TMS320C6202GLS250

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The TMS320C6202GLS250 is a fixed-point digital signal processor from the TMS320C62x family, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates at a clock rate of 250 MHz with a 4-ns instruction cycle time, delivering 1600 MIPS performance. The device features the VelociTI VLIW architecture with eight independent functional units: six 32/40-bit ALUs and two 16-bit multipliers capable of producing 32-bit results. It includes 3 Mbits of on-chip SRAM (2 Mbits program/cache and 1 Mbit dual-access data) and a 32-bit external memory interface supporting SDRAM, SBSRAM, SRAM, and EPROM. The component is housed in a 384-pin GLS Ball Grid Array package.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• VelociTI VLIW C62x DSP core with eight highly independent functional units (six ALUs, two multipliers)
• 250 MHz clock speed providing 1600 MIPS execution capability
• 3 Mbits internal SRAM organized as 2 Mbits program/cache and 1 Mbits dual-access data
• Glueless 32-bit EMIF for synchronous and asynchronous memory interfaces
• Three Multichannel Buffered Serial Ports (McBSPs) and four-channel DMA controller

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Multichannel audio and video processing systems
• Wireless infrastructure base stations
• T1/E1 and MVIP framing applications
• Industrial control and motor drive systems

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature range. The GLS suffix indicates a 384-pin BGA package. Ensure compatibility with the required core voltage (1.8 V for C6202) and I/O voltage levels (3.3 V). Check for production status updates as this device may be discontinued or superseded by newer generations within the C6000 platform.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select the TMS320C6202GLS250 when a 250 MHz fixed-point DSP with 1600 MIPS performance is required. This model is suitable for designs needing 384-pin BGA packaging and pin compatibility with the C6204 GLW package. Consider the C6202B variant if a lower core voltage (1.5 V) or higher 300 MHz speed option is needed, noting that the C6202B uses a different process technology (0.15 μm vs 0.18 μm).

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the TMS320C62x generation of the TMS320C6000 DSP platform. It is pin-compatible with the TMS320C6203B and TMS320C6204 devices in their respective BGA packages, facilitating design migration. The C6202 specifically utilizes a 0.18-μm process technology with a 1.8-V core supply, distinguishing it from the C6202B/C6203B/C6204 which use 0.15-μm technology and 1.5-V cores.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

The TMS320C6202BGLS250 is a pin-compatible alternative with a 1.5-V core voltage and 0.15-μm process. The TMS320C6204GLW250 is also pin-compatible but offers different memory sizes and only two McBSPs. Verify voltage requirements and peripheral counts before substitution.
