DM3730CBP

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The DM3730CBP100 is a digital media processor from the Texas Instruments DaVinci series, featuring a dual-core architecture. It integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 core operating up to 1 GHz and a TMS320C64x+ DSP core running at 800 MHz. The device utilizes a 515-pin sPBGA package and supports fixed-point processing with 6400 MMACS performance. Key memory resources include 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches for the ARM core, alongside 32 kB/80 kB L1 caches for the DSP. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C with a core voltage of 1.14 V.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., CBP100 vs. CUS100) against the required clock speed and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for assembly processes. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and thermal specifications defined in the official datasheet.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this component when both high-level OS execution via ARM Cortex-A8 and real-time signal processing via C64x+ are required. Compare L2 cache sizes and peripheral availability against similar DaVinci models like the OMAP3530 if specific interface counts differ. Verify that the 515-pin BGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints.
