DSP Boards Aim At Vertical Applications

Three DSP boards, each of which is based on Texas Instruments' C6000 DSPs, are tuned to meet the requirements of specific vertical market applications. The VME/C6450 is targeted at multiprocessor applications found in defense and high-end image processing. The VME/C6320 offers scalability and high-bandwidth data throughput that's essential in wireless communication and surveillance applications. And for channelized wireline communication applications, the cost-effective VME/C6400 is available.The family's flagship, the VME/C6450, provides up to 4 GFLOPS and 6400 MIPS from four TMS320C6000 DSPs, combining the interprocessor bandwidth and flexibility demanded by array-processing applications such as radar and sonar. A multiport crossbar switch gives up to four concurrent links that results in a maximum simultaneous transfer rate of over 1 GB/s.
