TMS320DM8168: S "video security" vs C "all others." What's the difference?

Hi Mark,

  This question has been asked in this post at https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors---internal/f/processors---internal-forum/1070694/tms320dm8168-differences-in-s-and-c-silicon-revisions.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.  However, the link that you gave doesn't work.  It leads me to "page not found."

Can you send a screenshot or something different?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Charles,

Thank you for your support on this.  As you suggested, I have reached out to all of your partners to try and get a clear answer.

Hello Charles,

I messaged the contacts that you gave me without luck.

Is there any person within TI that would know the difference between these processors?  If not, why?  Is this component going obsolete soon?

Thank you,

Mark

Hi Mark

Charles forwarded this message to me. We have very limited familiarity with the "S" variant, as this was created by a product group that no longer exists. 

From all that I can tell , this should work if you previously had an equivalent spec "C" variant , however we strongly recommend that you do a minimal checkout before building volume boards , we are not in a position to accept any liability nor provide any in-depth technical support.
