need help for choosing DSP-development boards
Hi to all!
i'm new here and i really need help for my project... so i have a DSP-project from my professor for analyzing an analog signal..
the analog signal is about 5-10 MHz
the AD Converter should have 10-20 MHz sample rate
the DSP-card has sufficient clock rate
the data transfer between them an PC also need to be fast enough
well i have include the block diagram for the application... my friend had suggest to use MCU MSP430 from TI for the ADConverter and DSP-card TMS320, but it doesn't do right to this project...and i'm really confused in how to choose the development boards between black fin, sharc and sigma dsp.. or perhaps there's another suitable way?
thanks before
Ali

Hi Dalle,
Apologies for the delay in response to this thread.
All our Blackfin and SHARC processors have on-chip UART controllers that supports very high baud rates which can be used for communication with the PC. It would be helpful if you can provide us the application requirements from the DSP end (in terms of on-chip memory, MIPS, peripherals etc) and more details about the application that will run on the DSP. This will help us to suggest a suitable processor for your application.
Please find below a basic introduction to our SHARC, Blackfin and SigmaDSP processors.
SHARC processors - The SHARC Processor family dominates the floating-point DSP market with exceptional core and memory performance and outstanding I/O throughput. For as little as 319 MFLOPS/dollar, SHARC brings floating-point processing performance to applications where dynamic range is key.
Blackfin processors - Blackfin 16/32-bit embedded processors offer software flexibility and scalability for convergent applications: multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing, multimode baseband and packet processing, control processing, and real-time security.
SigmaDSP Audio processors - SigmaDSP digital audio processors enable anyone to use a fully programmable audio DSP that is easily configurable through the SigmaStudio Graphical Development Tool. This DSP is specifically targetted for audio applications.
Please find below the links to the product pages of the Blackfin, SHARC and SigmaDSP family processors which has complete information about the individual processors in the respective families.

We also have an Embedded processing and DSP selection guide that has the information about the various features of our Blackfin and SHARC processors along with Benchmarking.. This will be really helpful for choosing a specific processor for your application. Please use the below link to access this selection guide.

Regarding the AD Converter,
We have A2D convetors that offer very high sample rates (upto 80MSPS). The below link can be used to access complete information about our A2D convertors.
