Hi,all
   I hope to know the order that different DSP chips are introduced
to market. I search the internet, but don't find related information.
Can anyone tell me where I can find it?

Best Regards

    Not sure exactly what you are looking for.  TI has many families of DSP parts and I probrably could not name all of them, but with reference to our DaVinci line (since you are posting if this section of our forums), I believe they were introduced in the following order

       DM644x, DM643x, DM6467, DM64x, DM355, DM357, DM335, DM365..

    When I read the documents about PSP, I learn that PSP only exists on recent chips.
    So maybe release time of each C6000 chip will be helpful. In my opinion,
    since the C6000 is introduced, the architecture have been modified and a number of chips
    have been released to meet requirements in different applications. The time line of introduction
    of new architectures and new chips can help me to understand technical advancements and application evolution.

    From a mass-market perspective (not including vertical markets), prior to DM6446 (released in Q106) TI processor portfolio consisted of MCUs and DSPs.  Since the launch of our DaVinci line starting with DM6446, our DSP business has expanded to include a combination of ARM only, ARM + DSP, and DSP only parts (MCU portfolio aside).  The inclusion of the ARM core required us to rethink our software strategy and provide a software framework which allows for easy integration of ARM + DSP products; we did not need this when we offered DSP only parts.  Therefore, the launch of DM6446 was an inflection point which brought about a new software architecture.  From a hardware perspective, the DPS hardware architecture has not undergone major changes (some parts such as OMAP-L1, a little more than most).  Going back to software, with the launch of DM6446 we also launched a new software architecture which from an application user point of view, it uses same APIs to program and access data processong algorithms regardless of where they reside (ARM, DSP, a hardware accelerator....).  In conclusion, DM6446 (1Q06) marked a shift in both software and hardware (inclusion of ARM core) strategy; however DSP hardware architecture has remained fairly constant.  Let me know if this helps clear things up.

    By the way, we offer a lot more than just DSP + ARM combination of parts... we have an extensive MCU and Analog parts portfolio to help you design your product.
