Fundamentals of Designing with Semiconductors
for Signal processing Applications: DSP and Embedded Processing
This webcast will describe the basics of Digital Signal Processing and
DSP architectures, the heart of the signal chain. This session will
introduce you to Analog Devices' portfolio of digital processors and how
they are used in different market segments and applications. You will
also be introduced to ADI's hardware and software tools.

Avnet Electronics and Analog Devices have partnered to offer a webcast
that features the Blackfin BF506F processor for industrial applications.
This webinar provides an overview of the value, control and signal
processing that this processor and its industrial feature-rich
peripheral set capabilities bring to industrial applications. The
webcast also features a motor control development platform from Boston
Engineering that highlights processor capabilities for motor control.
Viewers of the webcast are eligible to purchase a BF506F EZ-Kit for a
discounted price of $99 (regularly $195).

The Latest News and Resources on Processor and DSP solutions
from Analog Devices
Industry Leading Blackfin® Embedded Processor Now Available
for < $2 |
|
The
ADSP-BF592 Blackfin processor delivers 400 MMAC at 200 MHz core clock
speed and is a new price/performance point for a broad range of
cost-sensitive applications. Featuring active power draw as low as 51 mW
and a tiny 9mm × 9mm 64-lead LFCSP package, the new 200 MHz model
makes integrating high performance digital signal processing even more
practical for many power and cost-constrained applications in the
industrial, healthcare, video, audio and general-purpose markets. The
BF592 is in full-production and available for sampling/ordering. Learn more

$99 Development Platform |
|
An EZ-KIT Lite® evaluation kit for the
Blackfin ADSP-BF592 is being offered for a discounted price of $99 (normally $199) until
December 31, 2011, available from ADI's authorized distributors. The kit
includes an evaluation suite of ADI's VisualDSP++ development
environment with the C/C++ compiler, assembler and linker. ADI also
offers a $150 Blackfin emulator (ADZS-ICE-100B), which provides
designers with a comprehensive development platform that lowers the cost
of entry to the Blackfin BF592. In addition, a complementary selection
of ADI's power ICs, data converters, sensors and signal conditioning ICs
are available for optimizing processor and overall signal-chain
performance.

Blackfin® BF50X Series Processors with 400
MHz Core Clock Speed, Extensive Peripheral Sets |
|
The ADSP-BF504, ADSP-BF504F and ADSP-BF506F Blackfin processors with up to 400 MHz (800 MMACS) performance and 68KB L1 Memory are now available from ADI and its distributors. These products are ideally suited to industrial and instrumentation applications, and portable Consumer and Healthcare equipment. They feature low power dissipation, two three-phase PWM units, an ADC Control Module, two SPI's, two SPORT's, a CAN controller, a PPI, eight general purpose counters and a Removable Storage Interface. The BF504 is the low cost entry point into the BF50x family within the Blackfin portfolio of processors. The BF504F adds a 4MB executable flash and the BF506F adds both a 4MB executable flash and a true 12 bit dual SAR ADC with an ENOB of 11+. These products are all supported by the BF506F EZ-KIT Lite evaluation platform. For more information
