Blackfin Embedded Processors

Blackfin® 16-/32-bit embedded processors offer software flexibility and scalability for convergent applications: multiformat audio, video, voice and image processing, multimode baseband and packet processing, control processing, and real-time security.

SHARC Audio Processors/SoCs

Featuring the Analog Devices SHARC^® and SHARC+^® digital signal processing (DSP) core technologies, the SHARC audio processor portfolio offers deterministic and very low processing latency with best-in-class MIPS/mW performance. The SHARC processor family dominates the floating-point DSP market with exceptional core and memory performance and outstanding I/O throughput. With multiple product variants and price points, SHARC brings real-time floating-point processing performance to many applications where dynamic range is key.

Many processors feature FIR/IIR hardware accelerators to offload common digital signal processing algorithms from the core, thus freeing the core to perform post-processing algorithms in parallel, making them the ideal choice for real-time audio applications. The broad SHARC+ SoC portfolio provides performance scalability up to 1GHz and a variety of on-chip memory configurations and peripheral mixes. For complex peripherals such as Ethernet and USB, some SoCs feature an integrated ARM core to handle running stack software and other microcontroller tasks.

SigmaDSP Audio Processors

SigmaDSP® processors are fully programmable, single chip audio DSPs that are easily configurable through the SigmaStudio™ graphical development tool, and are ideal for automotive and portable audio products. SigmaDSP chips are available with integrated sample rate converters, A/D converters, D/A converters, and output amplifiers.
