DSP-based vocoders use low MIPS and little memory
Moscow-based DSP specialist Spirit has announced the launch of a series of optimised proprietary vocoder solutions in the form of high-quality speech compression algorithms.
CST chip is based on TI's C5000 DSP platform and bundles 14 eXpressDSP algorithms compliant with ITU-T specifications.
The CST provides flexible modes of control and can optionally run software developed by the customer.
Lower power consumption and low-cost make CST chip a key choice when designing point-of-sale outlets, credit card and check verification systems, utility meters, security systems, industrial monitoring systems, payphones, appliance/gateways, building controls, and many others.
Available today, the CST developer's kit includes an evaluation board with the TMS320C54CST DSP and analogue DAA, external Flash, external SRAM, RS-232 serial interface and JTAG interface.
The reference design features all schematic and layout guidelines, the bill-of-materials list and all documentation.
