Overview

The TMS320DM8168CCYG2 is a high-performance DaVinci Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC) featuring a dual-core architecture with a 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A8 and a 1GHz C674x VLIW DSP. It is designed for multi-channel high-definition video processing, integrating HDVICP2 hardware accelerators and an SGX530 3D graphics engine to handle complex media tasks simultaneously.

Why Choose This Part

This SoC offers exceptional throughput via dual 32-bit DDR2/DDR3 interfaces and a dedicated 1.5MB on-chip RAM for low-latency processing. It simplifies system design by integrating high-speed peripherals like SATA, PCIe 2.0 with PHY, and Gigabit Ethernet on a single chip while maintaining industrial temperature tolerance up to 105 degrees Celsius.

Applications

Multi-Channel HD Video Surveillance
Capable of simultaneous encoding and decoding of multiple 1080p60 video streams for high-end NVR and DVR systems.
Digital Signage and Video Walls
Utilizes the HD Video Processing Subsystem (HDVPSS) and 3D graphics engine for high-resolution interactive displays.
Media Gateways
Provides integrated SATA and PCIe 2.0 interfaces for high-bandwidth data storage and network routing in media infrastructure.
