description
The TMS320VC5420 fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) is a dual CPU device capable of up to 200-MIPS
performance. The ’5420 consists of two independent ’54x subsystems capable of core-to-core
communications.
Each subsystem CPU is based on an advanced, modified Harvard architecture that has one program memory
bus and three data memory buses. The processor also provides an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that has a high
degree of parallelism, application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory , and additional on-chip peripherals.
Each subsystem has separate program and data spaces, allowing simultaneous accesses to program
instructions and data. Two read operations and one write operation can be performed in one cycle. Instructions
with parallel store and application-specific instructions can fully utilize this architecture. Furthermore, data can
be transferred between program and data spaces. Such parallelism supports a powerful set of arithmetic, logic,
and bit manipulation operations that can be performed in a single machine cycle. In addition, the ’5420 includes
the control mechanisms to manage interrupts, repeated operations, and function calls.
The ’5420 is offered in two temperature ranges and individual part numbers as shown below . (Please note that
the industrial temperature device part numbers do not follow the typical numbering tradition.)
Commercial temperature devices (0°C to 85°C)
TMS320VC5420PGE200 (144-pin LQFP)
TMS320VC5420GGU200 (144-pin BGA)
Industrial temperature range devices (–40°C to 100°C)
TMS320C5420PGEA200 (144-pin LQFP)
TMS320C5420GGUA200 (144-pin BGA)
