Introduces the Code Composer Studio integrated development environment, the industry's first open, integrated DSP software development environment capable of reducing DSP coding time by up to 50 percent or more, and announces the industry's first DSPs, the TMS320C549 and TMS320C5410, to pack 115 mW at 100 MIPS and up to 64K words of on-chip SRAM into an ultra-small package, the microStar BGA, measuring 12 x 12 x 1.4mm.

Price/performance barrier for DSP-based embedded systems

broken by introducing the TMS320C6202, capable of executing 2000 MIPS, and the TMS320C6211, delivering 1200 MIPS and offering unprecedented performance value.

1999: The industry's first DSP-based printer solution, xStream DSP Technology, gives users the ability to print complex layouts with multiple color graphics and images in seconds rather than minutes.

Announces the TMS320VC33, the $5 floating-point DSP available, and the TMS320C6711, the first floating-point DSP with 2-level cache memory architecture for outstanding floating point price/performance and low-cost, and ships the first digital baseband product with transistor feature sizes of 0.15-micron Effective or 0.18 drawn. Provides the industry's first PCI-to-DSP bridge device that connects multiple DSPs to the PCI bus with no additional glue logic, and announces the 1.2-volt TMS320C54x catalog DSP that extends the battery life for applications such as cochlear implants, hearing aids and wireless and telephony devices.

Introduces the fastest DSP, the TMS320C6203, which runs at 300 MHz, executes at 2400 MIPS and packs the largest amount of memory on any single-core DSP.

Announces the industry's first DSP-optimized ADC with on-chip first-in, first-out memory (THS1206) that allows for more efficient communication of data between the ADC and a DSP.

Six new TMS320C24x DSPs with 2x as much performance ...

... per dollar than any motor controller in the market and enables Technosoft, a TI third party, to announce a C24x motor controller with complete, ready-to-use motor and motion control software pre-loaded in on-chip memory.

Provides the first complete DSP-based solution, for the secure downloading of music off the Internet onto portable audio devices, with Liquid Audio Inc., the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and SanDisk.

Announces that SANYO Electric will deliver the first Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI)-compliant portable digital music player based on TI's C5000 programmable DSPs and Liquid Audio's Secure Portable Player Platform (SP3).

Announces the industry's first open DSP software environment, eXpressDSP Real-Time Software Technology, designed to enable an expected tenfold increase in DSP applications, and teams with Telogy Networks to introduce the industry's first integrated silicon and software chipset solution for Internet Protocol (IP) Phones.
