<marketing blurb>
|
Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally
|
suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary -
|
multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and
|
packet processing; control processing; and real-time security. The Blackfin's
|
unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it
|
widespread adoption in convergent applications.
