DSP Media Processors - StarCore Family

Products

SP2704

  • Features four StarCore DSP subsystems for data plane processing and dual-core ARM11 MP RISC processors for  control plane and host processing.
  • Six megabytes of internal memory eliminates the need for external memory in many applications
  • Targets a wide range of next-generation wireless, wireline, and enterprise infrastructure applications with high channel density, optimal cost, and power efficiencies

SP2716

  • Features sixteen StarCore DSP subsystems for data plane processing and eight ARM11 MP RISC processors for  control plane and host processing
  • Twenty four megabytes of internal memory eliminates the need for external memory in many applications
  • Targets a wide range of next-generation wireless, wireline, and enterprise infrastructure applications with high channel density, optimal cost, and power efficiencies

Features

SP2704
