In-Depth Analysis of DSP Chips

Comparing DSPs to “mathematical prodigies”: while ordinary CPUs (like MCUs) excel at multitasking (the “liberal arts students”), DSPs specialize in quickly solving complex equations (the “science students”), achieving “mental calculation abilities” through hardware acceleration (such as MAC units), making them suitable for the “high-intensity mathematics competitions” of real-time signal processing. 1. Core Functions and Architectural … Read more

How DSP Outperforms ARM in Certain Fields

Most embedded beginners know that Texas Instruments’ C2000 series DSPs are more suitable for applications in inverters and video processing than the STM32 series based on the Cortex-M core represented by STMicroelectronics. On paper, the Cortex-M series may have a clock frequency 2-4 times that of DSP chips, so what advantages does DSP have to … Read more
