Analog Devices is offering network-enabled Blackfin DSPs designed for embedded audio, video and communications applications.
The ADSP-BF534, BF536 and BF537 processors and the BF566 eM30 eMedia Platform are aimed at the next generation of embedded, network-connected applications.
Designed for IP set-top boxes, the media processing and networked capability of the Blackfin BF566 eM30 can be used in set-top boxes supporting advanced codecs such as H.264 and VC1 as well as legacy codecs such as MPEG-2.
The ADSP-BF534 processors’ system peripherals include an integrated CAN 2.0B controller, a Two Wire Interface controller, two UART ports, an SPI port, two serial ports, two external DMA request lines, nine general-purpose 32-bit timers (eight with PWM capability), a real-time clock, a watchdog timer, 48 general-purpose I/O pins and a Parallel Peripheral Interface.
The ADSP-BF536/537 further extends the feature set by adding an integrated IEEE-compliant 802.3 10/100 Ethernet MAC and an enhanced DMA system for high network-bandwidth capability.
Blackfin Processors are supported by the firm’s Crosscore tools product line, which consists of the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment, EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kits, EZ-Extender daughter boards and emulators.
Available today, the ADSP-BF534 is available at 400MHz and 500MHz, the ADSP-BF536 is available at 300MHz and 400MHz, and the ADSP-BF537 is available at 500MHz and 600MHz.
