Digital signal processors
Digital signal processors (DSPs) are used in voice recognition
systems, computer video applications such as interactive compact
disc,
complex mathematical calculations, music synthesis, as well
as in more standard bits of equipment such as disk controllers and
modems. They allow the high-speed processing of digital signals
from audio, video, and other sources.
DSPs are microchips optimized to carry out, at high speeds and
with a high degree of accuracy, complex numerical calculations.
They incorporate a number of enhancements to increase the
processing speed. These may includ ...
