TMS320C6701GJCA120 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the TMS320C6701GJCA120?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VDD (1.2V) first, followed by VIO (3.3V) and then the clock signal. This ensures proper device initialization and prevents latch-up.
• How do I optimize the performance of the C6701's cache?
  To optimize cache performance, ensure that the cache is enabled and configured correctly. Use the cache control registers to set the cache size, line size, and associativity. Additionally, optimize your code to minimize cache misses by using cache-friendly data structures and algorithms.
• What is the maximum frequency of the External Memory Interface (EMIF)?
  The maximum frequency of the EMIF is 133 MHz. However, the actual frequency may be limited by the external memory device and the system design.
• How do I implement a watchdog timer on the C6701?
  The C6701 has a built-in watchdog timer module. To implement a watchdog timer, configure the watchdog timer registers to set the timeout period and enable the timer. The watchdog timer can be reset by writing to the watchdog timer reset register.
• What is the purpose of the Device Emulation Register (DER) on the C6701?
  The Device Emulation Register (DER) is used to emulate the behavior of other devices in the TMS320C6000 family. This allows developers to test and debug their code on the C6701 before porting it to other devices.
