TMS320DM8167SCYG2

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The TMS320DM8167SCYG2 is a DaVinci digital media processor featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core running up to 1.2 GHz and a C674x VLIW DSP core operating at 1 GHz. It integrates three HDVICP2 engines for video processing, supporting H.264, MPEG-2, VC-1, and MPEG-4 codecs. The device includes a System MMU, dual DDR2/DDR3 memory interfaces, PCIe 2.0, SATA, and dual USB 2.0 ports. Manufactured on 40-nm CMOS technology in a 1031-pin FCBGA package, it provides high-performance multimedia capabilities without the SGX530 graphics engine found in the DM8168 variant.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Dual-core architecture with ARM Cortex-A8 (up to 1.2 GHz) and C674x DSP (up to 1 GHz)
• Three programmable HDVICP2 engines for simultaneous 1080p60 encoding/decoding
• Integrated HDMI 1.3 transmitter and comprehensive connectivity including PCIe 2.0, SATA, and dual EMACs
• System MMU for secure memory access mapping between DSP/EDMA and system addresses

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Video encode, decode, transcode, and transrate systems
• Video security and surveillance infrastructure
• Video conferencing endpoints
• Media servers and digital signage displays

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'S' against Table 10-1 of the datasheet to confirm the exact ARM and DSP clock frequencies. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required performance tier within the DM8167 family.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model over the DM8168 if 3D graphics acceleration via the SGX530 engine is not required. Confirm that the three HDVICP2 engines meet the throughput requirements for the target video resolution and codec complexity.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the TMS320DM816x family of DaVinci processors. It shares the same package and peripheral set as the DM8168 but lacks the SGX530 3D graphics engine. It offers more video processing power than the DM8165, which only supports two HDVICP2 engines.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

TMS320DM8168CCYG2: Compatible hardware with added SGX530 graphics engine; verify software does not rely on unavailable GPU features.
