Exploring DSP and FPGA Co-Processing Architectures
Given the advancements in performance, peripheral mix, video-hardware acceleration and implementation techniques, it is possible to use DSPs in high-definition video applications. For computationally intensive tasks, however, you may need an FPGA. In their article, “HD-Video Encoding with DSP and FPGA Partitioning” (EDN, 26 April 2007), TIers Cheng Peng and Thanh Tran discuss how to implement both co-processing architectures. Read their article now.

A Single-Ended Solution
Digital amplifiers offer great flexibility for signal routing because the signal remains in the digital domain until it is almost at the speaker. TI Marketing Manager Kevin Belnap focuses on the engineering trade-offs of single-ended design in his article, “Single-Ended Design with Digital Amplifiers” (Audio DesignLine, 21 March 2007), with a focus on the TAS5086/5142 evaluation module from TI.
