Processors & Microcontrollers

Processors & Microcontrollers

Our Processors and Microcontrollers support a myriad of general-purpose and application-specific needs.

The Processors include audio processors/SoCs, embedded processors, and digital signal processors featuring our floating-point (SHARC+, SHARC, and TigerSHARC) and fixed-point (Blackfin, SigmaDSP, and ADSP-21xx) DSP cores with a variety of peripheral mixes. The SoCs integrate an Arm® core to support complex peripherals like Ethernet and USB.

The Microcontrollers include mixed-signal control processors and analog microcontrollers built around 32-bit Arm and 8-bit 8052 core technologies. The broad portfolio includes on-chip options such as A/D and D/A conversion, flash memory, power management, and digital accelerators/filters to satisfy system requirements and simplify designs.

DSP & Processors

Digital signal processing (DSP) is a key requirement in a variety of industries and applications. We offer an assortment of digital signal processing solutions for applications including automotive, portable, motor/power control, security, test and measurement, and beyond to help you meet your design needs. Our processor portfolio provides scalable low-latency audio performance, featuring large on-chip SRAM with many options including on-chip ASRCs and multi-channel IIR/FIR/FFT accelerators to facilitate real-time audio processing. System connectivity includes TDM/I²S, Ethernet, MLB, CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, and many others, making them a fit for a wide variety of embedded applications.

Microcontrollers

Analog Devices microcontroller units (MCUs) can be used in a multitude of IoT processing applications. They allow analog and digital sensing for interpreting capabilities with built-in ADCs, DACs, and temp sensors for precision sensing applications. Some of these MCUs can be powered by a single coin cell battery with on-board power management, along with embedded memory and security features to help protect our customer’s IP. These microcontrollers can be used in industrial, automotive, and instrumentation applications, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as Smart Agriculture, Smart Building, Smart City, Smart Factory, and Smart Health.
