"old news":Intel and Analog Devices demo DSP architecture By Darrell Dunn, EBN Apr 17, 2001 (9:10 AM) URL: ebnews.com In consecutive weeks, development partners Analog Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. have conducted the first public demonstrations of the companies' new DSP architecture. At the Intel Developer Forum in Tokyo on Tuesday, Intel completed a demonstration of what it calls the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) operating at 340-MHz, providing what the company said is evidence of its ability to reach levels of 400-MHz and above once the technology is integrated into a platform for wireless handsets, as soon as late this year. Analog Devices' demonstration last week at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco was intended to show the ability of what it calls the Frio architecture to operate within its C compiler development environment. “The silicon is coming out a little faster than expected and it demonstrates the performance headroom we know we'll need in the future as we target next-generation communications standards in 3G, such as wideband CMDA,” said Dennis Sheehan, director of marketing for Intel's wireless communications division. Sheehan said that given the known restraints of the demonstration board used at IDF, the performance of 340-MHz at 1.3 volts provides evidence of the architecture's ability to scale to performance of greater than 400-MHz when voltage is increased to 1.6 volts. Intel plans to combine the MSA core with its ARM-based XScale microprocessor, flash memory, and other peripherals to create its Personal Internet Client Architecture for 3G handsets and related handheld personal appliances. “We said we would announce more details on these products later this year, and we are right on track,” Sheehan said. Analog Devices is expected to use the Frio architecture in both embedded system-level designs as well as in stand-alone standard DSP offerings
