Architecture and circuit design for DSP-ASIC

Abstract

The two alternative design approaches discussed in this paper are dedicated DSP architectures and the core processor based design methodology. By the development of area-efficient high resolution A/D converters, it has become feasible to integrate the analog interface on the same chip with the DSP operations. However, lack of an interdisciplinary high-level CAE environment tends to lengthen the design times of DSP-ASICs.<>
