The DSP is dead! Long Live the DSD... IP core!
Trying to trace DSP birth as a standard IC product, you come back to the early 80’s, when a certain Computer manufacturer named IBM has asked to a certain Semi-Conductor giant (at that time) named Texas Instruments if they could turn a lab concept, Digital Signal Processor, into a standard product that IBM could buy to TI, like they used to buy TTL or DRAM. At that time, IBM was TI’ number 1 customer, so TI said: “yes, Mr. IBM, I will develop the TMS32010 under your clever specification”. That was the beginning of a long story, still going on. I should say that the concept or digitally processing “signals” after their Analog to Digital conversion is still alive, more healthy than ever, as you may count several DSP being used in each smartphone, each cell phone and in many tablets, as soon as a modem is integrated…
