ABSTRACT

Southern University is upgrading its Digital Signal Processing Laboratory with Texas Instruments

TMS320C6713 (C6713) Digital Signal Processor Starter Kits (DSKs). The TMS320C6000 Digital

Signal Processor (DSP) series is Texas Instrument's most powerful DSP processor. The C6713 is the

latest in this series. A number of wide bandwidth analog expansion daughter boards are also being

installed as part of this laboratory upgrade. During the 1980's, with the continuous increasing

speed of digital computers, it became apparent that digital signal processing would become a

viable alternative to analog signal processing. In recognizing this trend, digital signal processing

lecture and laboratory courses were introduced into the Electrical Engineering curriculum at

Southern University during the early 1990's. Both Motorola and Texas Instruments digital signal

processors have been used in the laboratory. The DSP boards have included an analog to digital

converter to digitize the signal and a digital to analog converter to change the signal back to the

analog form after processing. Digital signal processors are special purpose microprocessors with

architecture and instruction set especially designed for real-time signal processing. The TI

C6713 DSK is a stand alone development system having all necessary parts to perform

experiments. The kit includes a floating-point digital signal processor and a 32-bit stereo codec

TLV320AIC23 (AIC23) with variable sampling rates from 8 kHz to 96 kHz for A/D and D/A

conversion. The architecture of the C6713 includes 264KB of internal memory, eight functional

or execution units composed of six ALUs and two multiplier units, a 32-bit address bus to

address 4GB (gigabytes) of memory, and two sets of 32-bit general-purpose registers. Various

types of filters being studied in the lecture are designed and tested with this equipment. The TI

Code Composer is included for software development using the C language. However, additional

support software can be very helpful in getting started with laboratory work. The information

presented in this paper will provide a jump start for those who purchase this equipment.

We have upgraded our laboratory with twenty of the C6713 DSKs. TI has a very viable University Relations Program and is aggressively promoting the C6713 DSK.
Page 3 Start Installation Guide. Use the director c:\C6713 when installing the software rather than the default director c:\ti if you wish to be able to use the exact instructions given later for locating and loading files. An icon for Code Composer should be created on the desktop. You can either connect headphones to the headphone output jack or speakers to the line output jack or both headphones and speakers can be connected.
Page 4 Code Composer Studio Getting Started Guide, Manual number SPRU509. It is in the document directory of CCS (and also found at the TI website). However, if you want to get started as quickly as possible, you can take advantage of the experiences of others who have used the DSK.
Page 5 The TI C6713 can perform two such operations in one cycle (having parallel computing capability). This particular example performs the dot product of two matrices, multiplying a row matrix, x, by a column matrix, y, resulting in a scalar.

Page 7 TMS320C6x is the designation for all TI DSPs in the TMS320C6000 series. With the C6713 having been introduced less than two years ago, there is a limit amount of documentation that provides step by step instructions for implementing experiments with the TMS320C6713 DSK.
