Superscalar DSP Operates At 200 MHz

Designed for communications infrastructure applications, the ZSP16401 high-performance, 16-bit, fixed-point DSP is based on the firm's 10X DSP architecture. Combined with an optimized C compiler, the IC lets engineers design next-generation applications quickly by reducing the time required for software development. Its powerful, yet flexible RISC architecture provides 400 DSP MIPS at 200 MHz, consuming less than 2W. The device can perform two 16-bit MAC operations with 40-bit result for an aggregate of 400 million MAC operations per second.
