The TMS320C672x is the next generation of Texas Instruments' C67x generation of high-performance 32-/64-bit floating-point digital signal processors. The TMS320C672x includes the TMS320C6727B, TMS320C6726B, TMS320C6722B, and TMS320C6720 devices.⁽¹⁾

Enhanced C67x+ CPU. The C67x+ CPU is an enhanced version of the C67x CPU used on the C671x DSPs. It is compatible with the C67x CPU but offers significant improvements in speed, code density, and floating-point performance per clock cycle. At 350 MHz, the CPU is capable of a maximum performance of 2800 MIPS/2100 MFLOPS by executing up to eight instructions (six of which are floating-point instructions) in parallel each cycle. The CPU natively supports 32-bit fixed-point, 32-bit single-precision floating-point, and 64-bit double-precision floating-point arithmetic.

Efficient Memory System. The memory controller maps the large on-chip 256K-byte RAM and 384K-byte ROM as unified program/data memory. Development is simplified since there is no fixed division between program and data memory size as on some other devices.

The memory controller supports single-cycle data accesses from the C67x+ CPU to the RAM and ROM. Up to three parallel accesses to the internal RAM and ROM from three of the following four sources are supported:

• Two 64-bit data accesses from the C67x+ CPU
• One 256-bit program fetch from the core and program cache
• One 32-bit data access from the peripheral system (either dMAX or UHPI)

The large (32K-byte) program cache translates to a high hit rate for most applications. This prevents most program/data access conflicts to the on-chip memory. It also enables effective program execution from an off-chip memory such as an SDRAM.
