JAZZ DSP CORES

The Jazz DSP cores are highly optimized DSPs designed for general-purpose, fixed-point DSP programming. Whether you are replacing an existing DSP core or adding new DSP capabilities to your design, the Jazz DSP cores can get you to market quickly and efficiently. They are fully programmable and can support a broad range of DSP applications. The Jazz DSP cores are part of the broad Jazz family from Improv. The Jazz DSP family includes:

  • Jazz D1-16 and D1-32 Cores - 16- and 32-bit single slot VLIW processors for general DSP applications.
  • Jazz D2-16 and D2-32 Cores - 16- and 32-bit dual slot VLIW processors for general DSP applications.
  • Jazz D4-16 and D4-32 Cores - 16- and 32-bit 4 slot VLIW processors for general DSP applications.

Features

Implementation

The Jazz DSP cores can be run up to 200 MHz in 0.13u, technology. The cores are designed to allow different data and instruction memories to be integrated to give designers full flexibility in crafting an optimal core for their DSP application

  • Fully synchronous design
  • Silicon-proven in 0.18um and 0.13um technology
  • Advanced power management features
  • Hardware debug environment through JTAG port
  • Support for prioritized interrupts
  • Full scan with BIST for test
  • Boot-loadable firmware and smart-caching (Jazz Jukebox)
  • No custom physical components required
