The DSP56321 offers 275 million multiply- accumulates per second (MMACS) performance, attaining 550 MMACS when the EFCOP is in use. It operates with an internal 275 MHz clock with a 1.6 volt core and independent 3.3 volt input/output (I/O) power. By operating in parallel with the core, the EFCOP provides overall enhanced performance and signal quality with no impact on channel throughput or total channel support. This device is pin-compatible with the Freescale DSP56303, DSP56L307, DSP56309, and DSP56311.
