The DSP56374 supports digital audio applications requiring sound field processing, acoustic equalization, and other digital audio algorithms. The DSP56374 uses the high performance, single-clock-per-cycle DSP56300 core family of programmable CMOS digital signal processors (DSPs) combined with the audio signal processing capability of the Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (formerly Motorola) SymphonyTM DSP family, as shown in Figure 1. Significant architectural enhancements include a barrel shifter, 24-bit addressing, and direct memory access (DMA). The DSP56374 offers 150 million instructions per second (MIPS) using an internal 150 MHz clock.
