[Legacy Report] System Design Using DSP Hardware

---

Design methodologies for systems, PCB’s, firmware, and software enable engineers to successfully achieve their design goals by following an appropriate plan. Products using DSP hardware and firmware algorithms present a variety of unique challenges. The talk covers types of DSP hardware currently used for low, medium, and high power applications (including solutions using multiple MAC’s) and design considerations engineers and managers need to take into account when planning product development using DSP’s.
The “System Design Using DSP’s” seminar covers:
• A review of common DSP Applications
• DSP hardware architectures used for low power, high performance, and multi-core products, including SOC platform solutions.
• ASIC solutions for unique applications including GPU’s.
• FPGA solutions using MAC IP and system modeling/VHDL code generation software for > 500 MACs in a single FPGA.
• Explains how quality is directly related to designing products that meet customer needs and expectations and completing projects on-time and within budget. Review of structured methodology concepts.
• Identification of unique development milestone considerations for using general purpose DSP’s including software development considerations, PCB analog and digital regions, LVDS controlled impedance, and DDR3 memory interface design considerations.
In addition, the talk describes the importance of positioning yourself for engineering innovation by planning continuing education on current technologies, standards, and practices to fuel creative thinking.
