A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is capable of providing:
- very high performance
- low production costs
- low energy consumption
- real time operation
- high interrupt rates
- intensive numeric computations
for specific types of repetitive tasks such as Fast Fourier transforms, digital filters, pattern recognition, image processing and speech recognition.
They are key components for many types of applications, such as audio, video and multimedia peripherals, disk drives and image processing systems for medical and scientific applications.
