Cognitive radio solutions from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) have been released based on the company’s TMS320C66x DSP generation.
Cognitive radio, a collective term referring to Super Wi-Fi, Wi-Far, Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN), IEEE 802.11af, 802.22 and TV white spaces, is geared towards optimising the use of available spectrum and expanding global access to the Internet.
These processors are well suited for cognitive radio and consist of three fully pin compatible low-cost, power optimised solutions for developers migrating from single core to multicore.
The TMS320C6657 features two 1.25-GHz DSP cores, delivering up to 80 GMACs and 40 GFLOPs, while the C6655 and C6654 single core solutions deliver up to 40 GMACs and 20 GLOPs and 27.2 GMACs and 13.6 GFLOPs, respectively. Under normal operating conditions, the C6657, C6655 and C6654 power numbers are at 3.5W, 2.5W and 2W, respectively.
