What’s Arm doing in the DSP market?

by Richard Wilson - Electronics Weekly, Jun. 23, 2015 – 

Arm has not only revolutionised the embedded processor market in a way Intel could not have imagined 20 years ago.

It is also changing the very different world of digital signal processing (DSP).

Microcontrollers are not designed for real-time processing and so the DSP function has to be added.

Texas Instruments first added DSP elements to its microcontrollers back in 1997.

DSP added real-time signal processing which was used in audio and video processing and which has now become a must-have for motor control.
