Analog Devices Blackfin ADSP-BF70x digital signal processors

Analog Devices (ADI) has released the Blackfin ADSP-BF70x digital signal processor (DSP) family. The high-performance series delivers 800 MMACS of processing power at less than 100 mW.

The eight-member processor family includes up to 1 MB of internal SRAM, eliminating the need for external memory in many applications while also offering an optional DDR memory interface. The range offers designers flexibility and functionality through an array of connectivity options, such as USB, SDIO, CAN, ePPI, SPORT and QuadSPI, while extending the life of battery-driven devices by enabling low-power applications through the bus.

The processors are suitable for a wide array of markets, from automotive, industrial and control applications to instrumentation, video/image analysis and biometrics.
