Texas Instruments announces the introduction of a new development platform and a new speed grade option for the TMS320C6457 digital signal processor (DSP). TI’s simplified development platform coupled with the TMS320C6457 - 850MHz device will allow customers in markets such as defense, networking, test, imaging and industrial to quickly ramp up their development efforts while providing design flexibility and upgrade ability to existing TMS320C6457 processors, all at highly competitive price points. The new 850MHz speed grade is priced at $67 for 1Ku volume while the new TMDSEVM6457L Evaluation Module (EVM) is $399. TI also provides a pin compatible upgrade path to affordably priced 1GHz and 1.2GHz versions of this device.

TI��s new TMDSEVM6457L is an easy-to-use, aggressively priced development tool which includes robust connectivity options such as a breakout card, allowing customers to individually connect certain peripherals to configure the EVM for their needs. The EVM also comes bundled with free software including a copy of TI’s industry leading Code Composer Studio (CCS v4.2) development environment, as well as other production and demonstration software components. By delivering these new low cost, easy-to-use tools and development hardware for high performance DSPs, TI is facilitating access to these devices to a wider range of developers in both existing and emerging applications.

“By offering high value, optimized development solutions at various levels of performance, we are addressing a wider range of developers’ requirements, providing them with tools not previously accessible due to cost and performance constraints,” said Sandeep Kumar, marketing manager of TI’s growth markets and medical business. “TI is listening to and addressing customer needs and developing flexible platforms with a variety of cost and feature options to ease their design processes.”
