TMS320C6674: Selection of best TI DSP device for our application

Part Number: TMS320C6674
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, TMS320C6748, 66AK2G12, AM5728

I think our next step is to figure out which device or devices would work best for our VoIP design here. Here are some considerations:

  • We have been looking at the TMS320C6674. It should have the performance we need with 4 cores running at 1.0GHz. We have noted the DSP can use up to 8 functional units per clock cycle. It is nice to have the option for a 1.25GHz part should we need it.
  • Here are the interfaces that we need for the system design:
  • One Ethernet port that we can run at 100Mb/s and the related MDIO
  • Two pairs of 128 channel (8.192MHz) serial TDM buses
  • DDR memory interface
  • SPI
  • I2C
  • UART
  • Some GPIO pins
  • Debug facility

The TMS320C6674 has all of these, but it also has many more features and interfaces beyond this. What we are wondering is if there is a part with fewer features/interfaces that will meet our needs? Which DSPs should we be considering?
