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 I/O voltage; verify exact values in the datasheet. Use a power sequencing scheme to avoid latch-up.
For high-speed operation at 167 MHz, maintain controlled impedance for EMIF traces and keep trace lengths matched. Use a solid ground plane and minimize vias. Place the DSP away from noisy components. Follow TI's layout guidelines for BGA packages to ensure reliable solder joints.
The 256-pin BGA package has a thermal resistance that requires adequate heat dissipation. For extended temperature operation, consider adding thermal vias under the package and a heatsink if power dissipation is high. Ensure ambient temperature does not exceed the maximum rating.
