System designers face a number of key questions during the architecture phase of their project. Increasingly one of these questions is whether to use an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or a DSP ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) crunch the numbers for applications that require fast analog-to-digital-to-analog conversion, such as software-defined radio and radar. If you weren't using a DSP, you ...

DSPs are purposely built to make short work of complex calculations. You'll find them in your CD player, radio, and cell phone. Motor controllers depend on them for efficient operation. They adjust ...

Delivering the Industry's First Radiation-Tolerant FPGAs with Embedded Radiation-Protected Multiply-Accumulate Blocks for Designers of Space-Flight Systems MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- September 01, 2009- ...

Eleven new pre-engineered digital signal process algorithms and tools and several new embedded DSP features have been developed for the next-generation Virtex-II architecture. The eleven new ...

Designed for use in imaging PCs, the Sea of MMACs systolic data flow image processor uses a lattice of 49 morphology, multiply and accumulate cells (MMACs). The chip provides a peak performance of 98 ...

Many electronics and digital products use digital signal processing (DSP)algorithms in them. Before any algorithm gets into theproduct, an optimization process is appliedto it. The optimizationprocess ...

In considering the design option for DSP vs. FPGA it is helpful to compare both architectures in a FIR filter application, writes Reg Zatrepalek One of the most widely used digital signal-processing ...

Georgia Institute of Technology has used analogue processing to squeeze a 3.12Top/W (average) artificial intelligence processor onto a CMOS (55nm) chip, consuming only 690μW (1.2V), and aimed at ...
