The D.Module.C6203 is a high performance fixed-point member of the D.Module family of business card sized digital signal processor boards. It is perfectly suited for demanding, standalone, embedded image processing applications. The unique architecture allows a glueless connection of many CMOS image sensors without extra frame grabber hardware. As with all members of the D.Module family, the D.Module.BIOS handles low-level hardware programming and lets you focus on the 'real' signal processing tasks.

Key applications are machine vision and biometrics. As a general purpose DSP board, the D.Module.C6203 however is perfectly suited to many other applications too. Special care has been taken to facilitate field maintenance and serviceability. The Setup Mode provides straightforward file upload for program and parameter updates via RS232 terminal. The Module Config File stores configuration data in human-readable ASCII format and provides script mechanisms to control system start-up. Setup mode also provides basic debug capabilities for field diagnostics without requiring special emulation hardware.

The modular, self-stacking concept facilitates building complete signal processing systems. Excellent system adaptability is provided by the integration of reconfigurable logic: Up to 32 I/O signals are user-programmable and can be configured to a variety of interfaces, ranging from bit-programmable I/O to I2C bus controller, quadrature encoder interfaces, PWM, CMOS image sensor interfaces, etc. Communicating with process control systems or multi-processor coupling is supported by two high-speed UARTs (up to 3 Mbaud) and three fast synchronous serial ports (up to 100 Mbit/s).

The TMS320C6203 DSP uses the VelociTI™ modified VLIW architecture, with up to eight instruction units operating in parallel. Supported by a large internal memory, the basis for highest image data throughput and outstanding performance is laid out. Data acquisition and memory block transfers are handled in background by a 4 channel DMA controller. The processor's Expansion Bus provides the high-speed data acquisition path, which is capable of transferring image data under DMA control without additional buffers or FIFOs.
