Multimedia Video Processor

The TMS320C80 is a single chip, MIMD parallel processor capable of performing over two billion operations per second. It consists of a 32-bit RISC master processor with a 120-MFLOP IEEE floating-point unit, four 32-bit parallel processing digital signal processors (DSPs), a transfer controller with up to 480M-byte/s off-chip transfer rate, and a Video controller. All the processors are coupled tightly through an on-chip crossbar that provides shared access to on-chip RAM. This performance and programmability make the 'C80 ideally suited for Video imaging, and high-speed telecommunications applications.
