The objective of this book is to provide DSP system designers with the knowledge needed to select an appropriate data converter for a specific DSP system of interest, and to provide the know-how for the implementation and optimization of computationally intensive signal-processing algorithms on the family of TMS320C6x DSP processors. It is written for those who are already familiar with DSP concepts and are interested in designing DSP systems based on TI data converters and TI C6x DSP products. It can be used as a self-study guide for designing C6x-based DSP systems.
