From Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processors & ARM Microprocessors

This document assists in estimating the power consumption for the TMS320C5504/C5505/C5514/C5515
and TMS320C5532/C5533/C5534/C5535 digital signal processors (DSPs). Power consumption on these
devices is highly application-dependent, so a spreadsheet is provided to estimate power consumption.
The spreadsheet allows you to enter parameters that closely resemble the application and generate a
realistic estimate of DSP power consumption based on your input. It also allows designers the ability to
test the efficiency of different configurations before they assemble any hardware or write any code.

Digital Signal Processors (DSP)
Digital signal processors (DSPs) are specialized microprocessors designed specifically for digital signal processing, usually in real-time. DSPs can also be used to perform general-purpose computations, but are not optimized for this function.
Microprocessor Chips (MPU)
Microprocessor chips (MPU) are silicon devices that serve as the central processing unit (CPU) in computers. They contain thousands of electronic components and use a collection of machine instructions to perform mathematical operations and move data from one memory location to another.
