INTRODUCTION Digital signal processors such as the TMS320C31 are just like fast microprocessors with a specialized instruction set and architecture appropriate for signal processing. The architecture of a digital signal processor is very well suited for numerically intensive calculations. These processors are used for a wide range of applications from communications and controls to speech and image processing. They are found in music synthesizers cellular phones fax modems etc. They have become the product of choice for a number of consumer applications since they can be very cost-effective. DSP techniques have been very successful because of the development of low-cost software and hardware support. For example applications such as modems and speech recognition can be less expensive using DSP techniques. Furthermore general-purpose digital signal processors can handle different tasks since they can be readily reprogrammed for a different application. While analog-based systems with discrete electronic components such as resistors can be more sensitive to temperature changes 1 2 Digital Signal Processing Development System DSP-based systems are less affected by environmental conditions such as temperature. Books and articles have been published that address the importance of digital signal processors for a .
