The communications sector has been showing strong growth with basestations turning to high-performance digital signal processing in response to increased demand for high-bandwidth mobile data communications, said Jim Lindop, CEO of Jennic.
The processor features dual triple-rate serializer and deserializer functions for real-time audio and video processing with automatic frame accurate Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC), enabled by the ultra high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities of the Virtex-5 SXT platform.
Blackfin BF50x processors deliver up to 400MHz of performance at a price point where 150-200MHz clock speeds have been the norm, extending high-performance digital signal processing capabilities to a wider range of applications, including those previously serviced by high-end microcontrollers.
About MAC Ltd MAC Ltd is an established developer of radio solutions and high-performance digital signal processing algorithms across multiple wireless standards.
The increasing demand for high-performance digital signal processing has led designers to a combined DSP processor and FPGA co-processor architecture," said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing.
These two new products, along with products previously announced VPX by VMETRO, provide high-performance digital signal processing capabilities for a wide range of demanding Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications.
