumption and space are not a concern. 

    I am willing for a Piccolo with 64 pins, at least 100 MHZ and with the same low power 65nm flash technology of TIVA and Concerto.

    Can you at least tell that Texas are working in something like that?

    Ari,

    Ahhhh, so you are looking for low-cost, high-performance, high memory, and low-power!  Easy, right?  :)

    Look, all I can say is that C2000 Piccolo has a roadmap that TI is presently executing on.  You'll have to wait for public disclosure.  I really cannot say anything more on internal plans beyond this.  Sorry.

    Regards,
