This week, we announced four new devices that provide unmatched connectivity options and the ability to optimize a system for performance AND power. We’re also giving you DSP options (C674x) and an DSP+ARM option (OMAP-L138).
What’s exciting is that we’re simply giving you more flexibility – in the development options, design and execution. Imagine what you can do with a device packed with application-tuned features and peripherals for industrial, communications, audio and medical markets. How about cutting your system cost by 15% or lowering your CPU power consumption by 8X? What could you do with an application where you take the two main processors in the system and collapse all their features and functions into one processor solution, such as the OMAP-L138, to reduce cost and development time?
So, what’s unique about these new devices?
· Plethora of peripherals including SATA for high-capacity storage (a first for TI devices), an universal parallel port (uPP) for high-speed data transfer, Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 HS/1.1 PHYs, MMC/SD, video interface, LCD controller, and much more
· Fixed- AND floating-point capability in a single core (without power and cost penalties once associated with floating-point devices)
· Lowest-cost and lowest-power C6000 device (420mW total power and 7mW @1.0V standby power in use case scenarios) and industry’s lowest-power floating-point processor
· Optimize a system for performance & power through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
Want more? How about…
· $149 experimenter board based on the OMAP-L138 but used for development on all four devices
· OMAP-L138/C6748 EVM for more hardware, software and TI support
