The 16-bit Fixed-Point DSP is designed for system-on-chip applications. A highest degree of reusability is guaranteed by having a 100% technology independent design, synchronous and structured design rules and software support. The 16-bit Fixed-Point DSP is based on the architecture of the CD2450A from Clarkspur Inc. Optimized and enhanced for high performance, lowest power and efficient algorithm programming, the The 16-bit Fixed-Point DSP is an alternative to off-chip DSPs and existing technology dependent solutions. The wide application range goes from lowest power solutions like hearing aids, signal conditioning in sensors, over mid range audio applications (compression) to powerful control circuits.
