DSP Card Targets Compute-Intensive Applications

    Nov. 1, 1998

    A high-density coprocessor solution with four 1600-MIPS DSPs on a single, full-length PCI plug-in card, Quatro62 132-Mb/s PCI bus-based card is well-suited for real-time image processing, noise cancellation, telephony, and data reduction applications. Each of the card's TMS320C6201 fixed-point DSPs support a linear address space into which 16 MB of SDRAM and 1 MB of SBRAM are mapped. Each DSP can communicate with the other three DSPs using a dedicated 32-bit DMA-driven 100-MB/s bidirectional communication port.
