Data buffer has dual multiplexer
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first 0- to 4-Gbps data buffer/signal conditioner with a dual multiplexer.
Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
Shay Mizrachi, Michael Lusig and Yuval Cassuto of Technion used TI's TMS320C5410 programmable DSP to create a real-time digital watermarking system for audio signals using perceptual masking.
With this technology, a signature can be embedded within the data of a signal, thus resolving multiple ownership claims to digital media.
The digital watermark is inaudible to the human ear and virtually undetectable and resistant to attempts to remove it.
In addition to student prizes, Nimrod Peleg, the advising professor of the Technion team, was awarded a cash prize of US$15,000.
"Winning TI's DSP and Analogue University Challenge is a great success for our team and Technion", said Shay Mizrachi, of the Technion team.
"We won $100,000 and gained very valuable hands-on experience working with TI's programmable DSPs, an experience that will help each of us as we continue to work toward our career goals".
"Technion's winning project is a prime example of the many applications that are made possible using TI's programmable DSPs", said Torrence Robinson, worldwide DSP University Programme Manager and Challenge coordinator.
"TI is committed to nurturing innovative thinking and creativity from students and will continue to support DSP education and research via programs such as the DSP and Analogue University Challenge".
In its third edition, TI's DSP and Analogue University Challenge received 241 entries from 730 students in 37 countries.
Other finalist teams included Rice University of Houston for their application that enables the transmission of real-time audio and video in wireless devices and National Taiwan University for their high-speed transceivers for wireless data communications.
TI representatives judged the submissions for their overall creativity, practicality and repeatability, difficulty, operability, completeness and professionalism.
