Quickfilter will demonstrate the MSP-Mojo, a target board for the TI eZ430 USB Development Tool at the TI Developer's Conference in Dallas, TX, March 7-9, 2007.

The MSP-Mojo target board features a 512 tap embedded single-channel precision digital filter chip, the QF1D512 Simple and Versatile FIR engine (SavFIRe).

The FIR engine allows MSP430 MCU developers to perform precision digital filtering for applications that include vibration monitoring, audio filtering and medical patient monitoring.

Previously, this type of precision filtering would have required a higher performance, higher power processor.

The MSP-Mojo target board features the QF1D512 SavFIRe chip acting as a filter coprocessor that offloads the filtering task from the MSP430 MCU and increases available bandwidth of the signal source.

The SavFIRe chip also reduces power draw and simplifies coding.

An expansion header with header pins included lets users connect to a target system, application breadboard or QF1D512-DK Development Kit, which is available directly from Quickfilter Technologies.

The TI Developer's Conference brings together the top companies from around the world in the digital signal processing industry.

Sessions and speakers alike will provide a glimpse of what's in the future for high-performance analogue, digital signal processing and microcontrollers.
