The DSP32 digital signal processor and its application development tools

The WE® DSP32 digital signal processor is a high-speed, programmable, VLSI circuit with 32-bit floating-point arithmetic. The device can be used cost-effectively in a wide variety of complex digital signal processing applications, such as speech recognition, high-speed modems, low bit-rate voice coders, multichannel signaling systems, and signal processing workstations. In this paper, we review the architecture of the DSP32 and present its instruction set, including some examples. We also discuss the software and hardware support tools that are available for developing DSP32 applications.
