Compact DSP as fixed-point licensable cores are high-performance, low-power consuming and cost-effective Digital Signal Processing Cores used in a wide range of applications, from low-end & high-volume applications to high-performance applications.

In order to meet most application requirements, Compact DSP are comprised of general micro- controller and co-processor features accompanied by powerful DSP functionality.

Compact DSP are process-independent and easily implemented using any ASIC library.

The cores are designed to be used as engines for DSP embedded application-specific ICs (ASIC) and available as DSP cores in standard cell libraries, intended to be used as part of users¡¯ custom chip designs.

They provide several levels of modularity in RAM, ROM and I/O, allowing for efficient DSP embedded ASIC development. The cores support Emulation, Debugging and Testing via an emulating port.

Licensee can benefit form using Compact DSP as follows;

-Code compatible : allowing re-use of legacy code and significantly shorter time to market

-Low power consumption

-High code density : reducing chip cost

Compact DSP include the following advanced Windows, Graphic User Interface(GUI) and

Command Line Interpreter(CLI).

- Assembler

- Linker

- Instruction set simulator

- Hardware emulator

- Debugger
