Analog Devices Adds Pipelined Vision Processor to its Blackfin DSPs

Analog Devices introduces ADSP-BF608 and ADSP-BF609 Blackfin DSPs featuring a high performance video analytics accelerator, the Pipelined Vision Processor (PVP). The PVP is comprised of a set of configurable processing blocks designed to accelerate up to five concurrent image algorithms, enabling a very high level of analytics performance. These processors are ideal for many applications such as automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), industrial machine vision, and security/surveillance systems.

BF609 PVP supports HD resolution, while BF608 PVP only supports VGA.
