An advanced semiconductor device integrates an innovative suite of byte- and packet-level manipulation capabilities designed to offload DSPs of specific bandwidth-intensive tasks.

Integrated Device Technology has developed the industry's first off-the-shelf preprocessing switch (PPS) for digital signal processor clusters Optimised for wireless baseband processing applications and utilising the Serial RapidIO interconnect, the IDT 70K2000BR PPS is an advanced semiconductor device integrating an innovative suite of byte- and packet-level manipulation capabilities designed to offload DSPs of specific bandwidth-intensive tasks

This offload can accelerate each DSP within a cluster by up to 20%, thereby enabling the processors to focus on other compute-intensive functions related to meeting the requirements of next-generation wireless infrastructure design.

The PPS is the first in a series of forthcoming IDT products designed to offer a complete data-acceleration sol
