Power vs. performance: The ultimate DSP design challenge
If a clock tree falls in the forest of synchronous high-speed DSP designs, do any necessary computing functions fall with it? No, argues Doug, who makes the case for axing the clock tree to reduce power consumption by up to 40 percent in a high-performance processor.

Programmable logic: The key to effective interface design
Ideally, OEMs should be able to get exactly the interfaces they need, without the cost and drawbacks of buying a fully-featured DSP.
