Blackfin
Blackfin Processors are a new breed of embedded media processor designed by Analog Devices Inc specifically to meet the computational demands and power constraints of today's embedded audio, video, and communications applications. Based on the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) jointly developed with Intel Corporation, Blackfin processors combine a 32-bit RISC-like instruction set and dual 16-bit multiply accumulate (MAC) signal processing functionality with the ease-of-use attributes found in general-purpose microcontrollers. This combination of processing attributes enables Blackfin Processors to perform equally well in both signal processing and control processing applications-in many cases deleting the requirement for separate heterogeneous processors.
