New
TMS320C6000™ DSP Text Book
The two major components of DSP systems are DSP processors and
analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog data converters.
The objectives of Digital Signal Processing System-Level
Design Using LabVIEW by Nasser Kehtarnavaz and Namjin Kimis
are: (a) to provide the knowledge needed to select an appropriate
data converter for a specific DSP system of interest and (b)
to provide the knowledge to implement and optimize signal processing
algorithms on the family of C6000™ DSP processors. This
book can be used as lecture materials for a DSP real-time lab
using C6000 DSPs or as a self-study guide for those designing
C6000-based DSP systems. The book is primarily written for those
who are already familiar with DSP concepts and are interested
in designing DSP systems based on TI data converters and TI
C6000 DSP products.

University Spotlight
TI Collaborates
with Mexican Institute on Research and Education
When it comes to advanced engineering studies, Cinvestav (El
Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto
Politécnico Nacional) is one of Mexico’s most recognized
academic institutions for doctoral degrees and postgraduate
work. The institute has four percent of the country’s
National Researchers System-endorsed technology researchers
who contribute 17 percent of the total content of internationally
prestigious journals. TI has an 18-year history of collaboration
with Cinvestav, including both research and DSP instruction.
This long-term collaboration has recently been reinvigorated
with the establishment of a TI DSP lab based on the C6000™,
C5000™, C2000™ and MSP430 families. The lab is having
an impact on more than 60 researchers, 25 undergraduate students,
50 master’s students and 10 doctoral students in Mexico
City per year. Applications developed at Cinvestav include projects
in telephony, fiber optics, satellite, cellular and network
communications.
Cinvestav has also recently become involved in two TI DSP projects.
One involves developing an emulator of a multiple-input/multiple-output
channel with application to communications systems, and the
other concerns developing a substance-detection-in-water control.
In addition, Cinvestav’s strong collaboration with private
companies and government has helped DSP knowledge expand over
the years through the institute’s training and consulting
services.
The institute is already well-known for its nationwide coverage,
with campuses in Monterrey, Saltillo, Guadalajara, Querétaro,
Irapuato, Merida and Mexico City. Cinvestav’s plans for
2006 include the implementation of DSP instruction in all disciplines
offered by the department of electrical engineering, complementing
theory with practical knowledge through TI’s DSP labs.
