Low Power Blackfin with Consumer Devices Connectivity

The ADSP-BF512 / ADSP-BF514 / ADSP-BF516 / ADSP-BF518 processors are members of the Blackfin® family of products, incorporating the Analog Devices/Intel Micro Signal Architecture (MSA). Blackfin processors combine a dual-MAC state-of-the-art signal processing engine, the advantages of a clean, orthogonal RISC-like microprocessor instruction set, and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture.

The processors are completely code compatible with other Blackfin processors.
