The TMS320C62x? DSPs (including the TMS320C6204 device) compose the fixed-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000? DSP platform. The TMS320C6204 (C6204) device is based on the high-performance, advanced VelociTI? very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture developed by Texas Instruments (TI), making the C6204 an excellent choice for multichannel and multifunction applications.

With performance of up to 1600 million instructions per second (MIPS) at a clock rate of 200 MHz, the C6204 offers cost-effective solutions to high-performance DSP-programming challenges. The C6204 DSP possesses the operational flexibility of high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array processors. This processor has 32 general-purpose registers of 32-bit word length and eight highly independent functional units.
