What are SHARC Processors?
1-2 Getting Started With SHARC Processors
enables the SHARC user to leverage legacy code and design experience,
while transitioning to higher-performance, more highly-integrated
SHARC products.
By integrating on-chip, single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) process-
ing elements, SDRAM, and I/O peripherals, SHARC processors deliver
breakthrough signal processing performance.
SHARC Applications
The combination of a high performance core surrounded by appropriate
peripherals, a large software library, and award-winning development tools
makes SHARC processors the ideal choice for audio and broad market
processor applications. Here are some applications:
• Home theater/digital home applications. The ADSP-21266,
ADSP-21365, ADSP-21366, ADSP-21367, ADSP-21467,
ADSP-21483, ADSP-21486, and ADSP-21487 processors enable
highly efficient software implementations of audio decode and
postprocessing algorithms, such as Dolby® Digital, Dolby Digital
EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS 96/24™ 5.1,
DTS-HD, DTS Express, MPEG-2 AAC LC, MPEG-2 BC 2ch,
Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic 2x, Dolby True HD, DTS
Neo:6, DDPlus DCV, Neural Audio, Audyssey room equalization,
and WMA Pro. Libraries of all standard—and many proprietary—
audio algorithms reside in on-chip ROM, eliminating the need for
external ROM.
• Professional audio applications. A number of third generation
(ADSP-2136x) and fourth generation (ADSP-2146x) SHARC pro-
cessors are well-suited for professional audio applications requiring
high processing power and advanced on-chip peripherals such as
sample rate conversion, S/PDIF transmitter/receiver, and BGA and
LQFP package options.
