What are SHARC Processors?
enables the SHARC user to leverage legacy code and design experience, while transitioning to higher-performance, more highly-integrated SHARC products.
By integrating on-chip, single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) process- ing elements, SDRAM, and I/O peripherals, SHARC processors deliver breakthrough signal processing performance.
SHARC Applications
The combination of a high performance core surrounded by appropriate peripherals, a large software library, and award-winning development tools makes SHARC processors the ideal choice for audio and broad market processor applications. Here are some applications:
•Home theater/digital home applications. The ADSP-21266,ADSP-21365,ADSP-21366,ADSP-21367,ADSP-21467,ADSP-21483,ADSP-21486, and ADSP-21487 processors enable highly efficient software implementations of audio decode and postprocessing algorithms, such as Dolby® Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS 96/24™ 5.1, DTS-HD, DTS Express, MPEG-2 AAC LC, MPEG-2 BC 2ch, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic 2x, Dolby True HD, DTS Neo:6, DDPlus DCV, Neural Audio, Audyssey room equalization, and WMA Pro. Libraries of all standard—and many proprietary— audio algorithms reside in on-chip ROM, eliminating the need for external ROM.
•Professional audio applications. A number of third generation (ADSP-2136x) and fourth generation (ADSP-2146x) SHARC pro- cessors are well-suited for professional audio applications requiring high processing power and advanced on-chip peripherals such as sample rate conversion, S/PDIF transmitter/receiver, and BGA and LQFP package options.
