- 2. Digital Signal Processor---- Definition A digital signal processor (DSP) is an integrated circuit designed for high-speed data manipulations, and is used in Audio Communications image manipulation Other data-acquisition and Data-control applications.
- 3. How Digital Signal Processing Works 1. To explain how digital signal processing works, you must understand the difference between analog and digital signals. 2. Analog signals, which include sound intensity, pressure, light intensity, etc., are continuously variable. 3. Each of our senses is sensitive to different kinds of analog signals. 4. Our ears are sensitive to sound, our eyes are sensitive to light, and so on. 5. Once we receive a signal, our sensory organs convert it to an electrical signal and send it to our analog computer (the brain).
- 4. How Digital Signal Processing Works 6. Our brains are very powerful parallel computer whose performance currently is unmatched by any digital computer. 7. Our brains not only analyze the information received, but also make decisions using this data. 8. Digital signals are those that are transmitted within or between computers, in which information is represented by discrete states –
- 5. How Analog and Digital Signals Work Together
- 6. How Analog and Digital Signals Work Together Digital technology such as personal computers (PCs), assist us in many ways: writing documents, spell checking, and drawing. Unfortunately, the world is analog, and electronic analog computers are not as versatile as digital computers. Therefore, in order to make use of the tremendous processing power that digital technology offers us, we must do the following: Convert the analog signals into electrical signals, using a transducer (such as a microphone, as shown in the diagram). · Digitize these signals (i.e., convert them from analog to digital using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)), as shown in the diagram.
- 7. Why Do We Need Digital Signal Processors?
- 8. Why Do We Need Digital Signal Processors? Add and Subtract Add and subtract operations are performed quite simply by general-purpose microprocessors in a single or very few clock cycles. Digital addition is similar to decimal add. Our example shows adding 1 plus 2. The result is the decimal 3. Multiply and Divide The multiply and divide operations are more complex. A digital multiply operation consists of a series of shift and add operations. example shows a multiplication of 3 & 5. General-purpose microprocessors are quite slow in performing multiply and divide operations. They will typically sequentially execute a series of shift, add, and subtract operations from their microcode i.e. to perform a single multiply operation, it may consume many cycles to complete The DSP performs multiplication in a single cycle by implementing all shift and add operations in parallel.
- 9. What’s Inside DSP (Elements of DSP)
- 10. • Program Memory: – Stores the programs the DSP will use to process data • Data Memory: – Stores the information to be processed • Compute Engine: – Performs the math processing, accessing the program from the Program Memory and the data from the Data Memory • Input / Output: – Serves a range of functions to connect to the outside world
- 11. Types of Architecture Harvard Architecture Von Neumann Architecture Super/ Modified Harvard Architecture
- 12. Von Neumann Architecture Memory Instruction & Data Address Bus CPU Data Bus
- 14. Which Architecture is Best Suited for DSP? 1. Common general-purpose personal computers use processors designed with the von Neuman architecture while the Harvard architecture is more commonly used in specialized microprocessors for real-time and embedded applications. 2. DSPs typically use Harvard architecture, although von Neuman DSPs also exist. 3. Many signal and image processing applications require fast, real-time machines. 4. The drawback to using a true Harvard architecture is that since it uses separate program and data memories, it needs twice as many address and data pins on the chip and twice as much external memory. Unfortunately, as the number of pins or chips increases, so does the price.
- 15. Which Architecture is Best Suited for DSP? An elegant solution: A single data and address bus is used externally. Two (or more) separate buses for program and data are used internally. Timing (multiplexing) handles the separation of program and data information. In one clock cycle, the program information flows on the pins, and In the second cycle, data follows on the same pins. Program and data information is then routed onto separate internal program and data buses. Such machines are called modified Harvard architecture processors because the internal architecture is Harvard external architecture is von Neuman. Also Multiple internal RAM/ROM cells for high-use instructions and data.
