Texas Instruments (TI) claims that the four new processors are the industry's lowest power floating-point digital signal processors.

TI has said that packed with a combination of application-tuned features and peripherals, these devices reduce overall system cost for a wide spectrum of products including industrial, communications, medical diagnostics and audio.

With performance levels up to 300MHz, these products offer the ability to manage on-chip power through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling and multiple power down modes. When coupled with TI power management software and complementary analog solutions, developers can optimize their system for performance and power without having to be an energy expert, TI has said.

According to TI, to ease and reduce development time, the new offerings are pin-for-pin compatible with each other, code compatible with all TMS320C6000 devices and complemented by a low-cost experimenter board and full-featured evaluation module.
