5. On Chip Off Chip 'C6x - Peripherals
Each of these peripherals has a module dedicated to them and each of these can exist on the C6x
Each of these peripherals has a module dedicated to them. (I don’t discuss this, but we don’t really have material on the timers - these are easy enough to figure out on their own from the specs). The main point here is to simply say that each of these can exist on the C6x and a one sentence description of their capability. I sometimes note that the EMIF is considered a peripheral - outside of the core CPU. Depending on the exact device (C6201 for example), the peripheral mix may change. Don’t get into too much detail on any one peripheral - unless the question is simple/quick to answer - again, we will have time to explore each of these later.

17. Clock Cycle x8 HIDDEN FOIL
If you have customers who are curious as to what we mean by “Clock Cycles” or MIPS rate, you may want to use this additional foil.
Better yet, go over this material using the white board.
Many people ask - so when you say “clock cycle” what do you mean? This is the def'n. It is the machine rate of the processor and this explains how we get the number. But depending on your system - you can choose any number you want by using a different CLKIN and PLL option.
