What's an A-DSP?

Started by Unknown July 2, 2005
Hi there,

I'm reading a paper at the moment which refers to an "A-DSP", and also
refers to "analog-to-digital signal processing circuit". What exactly
is this? Is it simply a ADC or is it a ADC and DSP board in one? This
device intefaces to a PC via an IO-board and its not clear if signal
processing takes place on the A-DSP or the PC.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Regards,

Cathal.

But not with a hyphen: A-DSP. Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

Why don't you give us some more context? Like several sentences around the usage of the unfamiliar terms.
