Product details
Overview
TMS320C6204ZHK200 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 EMIF supporting SDRAM/SBSRAM, two McBSPs, four-channel DMA, and a flexible PLL clock generator - deployed in multichannel telecom infrastructure and real-time audio processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320C6204ZHK200 datasheet, TMS320C6204ZHK200 pinout, TMS320C6204ZHK200 application, or TMS320C6204ZHK200 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 288-pin GHK BGA package, 1.5-V core / 3.3-V I/O supply scheme, VelociTI™ eight-functional-unit execution engine, and glueless interface capability to PCI bridges and synchronous FIFOs.
Technical Context
The TMS320C6204ZHK200 implements a dual-path VelociTI™ CPU with two register files (A/B, 16×32-bit each) and eight functional units: six ALUs (32-/40-bit) and two 16-bit multipliers yielding 32-bit results. Its load-store architecture enforces register-based computation, with all instructions conditional and packed into variable-length execute packets derived from 256-bit fetch packets.
Memory subsystem includes two independent 32K-byte data RAM blocks for concurrent access and a 64K-byte program RAM configurable as cache or memory-mapped space. The 32-bit EMIF supports up to 52M-byte external address space with native timing for SDRAM, SBSRAM, SRAM, and EPROM - while the expansion bus (XB) provides master/slave host-port functionality compatible with TI PCI2040 and Motorola 683xx buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Clock Rate | 200 MHz - enables deterministic 5-ns instruction cycle timing for hard real-time DSP kernels. |
| Performance | 1600 MIPS - achieved via eight parallel 32-bit instructions per cycle, supporting high-throughput multichannel filtering. |
| On-Chip Memory | 1M-bit total SRAM (512K-bit program + 512K-bit dual-access data) - eliminates external program memory in many embedded designs. |
| EMIF Width | 32-bit - provides glueless interface to SDRAM/SBSRAM and asynchronous memories, simplifying memory subsystem design. |
| McBSP Count | 2 × multichannel buffered serial ports - support AC97, SPI, T1/E1 framing, and ST-Bus switching in voice/data gateway applications. |
| DMA Channels | 4-channel controller with auxiliary channel - offloads data movement from CPU, preserving MIPS for algorithm execution. |
| Process Technology | 0.15-μm CMOS - balances power efficiency and performance for industrial temperature-grade operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 288-pin MicroStar BGA™ (GHK), 16 mm × 16 mm, 1.27-mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant. Thermal pad on underside requires solder paste stencil design per TI SZZA031.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS320C6203GLS250 | 384-pin GLS BGA, 250 MHz, 300-MMACS, 384K-byte on-chip RAM (256K program + 128K data) | Higher performance and larger memory suit complex radar pulse compression; not pin-compatible with GHK package. | Select when >1600 MIPS or >64K data RAM is required; requires PCB redesign due to different footprint and voltage (1.7 V core). |
| TMS320C6202GLS200 | 384-pin GLS BGA, 200 MHz, 1600 MIPS, 384K-byte RAM (256K program + 128K data), 1.8-V core | Same clock rate but higher core voltage and larger memory; includes third McBSP absent in C6204ZHK200. | Choose for legacy compatibility with C6202-based designs; incompatible with 1.5-V power delivery networks used for C6204ZHK200. |
Compared with TMS320C6204ZHK200, the C6203GLS250 delivers 25% higher MAC throughput and 5× more on-chip data RAM but requires board-level voltage and layout changes, while the C6202GLS200 retains identical 200-MHz performance yet mandates 1.8-V core supply and adds a third McBSP - making it unsuitable for drop-in replacement in GHK-based systems.

FAQ
What is the core supply voltage requirement for the TMS320C6204ZHK200?
The TMS320C6204ZHK200 requires a nominal 1.5-V ±0.075-V core supply (DVDD) and a 3.3-V ±0.3-V I/O supply (CVDD). Power sequencing must assert CVDD before DVDD and maintain DVDD within specification during all operational modes. This dual-rail scheme enables the 200-MHz clock rate while limiting dynamic power dissipation in the VelociTI™ CPU core.
Does the TMS320C6204ZHK200 support JTAG debugging?
Yes, the TMS320C6204ZHK200 fully complies with IEEE-1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan architecture via dedicated EMU0/EMU1 pins. It supports real-time instruction trace, breakpoint insertion, and register visibility through TI's XDS510-class emulators - enabling full source-level debugging of C and assembly code during development and validation.
How many McBSPs does the TMS320C6204ZHK200 integrate, and what protocols do they support?
The TMS320C6204ZHK200 integrates two multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSP0 and McBSP1). Each supports AC97, SPI (Motorola format), T1/E1 framing, ST-Bus switching, and MVIP/SCSA protocols - with up to 256 channels per port. Their direct hardware synchronization with external codecs and framer ICs eliminates software overhead in voice and data communication systems.
What memory mapping options are available on the TMS320C6204ZHK200 at reset?
The TMS320C6204ZHK200 supports two memory map configurations (MAP 0 and MAP 1) selected by BOOTMODE[4:0] pins at reset. In MAP 0, external memory starts at 0x00000000; in MAP 1, internal program RAM occupies that address. This flexibility allows booting from flash (MAP 0) or executing from on-chip RAM (MAP 1), both supported natively by the TMS320C6204ZHK200's EMIF and address decoder logic.
Is the TMS320C6204ZHK200 pin-compatible with other C62x devices?
No - the TMS320C6204ZHK200 uses the 288-pin GHK BGA package, which is not pin-compatible with the 340-pin GLW or 384-pin GLS packages used by C6202/C6203 variants. While functional registers and instruction sets are aligned across the C62x family, mechanical and electrical pinout differences require unique PCB layouts for the TMS320C6204ZHK200.
