01 Overview The PIL module is an optional add-on for PSIM software. It provides Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) simulation capabilities, where the power portion of the system is simulated in PSIM on a computer, while the rest of the system is implemented in C code running on DSP hardware. With the PIL module, you can easily test … Read more
Source: Tiger Says Chip Original Author: Tiger Says Chip This article introduces the functional architecture, classification applications, challenges, and trends of DSP chips. Comparing DSPs to “math prodigies”: while ordinary CPUs (like MCUs) excel at multitasking scheduling (the “liberal arts students”), DSPs specialize in quickly solving complex formulas (the “science students”), achieving “mental calculation capabilities” … Read more
On May 13, 2025, the “15th Songshan Lake China IC Innovation Summit Forum” themed “Embodied Intelligent Robots” was officially held in Dongguan Songshan Lake, hosted by Chipone Technology. At this forum, Mr. Lu Pengsheng, Senior Manager of the Real-Time Control Product Line at Zhuhai Jihai Semiconductor, introduced the high-performance, high-safety real-time control MCU/DSP aimed at … Read more

(1) Process Technology is a distinguishing standard for each generation of FPGA and is the primary metric for evaluating FPGA. As a type of digital chip, … Read more
To start with the conclusion: Simply put, the interrupt mechanism of the HX2000 is more flexible but complex, suitable for high-precision applications such as industrial motor control, whileCortex-M focuses more on ease of use and automated processing, making it suitable for general embedded control.First, let’s discuss the similarities: Firstly, the interrupt vector table mechanism: Both … Read more
DSP Digital Signal Processing, or 数字信号处理. In 1971, Intel released a microcontroller, also known as a microprocessor, which can be programmed to issue commands to data. These commands operate on the numerical calculations and movements within registers, such as adding or subtracting two numbers, or incrementing a number a thousand times, which is equivalent to … Read more
In data centers, pluggable optical transceivers convert electronic bits into photons, transmitting them to various corners of the room and then converting them back into electronic signals, making it a critical technology for controlling massive amounts of data in artificial intelligence. However, this technology consumes a significant amount of power. According to Nvidia, in a … Read more
Source: Tiger Says Chip Original Author: Tiger Says Chip This article explains why FPGA chips are not suitable for algorithm processing. 1. The Essential Positioning of FPGA – A Hardware Platform, Not a Conventional “Computer” FPGA’s greatest advantage is its hardware-level flexibility for customization. It is very suitable for implementing high-speed parallel circuits, custom interfaces, … Read more
(This article is adapted from SemiWiki) When discussing the bottlenecks faced by Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), the focus often lies on computational throughput—such as the number of Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) operations per second, the width of vector units, and clock frequencies. However, after engaging in-depth discussions with embedded AI engineers focused on real-time voice processing, radar … Read more
These chips are primarily used in the automotive field and can be categorized based on their functions and features into types such as System on Chip (SoC), Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), Digital Signal Processors (DSP), Microcontrollers (MCU), Radar Sensors, Clock Jitter Cleaners, Analog Front Ends, and Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) Controllers: System on Chip (SoC) Used … Read more
