The announcement strengthens 3L’s multiprocessor design flow targeting TI digital signal processors (DSPs) and offers tighter integration between 3L’s Diamond multiprocessor tool suite and the TI portfolio of DSPs as well as Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) integrated development environment (IDE).
CEVA Announces Functional Silicon for TeakLite-III DSP Core
CEVA, Inc. [(Nasdaq: CEVA); (LSE: CVA)], a leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores, announced the availability of fully-functional silicon for the 32-bit CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP core. The first chips were produced on SMIC’s 90nm process and exceeded 600MHz. SoC developers can leverage the newly available silicon to dramatically reduce the risk, design effort, development cost and time-to-market associated with designing a wide range of wireless, consumer and portable products addressed by the CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP core.
Tensilica Debuts Digital Radio Mondiale Decoder for HiFi 2 Audio DSP
Tensilica,® Inc. announced the immediate availability of the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) decoder on its popular HiFi 2 Audio DSP, which can be easily integrated into system-on-chip (SOC) designs. The implementation is based on software developed by Dolby and has passed Dolby’s certification procedure. Now designers of digital radio systems can use one processor core — Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio DSP — to run all decoders required throughout the world for digital radio, enabling a universal worldwide digital radio receiver. Tensilica’s HiFi 2 Audio DSP already has support for four other terrestrial and satellite standards: DAB, DAB+, HD Radio, and XM Radio.
Texas Instruments Launches TMS320C6457 Digital Signal Processor
Developers of data-intensive signal processing applications will benefit from the increased performance and value provided by the new TMS320C6457 digital signal processor (DSP), available at speeds of 1.2 GHz and 1 GHz from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN). The C6457 delivers up to 30 percent more performance at one-third less the cost of current single core DSP processors from TI. This performance lift is due to several memory and cache enhancements, while the cost reduction is achieved through a smaller process node. These improvements provide system savings, greater efficiency and increased design flexibility for networking, military, imaging and industrial markets, in applications such as medical imaging, radar, industrial vision systems and test equipment.
Texas Instruments Introduces TMS320DM365 Digital Media Processor
Developers can now deliver pixel-perfect images in their digital video designs without concerns for video format support, network bandwidth or system storage capacity limitations with the new TMS320DM365 digital media processor based on DaVinci[tm] technology from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN). The DM365 includes production-qualified H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MJPEG and VC1 codecs, an integrated image signal processing (ISP) solution for intelligent video processing capabilities and a suite of on-board peripherals, saving developers up to 25 percent on their system cost.
