Sejian Corporation offers ADI's new dual-core processors, BLACKFIN ADSP-BF606/BF607/BF608/BF609

ADI recently introduced a series of dual-core, 1GHz processing power Blackfin processors. The ADSP-BF608 and ADSP-BF609 are optimized for embedded vision applications and both feature a high-performance video analytics accelerator called a Pipeline Vision Processor (PVP). PVP consists of a set of configurable processing blocks designed to accelerate up to five parallel image algorithms for extremely high analytical performance. These processors are ideal for many applications, such as advanced automotive driver assistance systems (ADAS), industrial machine vision, and security/monitoring systems.

The ADSP-BF606 and ADSP-BF607 are PVP-free processors designed for flexible useA variety of different general purpose digital signal processing applications such as wireless communications, industrial process control, and grid monitoring/protection.

Each of the four new processors features two 500MHz cores and the largest amount of on-chip memory in the Blackfin family, and is optimized for low-power operation. Other features optimized for low power consumption include new high-bandwidth data exchange structures, rich peripherals, and security features. Low power consumption offers many benefits, such as high-temperature operation, smaller size, and lower system cost. The ADSP-BF609 consumes 400mW in typical power.

Jeff Bier, founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance (www.Embedded-Vision.com), said: "Embedded vision technology makes electronics smarter and more responsive. Vision algorithms require very high computing power and vary widely. Therefore, high-performance, cost-effective programmable processors are critical for these applications. Analog Devices has introduced a powerful architecture for embedded vision applications, and I applaud Analog Devices for its courage to lead the market. ”

Colin Duggan, Director of Marketing at Analog Devices, said: "This PVP accelerator can perform more than 25 billion mathematical operations per second, and its combination with two Blackfin cores provides the foundation for a powerful and flexible processor. Our goal with these new Blackfin processors is to enable advanced analytics at an affordable price and at very low power consumption, enabling a wider range of embedded vision systems. ”
