TI C6000 Obsolete DSP Stock Guide
The Texas Instruments TMS320C6000™ DSP platform includes several legacy C62x, C64x and C67x processors that have reached obsolete status. These DSPs were widely used in telecom infrastructure, industrial control, audio, defense and high-performance signal-processing equipment.
Popular obsolete devices include TMS320C6414, TMS320C6415, TMS320C6416, TMS320C6202B, TMS320C6203B, TMS320C6204, SM320C6711D-EP, SM320C6712D-EP and SM320C6713B-EP.
DataStorageIC supports RFQs for obsolete and hard-to-find TI C6000 DSPs for legacy production, repair and spare-parts requirements.

Replacement Considerations
There is no single modern TI DSP that serves as a universal drop-in replacement for all obsolete C6000 processors.
Engineers should evaluate CPU architecture, fixed- versus floating-point requirements, clock speed, memory, PCI/HPI interfaces, McBSP/McASP connectivity, package, power rails and existing software before migrating.
For legacy C6414/C6415/C6416 platforms, TI documentation also shows that related C6414T/C6415T/C6416T devices offered higher performance, but lifecycle status must be checked for the exact ordering code before using them as a migration option.

FAQ
Are TI C6000 DSPs discontinued?
Some legacy C6000 products are obsolete, but not every C6000 processor or every ordering code has the same lifecycle status. The exact MPN should always be checked.
Is TMS320C6415 obsolete?
Yes. TI currently lists TMS320C6415 as OBSOLETE.
Is TMS320C6416 obsolete?
Legacy C6416 orderable devices such as TMS32C6416EZLZA6E3 are currently listed as obsolete.
Is TMS320C6701 obsolete?
Not as a complete product family. TI currently lists TMS320C6701 as ACTIVE, but individual OPNs such as TMS320C6701GJCA120 are Obsolete.
Are SM320C6711D-EP and SM320C6712D-EP obsolete?
Yes. TI currently classifies both Enhanced Product DSPs as OBSOLETE.
