TI TMS320C50/FPGA Rapid Prototype Kit

At SIGNALWARE, we specialize in combining TI DSP with Field Programable Gate Arrays. SIGNALWARE's Rapid Prototype Kit is a ready made way to test designs that employ this powerful combination of technologies.

The TMS320C50 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), that Texas Instruments supplies, is a foundation for DSP prototyping. The kit provides a good way to demonstrate the capability of the C50. However, adding the FPGA, extra memory and buffered interfaces extends the DSK to a full C50 prototyping environment. The kit can be purchased preassembled. .

Features

• Saves 2-6 months of time developing a C50/FPGA prototype
• Supports C based prototype software instead of time consuming assembly language
• Protects Sensitive Circuits from Static Discharge or Mechanical Damage
