摘要

Edn recently interviewed Denis Labrecque, marketing- programs manager at Analog Devices. In the interview, Labrecque sounds off on DSPs' past, present, and future in audio, graphics, and imaging. He provides his perspectives on competition within his company's product line; against other DSP suppliers; and versus other silicon-based processing architectures, such as CPUs and FPGAs. The following is an excerpt of that interview.
