Hi, i am using TI-C6452 DSP of 720MHz. The DSP has the peripherals FPGA ,DDR2. I want to reduce the slew rate or driver strength to control the GPIO I/O, especially for EMIF.Do some one know any bit corresponding to slew rate or driver strength in any of the specs of the TI DSP? or is there any method to do it? Regards, Ramana.

It may be called a drive current -- reducing the drive current will reduce the slew. Putting a series resistor at the processor pin should reduce EMI and well as reducing reflections. Check to see if TI has posted a white paper about EMI and that series of chips. -- www.wescottdesign.com

Decreasing both slew rate and driver strength is an inherent chip issue, or a board issue. -- www.wescottdesign.com

Reducing the strength of the driver will reduce the rate at which it can slew. Were you thinking of slew time, as I did when I first read the OP's post? The series resistor seems like a good suggestion. With the circuit capacitances, it might not take much resistance. Of course, an analog low-pass filter may not be hi-tech enough to please. :-) Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get.

Series resistances on digital outputs is a pretty common way to condition high-speed lines in digital circuits. So much so, that some manufacturers started controlling the impedance on the output drivers of their chips. It's very handy when you have a 300 pin FPGA not to need a sea of 0402 resistors that takes almost as much board space as the active part they're supporting. -- www.wescottdesign.com

Standing waves don't radiate. In the *old* days we put in series resistors to reduce the ringing and noise during switching that was causing unwanted logic transistions as the ringing passed through the level threshholds (we called irt making the signal look good).

Not many of the MCUs have that. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com
