Blackfin: DSP and Controller

The Blackfin® processor contains the functions of a signal processor as well as those of a microcontroller. Together with the possibility of glueless integration with a lot of memory and peripheral devices this opens a wide field of applications in industrial and consumer electronics.

A single Blackfin can replace two processors in many applications, the DSP (digital signal processor) and the controller. For very demanding applications there is even a dual-core chip available.

Blackfin Services

Due to the long-standing design experience of our staff we possess a broad portfolio of competencies for successful digital signal processing design: systems, software and hardware.

From mathematical formula to code: We produce signal processor code from your algorithms, be they defined as block-diagrams, formulas or simulations (MATLAB/ Simulink). We have done this for control systems, audio signal processing) image processing or communications.

There is Linux respectively uCLinux support for Blackfin available and therefore all advantages of a real operating system can be used. This opens up new possibilities, especially in conjunction with dual-core processors.

Analog Devices Collaborative

Solcept AG is a member of The Collaborative the third party program of Analog Devices for embedded processor & DSP applications. So we can provide you with an optimum service for Blackfin and other Analog Devices processors (e.g.SHARC).

Realized Blackfin Development Projects

In all those areas we have experiences and references, this is an extract from our digital signal processing (DSP) project portfolio:

Hardware development of a camera DSP board from the schematic to the prototype
Software and hardware of a demonstrator using two dual-core Blackfin
Complete development of a RCID receiver: algorithms, software, electronics
