MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- DSP Group selected the DesignWare ARC EM5D processor for its
combined high-efficiency control and signal processing
capabilities
- DSP Group's DBMC2-TWS integrates powerful hybrid ANC processing
with advanced audio features in a single, compact, low-power
device
- Scalable family of DSP-enhanced ARC EM processors can be
tailored for the optimal balance of performance, power consumption,
and area
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced
that DSP Group, Inc., a leading global provider of wireless and
voice-processing chipset solutions for converged communications,
selected Synopsys DesignWare® ARC® EM5D
Processor IP for its high-efficiency control and signal
processing capabilities to enable development of its DBMC2-TWS
advanced adaptive processing audio codec for true wireless stereo
(TWS) headsets. To dynamically configure settings and filter
parameters on-the-fly, the DBMC2-TWS integrates an ARC EM5D
processor, abundant internal memory and numerous digital
interfaces.
The processing capabilities of the ARC EM5D enable the
deployment of advanced sound processing features, such as adaptive
active noise cancellation (ANC), user ear placement
characterization, and smart ambient awareness control. This allows
the headset to autonomously respond to changes in product fit or
the ambient sound conditions. DSP Group also leveraged the
DesignWare ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit to ease digital signal
processing (DSP) software development for its audio and voice
processing SoC.
"DSP Group is dedicated to the design of SoCs and supporting
algorithms that enable the unification of voice, audio, video, and
data connectivity for mobile, enterprise, consumer, and IoT
devices," said Dotan Sokolov, CVP,
Head of R&D at DSP Group. "In the case of our DBMC2-TWS
solution, the scalability and efficiency of Synopsys' DSP-enhanced
ARC EM processors give us the flexibility to meet extreme power,
size, and performance demands, while also providing the
cutting-edge features and capabilities required to stay ahead of
the competition in an exciting hearables market that is expanding
rapidly."
The DSP-enhanced ARC EM processor family, which includes the
EM5D, EM7D, EM9D, and EM11D processors, implements a scalable
pipeline that offers an optimal balance of performance, power
consumption and size for a range of control and DSP applications.
Like all ARC processors, the DSP-enhanced EM processors are highly
configurable so that each instance can be tailored to achieve the
optimum balance of DSP and RISC performance. ARC Processor
EXtension (APEX) technology offers designers the ability to create
user-defined instructions, enabling the integration of custom
hardware accelerators that improve application-specific performance
while reducing power consumption and memory footprint. The
DSP-enhanced ARC EM processors are supported by the DesignWare ARC
MetaWare Development Toolkit, a complete suite of tools for
developing, debugging and optimizing software targeted for ARC
processors, which includes an enhanced C/C++ compiler supporting
the 150+DSP instructions available for efficient algorithm
development.
"Next-generation voice and audio processing applications require
the lowest power consumption to be competitive in the market,"
said John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and
strategy for IP at Synopsys. "Synopsys' DSP-enhanced DesignWare ARC
EM Processors deliver highly efficient processing with
increased bandwidth for control and DSP tasks, enabling companies
like DSP Group to extend the battery life and deliver
differentiated functionality in their products."
