TMS320DM365ZCE27

The TMS320DM365ZCE27 is TI’s DaVinci DM365 multimedia System-on-Chip (SoC) in the DM36x family. It combines an ARM926EJ-S host processor with a fixed‑point TMS320C64x+ DSP and a dedicated video/imaging subsystem, optimized for embedded video and imaging tasks.
Key features (high level):
- Up to about 600 MHz operation, with DSP and ARM cores for dual-host processing
- Hardware video codecs and imaging engines for MPEG-4, H.263, MJPEG, and related formats; hardware acceleration for video processing
- Integrated video capture/output interfaces and memory controllers; rich I/O (USB, SD/MMC, serial I/O, etc.)
Typical applications:
- Digital cameras and camcorders, video surveillance, videoconferencing, medical imaging, and other embedded multimedia devices
ZCE27 note:
- The suffix denotes a specific package/temperature grade variant. For exact pinout, memory, and I/O details, consult the DM365 datasheet and TI hardware manuals.
