TMS320C6x Architecture
T
HE first section of this appendix is intended to serve as a basic primer on computer
architecture to the extent necessary to have a better understanding of the TMS320C6x
architecture. It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of microprocessor
operations. The second section then discusses the TMS320C6x architecture in some detail.
Readers familiar with computer architecture may find it unnecessary to read the first section
in order to understand the second section. For more detailed information on the TMS320C6x
processors, the reader is referred to the technical documentation from Texas Instruments
