Introduction
This section describes the main features of the OMAP5912 device, lists the terminal assignments, and
describes the function of each terminal. This data manual also provides a detailed description section,
electrical specifications, parameter measurement information, and mechanical data about the available
packaging.
2.1
Description
OMAP5912 is a highly integrated hardware and software platform, designed to meet the application
processing needs of next-generation embedded devices.
The OMAP
platform enables OEMs and ODMs to quickly bring to market devices featuring rich user
interfaces, high processing performance, and long battery life through the maximum flexibility of a fully
integrated mixed processor solution.
The dual-core architecture provides benefits of both DSP and reduced instruction set computer (RISC)
technologies, incorporating a TMS320C55x DSP core and a high-performance ARM926EJ-S ARM
core.
The OMAP5912 device is designed to run leading open and embedded RISC-based operating systems, as
well as the Texas Instruments (TI) DSP/BIOS
software kernel foundation, and is available in two 289-ball
lead-free ball grid array (BGA) packages (ZDY and ZZG).
The OMAP5912 device is targeted at the following applications:
Applications Processing Devices
Mobile Communications
WAN 802.11X
Bluetooth
GSM, GPRS, EDGE
CDMA
Video and Image Processing (MPEG4, JPEG, Windows
Media Video, etc.)
Advanced Speech Applications (text-to-speech, speech recognition)
Audio Processing (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3 [MP3], AMR, WMA, AAC, and Other GSM Speech Codecs)
Graphics and Video Acceleration
Generalized Web Access
