DSPs Illuminate New Avenues in Mobilecom for Texas Instruments

摘要

The shift from analog to digital formats in electronics opened a new range of possibilities in features and functions. It also piqued interest in a new kind of processor. Digital signal processors (DSP) handle a diverse range of functions in today's digital equipment. Models for cellular phones in particular have continued to evolve as the phones have moved beyond basic voice communications. The newest terminals handle tasks like data exchanges, image downloads, and the ability to connect to the Internet. In Japan, for instance, the number of subscribers to cellular services that allow Internet connection continues to grow much faster than anyone originally anticipated.
