[Editor's note: For an intro to fixed-point math, see Fixed-Point DSP and Algorithm Implementation. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a surprisingly ...

There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...

Freescale Semiconductor has added floating point capability to its QorIQ Qonverge B4 range of DSP-based system-on-chip devices. The B4420 and B4860 are the first devices in the family to include ...

Today’s digital signal processing applications such as radar, echo cancellation, and image processing are demanding more dynamic range and computation accuracy. Floating-point arithmetic units offer ...

Last year, I was at the decision point. I needed to select a processor for the next version of Critical Link's MityDSP “custom-off-the-shelf” CPU platform—basically a collection of integrated building ...
