Product details
Overview
TMS320VC5506ZHH from Texas Instruments is a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) featuring a 16-bit dual-MAC CPU core, 320KB on-chip RAM (192KB DARAM + 128KB SARAM), 4-level pipeline, and integrated peripherals including three McBSPs, I²C, USB 2.0 full-speed controller, DMA, timers, and configurable external memory interface. It operates at 100 MHz (10-ns instruction cycle) and targets real-time audio processing, voice recognition, and industrial control systems requiring deterministic low-latency computation.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320VC5506ZHH datasheet, TMS320VC5506ZHH pinout, TMS320VC5506ZHH application, or TMS320VC5506ZHH equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 179-ball BGA (ZHH), functional register-level behavior, and validated alternative DSPs for migration or second-sourcing in embedded signal-processing designs.
Technical Context
The TMS320VC5506ZHH implements a modified Harvard architecture with separate program and data buses, enabling simultaneous instruction fetch and dual-data operand access. Its CPU supports conditional execution, circular buffering, bit-reversed addressing, and zero-overhead looping - all critical for efficient FIR/IIR filter execution and FFT computation.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and synchronized via a unified clock domain derived from an internal PLL or external crystal (4–20 MHz). The device supports boot from external parallel memory (EMIF), serial EEPROM (I²C), or USB host, with configurable reset vector selection and power-down IDLE modes controlled by dedicated system registers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the TMS320VC5506ZHH?
The TMS320VC5506ZHH operates at a maximum CPU clock frequency of 100 MHz, corresponding to a 10-ns instruction cycle time. This speed is achieved using the internal PLL with an external 4–20 MHz crystal or clock source. The device's performance is sustained under recommended operating conditions: VDD_CORE = 1.6 V ±0.1 V and ambient temperature ≤ 85°C. TMS320VC5506ZHH maintains full functionality across its specified frequency range without derating.
Does the TMS320VC5506ZHH support USB host functionality?
No, the TMS320VC5506ZHH supports USB device mode only - it cannot act as a USB host. Its integrated USB 2.0 full-speed controller implements the device-side protocol stack and physical layer, enabling connection to a PC or USB host controller. External hub or host functionality requires companion silicon. TMS320VC5506ZHH does not include OTG capability or host controller logic.
How much on-chip RAM does the TMS320VC5506ZHH provide, and what types are available?
The TMS320VC5506ZHH integrates 320 KB of on-chip RAM: 192 KB of dual-access RAM (DARAM) and 128 KB of single-access RAM (SARAM). DARAM allows simultaneous read and write operations in a single cycle - critical for coefficient/data separation in filter banks. SARAM serves as general-purpose program/data storage. Both blocks are mapped into the unified memory space and accessible without wait states. TMS320VC5506ZHH does not include flash or ROM beyond the boot loader.
Can the TMS320VC5506ZHH boot from serial EEPROM?
Yes, the TMS320VC5506ZHH supports I²C boot mode, allowing initialization from external serial EEPROM connected to its I²C interface (SDA/SCL pins). Boot configuration is selected via the External Bus Selection Register (EBSR) and GPIO strap pins at reset. The on-chip boot loader copies code from EEPROM into internal RAM for execution. TMS320VC5506ZHH requires no external boot ROM or parallel memory for this mode.
What package type is used for the TMS320VC5506ZHH, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The TMS320VC5506ZHH uses a 179-ball microBGA package designated ZHH: 12 mm × 12 mm body, 0.8 mm ball pitch, with exposed thermal pad on the underside. It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per TI's packaging standards. The ZHH package shares pinout compatibility with the GHH variant but differs in thermal performance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3). TMS320VC5506ZHH requires reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines.
