SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Seeking to strengthen its position in the consumer product arenas, Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd., of Tokyo, has licensed TeakLite, a 16-bit general-purpose DSP core from DSP Group Inc. Oki also holds a license for DSP Group's OakDSPCore.

The TeakLite DSP core is designed for low-power, low-voltage and high-speed DSP applications, such as wireless communication, modems, advanced telecommunication systems and embedded-control applications.

Integrating the DSP Group core technology with its in-house mixed-signal capabilities will enable Oki to enhances its System LSI offerings in applications where high-performance signal processing is required, according to the company.

"We believe that TeakLite, with its low power and high-performance capabilities, will become a key ingredient in the design of many Oki Silicon Platform Architecture (SPA) LSI solutions," said Tetuzo Taniguti, general manager of Oki's LSI division.
