Blurb

Since the emergence of the first commercially successful digital signal processors in the early 1980s, the programmable DSP market has burgeoned. Designers can now select from a vast array of specialized processors with powerful signal–processing capabilities. DSP Processor Fundamentals presents an independent, comprehensive introduction to DSP processor technology. A thorough tutorial and overview of DSP architectures, this book incorporates a broad range of examples that illustrate DSP features and capabilities. This book is especially useful to electronic systems designers, processor architects, engineering managers, and product planners. Topics covered include:

• Numeric formats
• Data paths
• Memory structures
• Instruction sets
• Execution control
• Pipelining
• On–chip peripherals
• On–chip debugging facilities
• Clocking options
• And more!
