Digital signal processors (DSPs) – Applications
DSPs bring computing performance, real-time processing, and power efficiency to diverse applications ranging from sensors to servers. What can you do with digital signal processors? Look below for solutions on a variety of DSP applications.
Avionics and defense
TI's commercial processors, including single and multicore Arm®, DSP, and Arm®+DSP, are well-suited to defense and avionics applications including radar, electronic warfare, avionics, and software defined radios (SDR). Our processors feature industrial temperature ranges, ECC on on-chip memory, secure boot, security features. Software support includes mainline Linux, TI RTOS, and most commercial RTOSes.
Size Weight and Power (SWAP)
Many applications in defense and avionics have tight size, weight and power requirements and require optimized SoCs which can deliver the required performance within the allotted SWaP budget. TI is focused on delivering the most performance-per-watt using standard Arm® cores and TI C66x DSP cores to create scalable device families from single core to multicore, heterogeneous SoCs.
