Product Description

The DSPMOD coprocessor board features the Agere DSP32C chip which offers 50 MHz, 25 Mflop floating point power with 24 bit address and 32 bit data buses for speed and accuracy.

The DSPMOD uses a 16 bit ISA bus interface to the DSP32C PIO that allows all of the on board memory to be accessed by the PC while the DSP32C is executing. The DSPMOD can be populated with 8 MB of SRAM memory and includes both parallel and serial interfaces. The 12.5 MHz 32 bit parallel interface is completely buffered to drive ribbon cables and provide system integrity. The serial interface is not plain RS232, but is instead a high speed serial connection to the DSP32C for interfacing with codecs and other serial I/O devices. A complete software package is also included so you have everything you need to begin developing applications immediately.

All the software you need to develop stand alone or integrated PC DSP32C applications comes with the board. This software includes an assembler, full screen symbolic monitor/debugger, C callable math library, and many graded examples to help you get started. Source code for the entire system is included and provides a base for developing custom applications. The PDF user manual includes circuit diagrams.
