1. Multiprocessor
design for SoCs
The biggest advantage of using multiple processors as SoC
task blocks is that they're programmable, so changes can be made
in software after the chip design is finished. This means that complex
state machines can be implemented in firmware running on the processor,
significantly reducing verification time More...

2. Back
to the Basics: Ensuring efficient DSP power management
DSP applications fall into two large groups with respect
to power: line-powered systems, such as those used for communications
infrastructure, and portable systems powered by batteries. Although
performance requirements tend to dominate in the first group, there
are power constraints that cannot be ignored. More...

3. One design fits all
These new system-level or platform FPGAs allow designers
to create standard hardware designs that they can tweak as new requirements
emerge or that they can reconfigure for different applications.
For high-performance projects with parallel computation requirements,
a single platform-FPGA-board design may replace a chassis full of
conventional computer boards. More...

4. ASIC
makers piece together their options
Under potentially lethal stress from spiraling investment
demands, dwindling design-start numbers and escape-velocity growth
in complexity, industry executives are plugging together pieces
any way they can in an attempt to come up with something that looks
like an attractive business model. More...

5. TI Fellow
predicts 'third-wave' of DSP innovation
The potential of DSPs for new innovations in security, focus
on both security and protecting privacy. As an example of potential
DSP-enabled innovations, he described the possibility of a network
of home security cameras that could recognize residents of the home,
alert residents when an unfamiliar person was inside, but not threaten
individual privacy by recording or broadcasting images. More...

Technology
Showcase
The embedded device driver
provide sequenced instructions to the controller for power
up, initialization, configuration, control and power down.
The driver takes into account hardware design of the LCD,
controller as well as the DSP, and provides a comprehensive
Chip Support Library (CSL) to make use off all the features
of the LCD Read
