Using Curve Fitting to Calculate f(x) - by DSPStore Staff
Any function f(x) can be approximated graphically by a series of values along with intermediate slopes and intercepts (Figure 1) valid over specific ranges of the input variable x. Thus, to generate the value of f(x) for a given value of x, the algorithm must firstly determine the range occupied by the input value x and then calculate the output value y from the formula for a straight line. more>>   

Aggressive Power and Performance Optimizations in Next-Generation DSPs by Octaisic.

The ever-growing demand for rich, multi-media signal processing in mobile devices raises a chronic technology challenge. The challenge is to squeeze higher functionality and performance within increasingly tighter power and space constraints. As a result, power-performance metrics are now a central concern in DSP design. New methods have been devised enabling designers to address the main areas of power consumption – namely leakage power, clock trees, logic transitions, and power grids – to significantly improve performance compared to conventional techniques.  more>>

A Brief Introduction to Sigma Delta Converters by Intersil.

The sigma delta conversion technique has been in existence for many years, but recent technological advances now make the devices practical and their use is becoming widespread. The converters have found homes in such applications as communications systems, consumer and professional audio, industrial weight scales, and precision measurement devices. The key feature of these converters is that they are the only low cost conversion method which provides both high dynamic range and flexibility in converting low bandwidth input signals. This application note gives an overview of how a sigma delta converter works.  more>>
