DESCRIPTION
This lecture provides an introduction to DSP
architecture and applications, and compares DSPs with
microcontrollers. The embedded processor market, which includes
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Micoprocessor Units (MPUs), or
Microcontroller Units (MCUs), changes rapidly and every day we see
a newborn processor with a tremendous functionality and speed.
In this lecture, we'll briefly discuss DSP
architecture, some of the many applications it serves, and compare
the differences in the architectures, functions, and applications
of DSPs and MPUs/MCUs. This lecture does not consider any of the
mathematical formulas typically covered in similar lectures.
In this lecture, we'll concentrate on the
practical aspects of these devices.
PREREQUISITES
Participants should be familiar with the
following concepts: Microprocessor (MPU) and microcontroller (MCU)
architectures, Basic level real-time programming.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Computer Engineering students considering
entering the world of DSPs. Embedded Systems Engineers or
technicians desiring to increase their knowledge of micros or DSPs.
