System designers face a number of key questions during the architecture phase of their project. Increasingly one of these questions is whether to use an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or a DSP ...

Most wireless headphones and speakers rely on some type of digital signal processing. Here's what you need to know about DSP—and why it's hard to avoid. I've been a contributing editor for PCMag since ...

It can be argued that quality audio is the most critical component in the effectiveness of an AV system. More so than inadequate video or complex operation, unintelligible audio makes it very ...

Want to know what the competition is reading? Here are the most popular DSP articles of the year so far.

As digital signal processors pick up peripherals, you'll need to write new device drivers. Here are some time-saving tips for writing them for platforms based on DSPs. Digital signal processors (DSPs) ...

DSPs and FPGAs both offer advantages for signal processing. Here are the design guidelines you need to choose between DSPs, FPGAs, or a combination of the two. Topics covered include device cost, ...

Even as DSP is becoming more ubiquitousin embedded designs, according to BDTI's Jeff Bier, DSPs have becomemore invisible. Ironically, he says, as its importance has grown, the number of DSP chip ...
