The Cadence® Tensilica® ConnX BBE32EP enhanced performance digital signal processor (DSP) core establishes a new standard in high-performance, low-power digital signal processors specifically designed for high-performance baseband processing. Optimized for complex number processing, the Tensilica ConnX BBE32EP core offers significant improvements in maximum frequency and algorithmic performance while reducing both silicon area and power consumption versus earlier generations of DSPs. The ConnX BBE32EP is the first DSP truly suitable for inclusion in both infrastructure and user equipment applications. Easily optimized through check box options, the Tensilica ConnX BE32EP along with the larger Cadence Tensilica ConnX BBE64EP provides unprecedented flexibility in implementing systems at power consumption levels that significantly reduce the need for hardware accelerators.
