device and development support tool nomenclature (continued)

Support tool development evolutionary flow:

TMDX

Development support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal qualification

testing

TMDS

Fully qualified development support product

TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:

“Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes.”

TMS devices and TMDS development support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability

of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI’s standard warranty applies.

Predictions show that prototype devices (TMX or TMP) have a greater failure rate than the standard production

devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system because their

expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be used.

TI device nomenclature also includes a suffix with the device family name. This suffix indicates the package type

(for example, N, FN, or GB) and temperature range (for example, L). Figure 2 provides a legend for reading the

complete device name for any TMS320 or TMX320 family member.

documentation support

Extensive documentation supports all of the TMS320 family devices from product announcement through

applications development. The types of documentation available include data sheets with design specifications,

user’s guides for all devices and development support tools, and three volumes of

Digital Signal Processing

Applications with the TMS320 Family (literature numbers SPRA012, SPRA016, and SPRA017).

The application book series describes hardware and software applications, including algorithms, for fixed and

floating-point TMS320 family devices. The

TMS320C5x User’s Guide (literature number SPRU056), which

describes in detail the fifth-generation TMS320 products, is also currently available.

A series of DSP textbooks is published by Prentice-Hall and John Wiley & Sons to support digital signal

processing research and education. The TMS320 newsletter,

Details on Signal Processing, is published

quarterly and distributed to update TMS320 customers on product information. The TMS320 DSP bulletin board

service (BBS) provides access to information pertaining to the TMS320 family, including documentation, source

code and object code for many DSP algorithms and utilities. The BBS can be reached at 713/274-2323.
