Connecting TMS320C54x DSP with Flash Memory
Jason Zheng Jiang · 1999
Flash memory offers better cost per bit than traditional EPROM when storage density increases. Flash memory competes with EPROM with lower power consumption, and smaller package and program content after assembling. These features make flash memory a good selection in applications like GPS receiver, hand-held MP3 player, and Set-Top Boxes. The Texas Instruments (TI™) TMS320C54x family of digital signal processors (DSPs) offers fast operation speed and low power consumption that makes this DSP ideal for portable applications where flash memory also fits. This application report provides a reference on interfacing a DSP with flash memory.
