With a performance of up to 1600 million instructions per second (MIPS) and
an efficient C compiler, the TMS320C6x DSPs give system architects unlimit-
ed possibilities to differentiate their products. High performance, ease of use,
and affordable pricing make the TMS320C6x generation the ideal solution for
multichannel, multifunction applications, such as:
Pooled modems
Wireless local loop base stations
Beam-forming base stations
Remote access servers (RAS)
Digital subscriber loop (DSL) systems
Cable modems
Multichannel telephony systems
Virtual reality 3-D graphics
Speech recognition
Audio
Radar
Atmospheric modeling
Finite element analysis
Imaging (examples: fingerprint recognition, ultrasound, and MRI)
The TMS320C6x generation is also an ideal solution for exciting new applica-
tions; for example:
Personalized home security with face and hand/fingerprint recognition
Advanced cruise control with global positioning systems (GPS) navigation
and accident avoidance
Remote medical diagnostics
