Design Notes
The TMS320C6211B requires separate core (CVDD) and I/O (DVDD) power supplies. Ensure proper decoupling with 0.1uF and 10uF capacitors placed close to each power pin. The core voltage is typically lower than the I/O voltage; verify the exact values in the datasheet. Use a dedicated power management IC to sequence the supplies correctly.
For high-speed operation at 167 MHz, maintain controlled impedance for the EMIF traces. Use a 4-layer or more PCB with solid ground and power planes. Keep trace lengths matched for data and address buses to minimize skew. Place the DSP close to external memory to reduce propagation delays.
The 256-pin BGA package has a thermal resistance that requires adequate heat dissipation. Use thermal vias under the package to conduct heat to the ground plane. For extended temperature operation, consider a heatsink or forced airflow. Calculate the power dissipation based on core and I/O currents to ensure junction temperature stays within limits.
