This is the sixth module of the BORES Signal Processing DSP course - Introduction to DSP.
This module introduces the common features of DSP processors and shows how these relate to, and arise from, the requirements of typical DSP applications. The treatment of DSP processors is introductory and not intended to serve as a comprehensive review: also, the treatment tends to a programmer's model rather than a thorough hardware treatment for hardware designers. The aim of this module is to convey an understanding of what makes DSP processors special, and of what to look for when evaluating one chip against another. It covers the following subjects:
