Hi Jaime The ADSP-21xxx series (e.g. 21060, 21065, 21160) are 32-bit floating + fixed point processors, whereas the 21xx series are fixed point only. This has implications on how easy it is to write efficient code for the processor. For e.g., using a fixed point processor, one would have to be careful not to saturate registers when performing multiplications (e.g. filtering applications). The general rule seems to be: fixed point processors are cheaper, and less power hungry, so they should be considered if you plan on mass-production / low power consumption. Otherwise, floating point processors are easier to use (less development time). A top-of-the range fixed point processor can run at 600MHz, vs. a top-of-the-range floating point processor at 80-100MHz, but it may need to perform extra operations to prevent registers from saturating when, for example, multiplying two large numbers, so MHz is not the only concern. The ADSP-21160 is the most powerful floating point processor of those that you mentioned, with 4Mbits of internal memory - >= all the others you mentioned.
