TMS320DM8167SCYG4

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The TMS320DM8167SCYG4 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 formats. The device includes a System MMU, dual DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, PCIe 2.0, SATA, dual USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet MACs. Packaged in a 1031-pin FCBGA, it utilizes 40-nm CMOS technology with Via Channel design rules.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'G4' against the manufacturer's current ordering information to confirm the exact clock frequency configuration. Ensure PCB layout adheres to the Via Channel technology requirements for the 1031-pin FCBGA package to maintain signal integrity and minimize layer count.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this component when three independent HD video processing channels are required without the SGX530 graphics engine found in the DM8168 variant. Confirm that the 1 GHz DSP and 1.2 GHz ARM frequencies meet the real-time processing demands of the target application. Verify peripheral pin multiplexing compatibility with the system design.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This part 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 lacks the SGX530 3D graphics engine. It shares the same 1031-pin FCBGA package and general peripheral set as other devices in the series.
