A DSP has been added to the Blackfin family by Analog Devices. The ADSP-BF592 has 800 MMACs/400MHz of performance, allowing developers to run sophisticated algorithms. It is designed for compute-intensive applications that operate without the need for external memory or executable flash. According to the company, it consumes 80% less power than comparable devices, with active power draw down to 88mW at 300MHz. Standby power is less than 1mW. The DSP is packaged in a 9x9mm, 64-lead LFCSP and can be used portable medical products; audio devices; imaging products, such as CMOS-sensor-based 2D barcode scanners; and smart metering products in smart grid applications. Peripherals include two SPORTs, a PPI, two SPIs, four general purpose counters and a factory-programmed instruction ROM block containing the VDK RTOS and C-runtime libraries. The DSP is offered in commercial and industrial temperature grades and is automotive-qualified. , the BF592 is feature- and cost-optimized for compute-intensive applications that operate without the need for external memory or executable flash. An EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kit is available for the DSP .
