Product details
Overview
SM320C6727BHFHM from Texas Instruments is a radiation-tolerant, military-grade floating-point digital signal processor (DSP) with 250-MHz C67x+ CPU core, 256KB on-chip RAM, 384KB ROM, and three multichannel audio serial ports (McASP). It operates across –55°C to 125°C case temperature and targets high-reliability audio processing in aerospace, defense, and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the SM320C6727BHFHM datasheet, SM320C6727BHFHM pinout, SM320C6727BHFHM application, or SM320C6727BHFHM equivalent, key selection considerations include its 256-pin ceramic QFP package, deterministic dMAX DMA architecture, dual-clock-domain PLL (SYSCLK1/SYSCLK2/SYSCLK3), and UHPI interface - all validated for extended-temperature, real-time audio and signal conditioning tasks.
Technical Context
The SM320C6727BHFHM implements a dual-data-path C67x+ VLIW CPU with 64 general-purpose 32-bit registers, native IEEE 32-/64-bit floating-point execution, and new audio-optimized instructions (MPYSPDP, ADDSP, SUBDP). Its memory subsystem supports concurrent 64-bit CPU data reads, 256-bit program fetches, and 32-bit peripheral accesses via a deterministic priority-based crossbar switch.
Three McASP modules support up to 16 stereo I²S/TDM channels with DIT capability on McASP2; two SPI ports (3-/4-/5-pin modes), two I²C ports, and a 133-MHz EMIF with SDRAM/NOR/NAND flash support are integrated. The dMAX controller enables concurrent 1D/2D/3D memory-to-peripheral transfers with circular buffer delay-tap management and FIFO status interrupts (INT7/INT8).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | C67x+ VLIW DSP core, 250 MHz @ 1.2 V, 4 ns cycle time - delivers deterministic real-time audio compute with 64 GP registers and dual data paths. |
| On-Chip Memory | 256 KB unified RAM + 384 KB unified ROM - eliminates fixed program/data partitioning, simplifies code porting and boot flow. |
| Program Cache | 32 KB direct-mapped cache with 256-bit bus - enables single-cycle hit latency and 2-cycle miss penalty to internal memory. |
| EMIF Support | 133-MHz SDRAM (x16/x32, 1–4 banks), 8/16/32-bit NOR SRAM, 8/16-bit NAND with hardware ECC - enables flexible off-chip storage and boot options. |

Pinout & Package
SM320C6727BHFHM uses a 256-pin ceramic quad flatpack (CQFP) with 0.5-mm pitch and 36 mm × 36 mm body size. Pin assignments follow TI's standardized C6000 pinout layout per SPRS861 Section 2.9, supporting full peripheral multiplexing control via device configuration registers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN / OSCIN | Oscillator input | Accepts 12–25 MHz crystal or external clock; feeds PLL for SYSCLK1 (CPU/memory), SYSCLK2 (peripherals/dMAX), SYSCLK3 (EMIF). |
| EMIF_A[0:22] | Asynchronous address bus | 23-bit non-multiplexed address lines for NOR/SRAM boot and NAND addressing; upper bits configurable via GPIO. |
| EMIF_D[0:15] | 16-bit data bus | Primary EMIF data path for SDRAM, NOR, and NAND; supports 133-MHz SDRAM burst reads/writes and NAND ECC calculation. |

| UHPI_DATA[0:31] | Universal Host-Port Interface data bus | 32-bit parallel host interface for secure, high-speed memory access; supports non-multiplexed mode with page-restricted access. |
| dMAX_EVT[0:7] | dMAX event inputs | Eight dedicated event trigger lines for peripheral synchronization (e.g., McASP frame sync, RTI capture) - enables zero-CPU-overhead DMA initiation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| C67x+ CPU enhancements | Doubles register count (64 GP registers), adds MPYSPDP/ADDDP/SUBDP instructions, and improves floating-point throughput per cycle for audio FIR/FFT. |
| High-performance crossbar | Five bus masters (CPU, dMAX Hi/Lo, UHPI, PMP) arbitrate over five target groups with fixed-priority (dMAX > UHPI > CPU) - ensures deterministic I/O timing. |
| dMAX accelerator | Supports concurrent 2-transfer requests, 3D memory moves, circular buffer delay taps, and FIFO status interrupts (INT7/INT8) - offloads CPU from real-time audio buffering. |
| McASP DIT mode | McASP2 provides full 384-bit channel status/user data memory and AES3-compatible transmission - enables professional digital audio interfacing without external transceivers. |
| UHPI security mode | Restricts host access to a single 64-KB memory page; page base address set only by CPU - prevents unauthorized host access to sensitive firmware or buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar floating-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS320C6748 | Lower temperature grade (–40°C to 105°C), ARM9 + C674x dual-core, 32KB L1P/L1D caches, no UHPI or DIT mode. | Targets commercial industrial gateways; lacks radiation tolerance and military temp range. | Select when cost-sensitive, Linux-capable, and extended temperature not required. |
| SM320C6701-EP | Legacy C67x core (200 MHz), 64KB RAM/128KB ROM, no dMAX, no McASP DIT, 208-pin CQFP. | Suitable for legacy radar upgrades but lacks audio-specific instructions and McASP flexibility. | Select only for drop-in replacement in existing C6701-based designs with minimal feature expansion. |
Compared with SM320C6727BHFHM, the TMS320C6748 offers Linux OS support but sacrifices military temperature range and deterministic audio I/O; the SM320C6701-EP retains compatibility with older toolchains but lacks the 250-MHz performance, dMAX acceleration, and McASP2 DIT needed for modern professional audio systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SM320C6727BHFHM?
The SM320C6727BHFHM is rated for –55°C to +125°C case temperature, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class K requirements for high-reliability military and space applications. This specification is validated per TI SPRS861 Section 4.3 and confirmed in production test data for the HFH ceramic package.
Does the SM320C6727BHFHM support pin-compatible migration from earlier C67x devices?
The SM320C6727BHFHM is code-compatible with C67x CPUs (e.g., TMS320C6713) but not pin-compatible due to its 256-pin CQFP (HFH) footprint versus 208-pin packages used by predecessors. Peripheral pin multiplexing differs significantly, requiring PCB redesign per TI SPRS861 Section 2.9.
How does the dMAX module in the SM320C6727BHFHM improve real-time audio performance?
The dMAX module in the SM320C6727BHFHM handles memory-to-peripheral transfers independently of the CPU, supporting concurrent 2-request processing, 3D data moves, and circular buffer delay taps. This reduces CPU load by >40% during multi-channel I²S streaming, as measured in TI application report SPRABV8.
Can the SM320C6727BHFHM boot directly from NAND flash?
Yes - the SM320C6727BHFHM EMIF supports 8- or 16-bit NAND flash with integrated hardware ECC for single-bit error correction on 512-byte blocks. Boot mode configuration uses GPIO-controlled strap pins per TI SPRS861 Section 2.8, enabling reliable field-upgradable firmware storage.
What distinguishes the McASP2 port on the SM320C6727BHFHM from McASP0 and McASP1?
McASP2 on the SM320C6727BHFHM uniquely supports Digital Interface Transmitter (DIT) mode with full 384-bit channel status and user data memory, enabling AES3-compliant professional audio output without external transceivers - a capability not present on McASP0 or McASP1 per TI SPRS861 Section 4.13.
