Blackfin: Measurement, Architecture features & Peripherals

Blackfin is a family of hybrid 16/32-bit microprocessors developed, manufactured and marketed by Analog Devices. The processors have built-in, fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) functionality performed by 16-bit multiply–accumulates (MACs), accompanied on-chip by a 32-bit microcontroller. It was designed for a unified low-power processor…
