Product details
Overview
TMS320C6204GHKA200 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) built on the VelociTI™ VLIW architecture, delivering 1600 MIPS at 200 MHz with 5-ns instruction cycle time. It integrates 1M-bit on-chip SRAM (512K-bit program/cache + 512K-bit dual-access data), a 32-bit external memory interface (EMIF), two McBSPs, and a flexible PLL clock generator - deployed in multichannel telecom infrastructure and real-time audio processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320C6204GHKA200 datasheet, TMS320C6204GHKA200 pinout, TMS320C6204GHKA200 application, or TMS320C6204GHKA200 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 288-pin GHK BGA package, 1.5-V core / 3.3-V I/O supply, VelociTI™ eight-functional-unit execution engine, and glueless SDRAM/SDRAM/SBSRAM interface capability.
Technical Context
The TMS320C6204GHKA200 implements a dual-path VelociTI™ VLIW CPU with two register files (A/B, 32 × 32-bit registers total) and eight independent functional units: six ALUs (32-/40-bit) and two 16-bit multipliers yielding 32-bit results. Its load-store architecture enables parallel data movement via dedicated .D1/.D2 addressing units, with all instructions conditional and byte-addressable (8-/16-/32-bit data).
It features a 32-bit EMIF supporting synchronous (SDRAM, SBSRAM) and asynchronous (SRAM, EPROM) memories across 52M-byte address space, plus a 32-bit expansion bus (XB) with master/slave functionality for PCI bridge and microprocessor bus interfacing. The device includes IEEE-1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support and power-down mode logic for low-power operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS320C6202GLS | 384-pin GLS BGA, 200/250 MHz, 1.8-V core, 256K-byte program RAM, 128K-byte data RAM, three McBSPs | Higher memory capacity and third McBSP support more complex multi-protocol systems; incompatible GHK pinout | Select when needing >64K program memory or triple serial interface; requires PCB redesign due to larger package and different ball map |
| TMS320C6203GLS | 384-pin GLS BGA, 250/300 MHz, 1.2/1.5-V core, 384K-byte program RAM, 512K-byte data RAM, three McBSPs | Higher clock rates and memory bandwidth suit compute-intensive radar or video preprocessing; not pin-compatible with GHK | Choose for higher throughput where 300-MHz operation justifies increased power and thermal management complexity |
Compared with TMS320C6204GHKA200, the C6202GLS offers greater on-chip memory and an extra McBSP but demands a larger PCB footprint and different power delivery, while the C6203GLS delivers higher performance at the cost of stricter voltage regulation and thermal design - neither is drop-in replaceable due to package and pinout mismatch.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the TMS320C6204GHKA200?
The TMS320C6204GHKA200 operates at a guaranteed maximum clock rate of 200 MHz, corresponding to a 5-ns instruction cycle time. This frequency is validated under recommended operating conditions (1.5-V core, 3.3-V I/O, case temperature ≤105°C) per TI SPRS152C revision March 2004. The device does not support overclocking beyond this rated speed.
Does the TMS320C6204GHKA200 support SDRAM interfacing without external logic?
Yes, the TMS320C6204GHKA200 includes a glueless 32-bit external memory interface (EMIF) with dedicated SDRAM control and timing registers (SDCTL, SDTIM). It directly drives standard SDRAM chips with programmable row/column addressing, refresh intervals, and burst lengths - no FPGA or ASIC glue logic required for basic SDRAM integration.
How many serial ports does the TMS320C6204GHKA200 integrate?
The TMS320C6204GHKA200 integrates two multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSP0 and McBSP1). Each supports up to 256 channels, AC97, SPI, T1/E1 framing, and ST-Bus switching. Unlike the C6202/C6203 variants, the TMS320C6204GHKA200 does not include a third McBSP - this is a documented architectural difference per TI device comparison tables.
What package type is used for the TMS320C6204GHKA200?
The TMS320C6204GHKA200 uses the 288-pin MicroStar BGA (GHK) package, measuring 16 × 16 mm with 0.8-mm ball pitch. This is distinct from the 340-pin GLW and 384-pin GLS packages used by other C62x family members - the GHK variant is specifically designated for the C6204-200 speed grade and has a unique ball map optimized for thermal and signal integrity in compact layouts.
Can the TMS320C6204GHKA200 execute both multiply-accumulate (MAC) and arithmetic operations in parallel?
Yes, the TMS320C6204GHKA200's VelociTI™ architecture enables true parallelism: its two dedicated 16-bit multipliers (.M1/.M2) can each perform a 16×16→32-bit MAC per cycle, while six ALUs (.L1/.S1/.D1/.L2/.S2/.D2) simultaneously execute arithmetic, logical, and data-movement operations. This yields up to 400 MMACS and 1600 MIPS concurrently - confirmed in TI's CPU description and performance characterization sections.
