How DSPs are different from other microprocessors?
The DSP processor is a particular type of processor is a specialized microprocessor that has an architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing. The main difference between is that a DSP processor has features designed to support high performance, repetitive, numerically intensive tasks.
What is DSP chipset?
A DSP is a processor dedicated to number-crunching digital signals like audio. They're designed to perform mathematical functions like addition and subtraction at high speed with minimal energy consumption. DSP chips appear in a variety of sizes, prices, and performance points.
Why we need DSP processor?
DSP is used primarily in areas of audio signal, speech processing, RADAR, seismology, audio, SONAR, voice recognition, and some financial signals. For example, digital signal processing is used for speech compression for mobile phones, as well as speech transmission for mobile phones.
Is DSP software or hardware?
There are other popular DSP chips supported by hardware and software products for PCs, including Analog Devices' ADSP series. Most DSP hardware products come with software support, usually in the form of a library of DSP functions.
