Abstract

The papers describe the features, the architecture and a few applications of the PINE DSP core. PINE is a 16-bit Digital Signal Processor designed for portable telecommunications and consumer electronics products requiring smart power management. It enables low-cost, low-power DSP processing with several levels of modularity n the RAM, ROM and I/O, permitting efficient DSP-based ASIC development. PINE´s modular design approach allows the same DSP core to be used for various applications
