To take advantage of the growing opportunities in Smart Metering and other energy-control applications, developers need to be able to add communication links to existing systems in a cost effective manner. TI’s innovative Viterbi Complex Math Unit (VCU), introduced to the realtime control TMS320C2000™ microcontroller (MCU) platform, provides an enhanced math engine that accelerates complex communications algorithm processing by a factor of up to 7×. This white paper provides an overview of how the VCU adds system effi ciency and performance that complements the TMS320C28x™ DSP core, including key operation examples, benchmarks and architecture benefits.
