Abstract

Digital signal processors (DSPs) have become a key component for the design of communications ICs. Application customization leads to key market advantages but also to enormous problems of having too many different DSPs and their software development tools. First, by analysis of the problem open issues are pointed out. Then, a possible solution named CATS (Concept for Application Tailored Signal Processors) is presented, which allows for customization without the generation of too much heterogeneity in hardware and tools
