Tensilica - the Stealth DSP Company

Everybody's DSP requirements are different. Instead of trying to figure out how to squeeze your requirements into a DSP core that doesn’t quite match your needs, Tensilica gives you lots of choices - as a matter of fact, Tensilica offers an almost unlimited range of DSPs. How can we do this? You can pick from several pre-defined function blocks in our ConnX DSP family, including the fastest DSP core ever benchmarked by BDTI (the ConnX 545CK), which is based on our powerful ConnX Vectra DSP Engine. You can pick our pre-defined audio and video solutions. You can pick our highly capable 4G baseband engine (the ConnX Baseband Engine). You can pick our efficient, dual-MAC ConnX D2 DSP. Or you can design your own to exactly match your application.

Tensilica's DSP families

Tensilica's wide range of DSP solutions

No matter what Tensilica solution you choose for your DSP functions, remember that it's based on our 32-bit Xtensa RISC processor, so you can often also use it for control functions. And we provide complete software compiler support so you can program your DSP in C, not assemly code.

Tensilica’s DSP solutions include:

For 4G Complex Baseband Receivers and Demodulation Units:

The Atlas LTE Reference Architecture:

The Fastest DSP Core (benchmark proven!):

  • The ConnX 545CK is a turn-key DSP that topped BDTI’s benchmarks - it combines a base CPU controller with the quad-MAC ConnX Vectra LX DSP plus acceleration instructions for common communications DSP tasks

To Add to Your DSP SOC Design

  • The ConnX D2 DSP engine is a basic dual-MAC DSP with outstanding compiler support for programs written in C as well as TI C6x and ITU-T intrinsic functions.
  • The ConnX Vectra DSP engine is the powerhouse behind the ConnX 545CK - and you can add it to your design with the click of a mouse.
  • See our page on customizing your own DSP

For Audio DSP:

  • HiFi 2 Audio Engine – a 24-bit dual-MAC fixed-point DSP – a click-box option for the configurable Xtensa LX2 processor
  • 330HiFi Audio Processor – a standard audio core employing the HiFi 2 Audio Engine
  • Over 50 audio and voice codecs ready to deploy
  • Or you can design your own customized audio or voice processor using the full power the Tensilica’s Xtensa Processor Generator

For Video DSP:

  • 388VDO Video Processor – a standard core for D1 video encode/decode with H.264 Main Profile decode and other software codecs
  • Or you can design your own customized video pre-or-post-processor using our customizable Xtensa technology.
