Considerations in the use of a dedicated VLSI DSP chip for real time signal processing

Considers the hardware, software and the system architecture of the Motorola DSP56001. A Macintosh IIx is the 'Host' computer system used in software development. The possible potential of the DSP56001ADS as an instrument for teaching and as a research tool are investigated. Much of the discussion focuses on the DSP56001 VLSI DSP chip, on the available software tools and how they facilitate system development.<
