Introduction:

What Is DSP?

Digital
Operating by the use of discrete signals to represent data in the form of numbers

Signal
A variable parameter by which information is conveyed through an electronic circuit

Processing
To perform operations on data according to programmed instructions

Digital Signal processing


Changing or analyzing information, which is, measured as discrete sequences of numbers.

DSPs are a high-speed single chip microprocessor or microcomputer designed to perform


computer intensive digital signal processing tasks.

DSP ADVANTAGES

Advantages

The big advantage of DSP lies in the programmability of the processor, allowing parameters to
be easily changed.
Versatility
Digital systems can be reprogrammed for other applications (at least where programmable DSP
chips are used).

Digital systems can be ported to different hardware (for example a different DSP chip or board
level product).

Repeatability
Digital systems can be easily duplicated.
Digital systems do not depend on strict component tolerances.

Digital system responses do not drift with temperature.

Simplicity
Some things can be done more easily digitally than with analogue systems.

Advantages of designing with DSP over other architectures

 Multiple multiply-accumulate operations per cycles.

 Real time performance, simulation and emulation.


 Flexibility
 Reliability
 Increased system performance and reduced system cost

Advantages related to current uses of the DSP

 When you talk on the cell phone, DSP noise cancellation eliminates the echo
effect. It also means the voice you hear is very clear - no hum or static in the
background.
 The Internet runs faster, as DSPs at both ends of the wire process information at
blistering speeds.
 Videoconference calls will have full-motion video, instead of people moving like puppets.
 The storage capacity of a hard disk drive has more than tripled in the last 18 months.
The capacity of a single 3.5" disk platter is now more than 2 gigabytes (GB) compared
to 540MB in 1996.
 Read/write electronics featuring TI DSPs, and DSPS solutions, enable hard disk drive
designers to store more information with higher levels of drive performance-greater bit
density/capacity, higher data rates and faster access times.
 Entertainment is just now starting to go digital and this will drive huge DSP demand in
the next decade.
 Motors controlled by DSP will be more efficient, reducing the number of mechanical
parts and lowering the energy consumption in a huge variety of applications - home
appliances, automobiles, and industrial and commercial motors. Only a small percentage
of motors today use electronic motor controls - this represents a huge market
opportunity for DSPs (an estimated 1.4 billion motors will be manufactured in the year
2001).
 In health care, DSP solutions can enhance sight and hearing capabilities for those with
disabilities.

COMPARISION BETWEEN DSPS & MICROCONTROLLER

Difference Between Microcontrollers And DSPs

 Microcontrollers and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are the main engines of
the deeply embedded development world.

 A MICROCONTROLLER is a highly integrated chip which includes, on one chip, all or


most of the parts needed for a controller, is used to control some process or aspect of
the environment. The microcontroller could be called a "one-chip solution".
 DSPs are a high-speed single chip microprocessor or microcomputer designed to
perform computer intensive digital signal processing tasks.
 Microcontrollers are primarily used in control-oriented applications that are interrupt-
driven, sensing and controlling external events.
 DSPs, meanwhile, are traditionally found in systems that require the precision
processing of analog signals.
 Microcontrollers are inexpensive, small, and flexible.

DSP is larger, more expensive, and more specialized.
