Hi,

I know some C64 chips having Viterbi decoder. Does all C64 have Viterbi decoder? Where and which doc has that info?

If some does not have Viterbi, what is the price difference between them?

 

Thanks

    No, not all C64x have Viterbi CoProcessor (VCP). If you stick to C64x, look at C6416, it has both Turbo decoder accelerator and VCP, though it is quite old device. Anyway, I suggest to look at http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/dsp/platform/c6000-high-performance/device.page. Please note, that enhanced version of the coprocessor exists, namely VCP2. This hardware also available in multicore devices http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/dsp/platform/c6000-multicore/device.page.

    In my company when we switched from C6414 to C6416 the price difference was like $190 versus $204.
