TMS320DM8167BCYG2

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The TMS320DM8167BCYG2 is a DaVinci Digital Media Processor featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 RISC processor and a C674x VLIW DSP. The ARM core operates up to 930 MHz, while the DSP reaches 750 MHz. It includes three HDVICP2 engines for video processing and lacks the SGX530 graphics engine found in the DM8168. The device integrates an HDVPSS with dual capture and display channels, HDMI transmitter, PCIe 2.0, SATA, dual USB 2.0, and dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs. It utilizes a 1031-pin FCBGA package.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Three High-Definition Video Image Coprocessors (HDVICP2)
• Integrated HDMI 1.3 Transmitter and HDVPSS

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Video encode, decode, transcode, and transrate
• Video security systems
• Video conferencing endpoints
• Digital signage players

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'B' against Table 10-1 of the datasheet to confirm the exact ARM and DSP clock frequencies. Ensure the CYG2 package variant matches the required PCB footprint and thermal specifications for the target design.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model over the DM8168 if 3D graphics acceleration via SGX530 is not required. Confirm that the 930 MHz ARM and 750 MHz DSP performance levels meet the application's throughput requirements compared to higher-speed variants.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the TMS320DM816x family, which also includes the DM8168 and DM8165. The DM8167 is distinguished by having three HDVICP2 engines like the DM8168 but excludes the SGX530 3D graphics engine present in the DM8168.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

TMS320DM8168CCYG2: Pin-compatible but includes SGX530 graphics engine; verify software compatibility.
