Intel/Analog Devices' joint DSP design has crafted a new flexible ISA architecture. Analog Devices' (ADI's) BlackFin implementation delivers a 300-MHz, 16-bit DSP that supports dual MAC execution and ...

ARM9T Core The ARM9T family defines a set of RISC cores that are optimized to minimize cost and power dissipation. The family builds around the ARM9 Thumb architecture, a full ARM ISA also capable of ...

Although some µP vendors add multiply-accumulate (MAC) units to their devices to allow them to perform basic digital- signal processing, Hitachi grafts a complete DSP to the SH µP. The SH's DSP unit ...

ARC Cores is announcing this week an extension to its instruction set architecture(ISA) that allows for 16-bit instructions on its 32-bit processors. Phil Barnard, product manager at ARC, said: ...

The start of the much-anticipated death of 16-bit processors is upon us. Because of insufficient forecasted demand, March 30, 2007, is the final date that Intel will accept orders for its MCS51, ...
