The SM320C50-EP digital signal processor (DSP) is a high-performance, 16-bit, fixed-point processor manufactured in 0.72-m double-level metal CMOS technology. The C50 is the first DSP from TI designed as a fully static device. Full-static CMOS design contributes to low power consumption while maintaining high performance, making it ideal for applications such as battery-operated communications systems, satellite systems, and advanced control algorithms.
