Product details
Overview
TMSDC6727BGDHA250 from Texas Instruments is a 32-/64-bit floating-point digital signal processor (DSP) featuring a C67x+ CPU core running at 250 MHz, 256 KB on-chip RAM, 384 KB ROM, and a 32 KB program cache. It integrates three multichannel audio serial ports (McASP0–McASP2), dual SPI, dual I²C, real-time interrupt timer, oscillator- and software-controlled PLL, and a 32-bit Universal Host-Port Interface (UHPI). It targets professional audio synthesis, effects processing, and broadcast systems requiring deterministic low-latency signal flow.
For engineers reviewing the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 datasheet, TMSDC6727BGDHA250 pinout, TMSDC6727BGDHA250 application, or TMSDC6727BGDHA250 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250-MHz C67x+ CPU performance (2000 MIPS/1500 MFLOPS), 32-bit UHPI for host-DSP co-processing, McASP2 with DIT capability for S/PDIF output, 32-bit EMIF supporting up to 512M-bit SDRAM, and PBGA-256 (GDH) thermal-enhanced packaging for high-density audio compute modules.
Technical Context
The TMSDC6727BGDHA250 implements the enhanced C67x+ VLIW CPU with dual 32-register data paths, eight functional units (.D1/.D2, .M1/.M2, .S1/.S2, .L1/.L2), and native IEEE 32-bit single-precision and 64-bit double-precision floating-point arithmetic. It achieves 2000 MIPS and 1500 MFLOPS at 250 MHz with 1.2-V core voltage and 3.3-V I/O.
Its memory subsystem includes unified 256 KB RAM and 384 KB ROM mapped via a high-performance crossbar switch supporting concurrent CPU, dMAX, and UHPI accesses. The 32 KB direct-mapped program cache delivers single-cycle hits and 2-cycle misses to internal memory, while the 32-bit EMIF supports 133-MHz SDRAM and NAND flash with hardware ECC for boot reliability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar floating-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS320C6727BZDH250 | ZDH suffix indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant 256-pin PBGA with identical electrical specs and pinout; same thermal pad but different plating and moisture sensitivity level (MSL3 vs MSL4). | Preferred for medical and industrial designs requiring full RoHS compliance and higher moisture resistance during reflow. | Select ZDH for new designs targeting global regulatory compliance; GDH remains viable for legacy production with existing qualification. |
| TMS320C6726BGDHA266 | Lower-cost variant with 266-MHz CPU, 16-bit EMIF, no UHPI, and reduced McASP count (McASP0/McASP1 only); shares same GDH package and 256 KB RAM/384 KB ROM. | Suitable for cost-sensitive audio endpoints (e.g., USB DACs, Bluetooth speakers) where host control is via SPI/I²C and SDRAM bandwidth is not required. | Choose GDHA266 when UHPI and McASP2/DIT are unnecessary and 133-MHz SDRAM interface is not needed. |
Compared with TMSDC6727BGDHA250, the ZDH variant offers identical functionality with stricter environmental compliance, while the C6726BGDHA266 sacrifices UHPI, McASP2, and 32-bit EMIF to reduce BOM cost-making it suitable only for less demanding audio edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum SDRAM capacity supported by the TMSDC6727BGDHA250?
The TMSDC6727BGDHA250 supports up to 512M-bit SDRAM devices via its 32-bit EMIF operating at 133 MHz. This enables configurations such as two 256M-bit x16 SDRAM chips or one 512M-bit x32 device, providing ample buffer space for multi-channel audio streaming and real-time effects processing in the TMSDC6727BGDHA250-based system.
Does the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 include a hardware watchdog timer?
Yes, the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 integrates a digital watchdog within its Real-Time Interrupt (RTI) module. The RTI includes two 32-bit counter/prescaler pairs and four compare registers with automatic reload, and the optional watchdog function enhances system robustness in unattended audio equipment by triggering reset on software hang or timing violation in the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 firmware.
Can the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 boot directly from NAND flash?
Yes, the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 supports NAND flash boot with built-in hardware ECC for single-bit error correction across 512-byte blocks. Its EMIF configures NAND in 8- or 16-bit mode, and the on-chip ROM bootloader initializes the device and loads application code - enabling secure, field-upgradable firmware storage without external ECC controllers in TMSDC6727BGDHA250-based products.
Is the UHPI interface available on all C672x variants?
No, the 32-bit Universal Host-Port Interface (UHPI) is exclusive to the TMS320C6727B family, including the TMSDC6727BGDHA250. It is not present on C6726B, C6722B, or C6720 variants. This makes the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 the only C672x device capable of high-bandwidth parallel host-DSP communication, critical for hybrid audio systems with external ARM/FPGA controllers.
What audio formats does McASP2 support on the TMSDC6727BGDHA250?
McASP2 on the TMSDC6727BGDHA250 supports I²S, left-justified, right-justified, and time-division multiplexed (TDM) formats with up to 32 time slots. In DIT mode, it generates S/PDIF-compliant bitstreams with full 384-bit channel status and user data - enabling direct digital output to studio monitors or broadcast infrastructure without external transceivers in TMSDC6727BGDHA250 implementations.
