Product details
Overview
TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 from Texas Instruments is a 1-GHz fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) with VelociTI.2™ VLIW architecture, 8 functional units (6 ALUs + 2 multipliers), 64 × 32-bit registers, and integrated VCP/TCP coprocessors for real-time channel decoding in wireless baseband systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 datasheet, TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 pinout, TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 application, or TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 equivalent, this page delivers verified core performance specs, L2 memory mapping, EMIF timing constraints, PCI/UTOPIA peripheral enablement, and coprocessor programmability - all confirmed for the GLZ-package, -A6 speed grade (1 GHz, 1.2-V core, 3.3-V I/O) variant.
Technical Context
The TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 implements a dual-data-path, two-sided CPU with independent A/B register files and cross-path data routing, enabling simultaneous 8-instruction execute packets at 1-GHz clock rate. Its VelociTI.2™ extensions support quad-8-bit and dual-16-bit packed arithmetic per cycle, non-aligned load/store, and conditional execution on all instructions.
This device integrates two dedicated hardware accelerators: the Viterbi Decoder Coprocessor (VCP), operating at CPU/4 (250 MHz), supports >833 AMR voice channels (7.95 Kbps); and the Turbo Decoder Coprocessor (TCP), running at CPU/2 (500 MHz), handles up to 60 × 384-Kbps or 10 × 2-Mbps 3GPP-compliant turbo decoding with fully programmable iterations, frame length, and interleaver.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6?
The TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 is rated for 1-GHz operation, corresponding to a 1-ns instruction cycle time. This speed grade requires 1.2-V core supply and is validated across commercial temperature range (0°C to 90°C case temperature). The device achieves 8000 MIPS and 8000 MMACS at this frequency, as specified in the SPRS226M datasheet revision April 2009.
Does the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 include hardware accelerators for wireless channel decoding?
Yes, the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 integrates two dedicated coprocessors: the Viterbi Decoder Coprocessor (VCP) and Turbo Decoder Coprocessor (TCP). The VCP supports >833 AMR voice channels (7.95 Kbps), and the TCP handles up to 60 × 384-Kbps or 10 × 2-Mbps 3GPP-compliant turbo decoding - both operate independently of the main CPU and communicate via EDMA.
Which external memory interfaces does the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 support?
The TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 features two glueless external memory interfaces: a 64-bit EMIFA supporting SDRAM, ZBT SRAM, FIFO, and asynchronous memories; and a 16-bit EMIFB for flash, EEPROM, or low-bandwidth peripherals. Total addressable space is 1280 MB, with programmable timing parameters for setup/hold/wait states.
Is the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 pin-compatible with other C641xT devices?
Yes, the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6 is pin-for-pin compatible with the TMS320C6414T and TMS320C6415T when using identical peripheral configurations. Compatibility requires disabling PCI and UTOPIA on C6415T/C6416T if unused, and proper termination of BEA[9:7] pins per the Terminal Functions table in SPRS226M.
What development tools are supported for the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6?
Texas Instruments provides full toolchain support for the TMS320C6416TBGLZA6, including the C6000 Code Generation Tools (C compiler, assembler, linker), Code Composer Studio™ IDE (v3.3+), and XDS560-class JTAG emulators.
