Texas Instruments TMS320DM6467CCUT7

Overview

TMS320DM6467CCUT7 from Texas Instruments is a dual-core digital media system-on-chip integrating a 729-MHz TMS320C64x+ DSP core and a 364.5-MHz ARM926EJ-S RISC processor, with 128KB L2 unified RAM/cache, dual HDVICP video co-processors, and 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC - deployed in networked video infrastructure and real-time encode/decode systems.

For engineers reviewing the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 datasheet, TMS320DM6467CCUT7 pinout, TMS320DM6467CCUT7 application, or TMS320DM6467CCUT7 equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR2 memory controller timing (310.5 MHz), VPIF video capture/display bandwidth (108 MHz), HDVICP hardware acceleration for H.264/MPEG4/VC1, and industrial-temperature operation support.

Technical Context

The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 implements a tightly coupled dual-subsystem architecture: the ARM926EJ-S handles OS-level control, boot, peripheral configuration, and real-time task scheduling, while the C64x+ DSP executes compute-intensive media algorithms at up to 5832 MIPS. Both cores share access to 128KB L2 memory with flexible RAM/cache allocation.

Hardware acceleration is distributed across dedicated blocks: dual HDVICP engines perform parallel encode/decode offload; VDCE handles chroma conversion (4:2:2 ↔ 4:2:0) and downscaling; CRGEN modules provide clock recovery for TSIF transport stream interfaces; and EDMA3 supports 64 independent channels for zero-CPU-overhead data movement between peripherals and memory.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the DSP core in the TMS320DM6467CCUT7?

The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 features a TMS320C64x+ DSP core rated at 729 MHz, delivering 5832 MIPS and 4752 MMACS. This frequency is validated under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to 85°C) with 1.2-V core supply and is documented in the SPRS403H datasheet revision June 2012. The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 achieves this performance using TI's 0.09-μm CMOS process and adaptive voltage scaling.

Does the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 support H.264 High Profile encoding?

Yes, the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 supports H.264 Baseline, Main, and High Profile encoding and decoding via its dual HDVICP hardware co-processors. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the device datasheet section 1.1 Features and functional block diagram. The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 offloads all entropy coding, motion estimation, and loop filtering to dedicated logic, enabling real-time 1080p30 encode at <500 mW additional power draw.

What package type and ball pitch does the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 use?

The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 uses a 529-pin Pb-free BGA package with "CUT" suffix, 19 × 19 mm body size, and 0.8-mm ball pitch. It replaces the obsolete ZUT package and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Thermal data and mechanical drawings are provided in Section 8.2 of the SPRS403H datasheet, confirming compatibility with standard BGA reflow profiles for lead-free assembly.

Can the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 operate in industrial temperature range?

Yes, the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 is qualified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as specified in Table 3-1 and Section 6.2 of the SPRS403H datasheet. This rating applies to the "-729" speed grade variant, which includes the TMS320DM6467CCUT7. The device uses 1.2-V core voltage and supports SmartReflex™ power management to maintain stability across the full range.

How many independent transport stream interfaces does the TMS320DM6467CCUT7 integrate?

The TMS320DM6467CCUT7 integrates two independent Transport Stream Interface (TSIF) modules: one supports both parallel (8-bit) and serial input/output, while the other supports serial-only input/output. Each module has a dedicated Clock Recovery Generator (CRGEN) for external VCXO control and absolute time stamp detection - critical for broadcast infrastructure applications requiring PCR accuracy.
