Texas instruments inc. Offers the industry`s first floating-point digital signal controllers [dscs]. Named tms320f2833x, the devices provide 300 million floating-point instructions per second performance at 150 mhz while providing the lower costs typically associated with fixed-point processors.
Simplified software development common to floating-point processors. This floating point dscs performance boost allows solar power inverters to more efficiently convert energy from photovoltaic panels, and offers better power efficiency and performance to variable-speed alternating current drives and greater performance to automotive radar applications.
