چکیده
This paper describes an application specific signal processor (ASSP) designed for miniature, ultra low-power, audio signal processing applications. The ASSP includes a high-fidelity weighted overlap-add (WOLA) filterbank, a 16-bit DSP core, two 14-bit A/D converters, a 14-bit D/A converter and a flexible set of peripherals. This design excels in applications that require efficient frequency-domain processing of one or two audio signals.

Ultra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
متن کاملLow power digital signal processing
This thesis introduces a novel approach to programmable and low power platform design for audio signal processing, in particular hearing aids. The proposed programmable platform is a heterogeneous multi-processor architecture consisting of small and simple instruction set processors called mini-cores as well as standard DSP/CPU-cores that communicate using message passing. The work has been bas...
متن کاملUnified Theory of Speech : Speech Processing for the Hearing Impaired and Beyond
This paper presents some speech processing algorithms that were originally developed for hearing aid applications. However these algorithms are also applicable for other speech and audio applications. Considering that the basic properties of speech remain invariant across applications, it is logical to consider these algorithms under the broader umbrella of ‘unified theory of speech.’ These alg...

متن کاملWP 22.1 A Micropower Programmable DSP Powered using a MEMS-based Vibration-to-Electric Energy Converter
An ultra-low-power programmable DSP for sensor applications enables systems to be powered by ambient vibration. The three-chip system shown in Figure 22.1.1 consists of a MEMS transducer that converts vibration to a voltage delivered to a conversion IC. The conversion IC creates a stable power supply that provides energy to the sensor DSP load. The system exploits ambient mechanical vibration a...
