With respect to Motorola, the 568xx family is most cost effiect for 16
bit signal processing, while the 563xx is generally better for 24 bit
processing.
The code generated for a family of processors is the generally same,
except for the number and addresses of peripherals. I would code it up on one
using an eval kit, and see how much RAM you need. Then, based on the price and
selection of DSP processors (i.e. how much RAM, Flash), you can make
the call of using internal or external RAM and Flash, and pick the part based on
what you need. The peripheral set can be important, if you need to control or
communicate with any special devices. Speed can be an issue too, although not as
likely in your case.

I decided to use 24-bit processing, so I think I would use DSP56364 (price: u$s4.00). Also, I need to have at least 256Kwords of external RAM because I am going to implement delay effects. I don't know if a cheap PC memory could be used connected to the DSP. Have any of you tried that?

Cheap PC memory is usually DRAM or SDRAM, which requires a fair number of
support ICs to do the refresh. You may be able to find an integrated DRAM
controller to help. At one time, a company called VIGRA did an audio DSP board
that used DRAM for mass audio storage, but again, there were a lot of support
ICs involved. You might be able to find their information on a web site
(they were bought out by a big miltary design house). The circuit board
number was something like MMI-105, MMI-210.
I would think that, in this day and age of cheap and very fast SRAM,
that you ought to be able to buy cheap SRAM, which usually connects to
Motorola DSPs easily. I used to do this with Analog Devices DSPs in the
late 90s when the price of a 32Kx8 SRAM dropped from around $3 to under a $1.

The 56364 has a DRAM controller on chip as well as SRAM support (as does most of the 56300 family). However, keep in mind the 56364 only has an 8-bit external data bus so some packing/unpacking may be required for your application. Also note that the most internal PRAM you can have is 1.25k. This may be plenty for your application but of the 5636x family it's by far the smallest... -- dB --- Kenneth Ciszewski <> wrote: > Cheap PC memory is usually DRAM or SDRAM, which requires a fair > number of support ICs to do the refresh.
