Overview
The ADSP-21160NCBZ-100 is a member of the ADSP-21160x SHARC® Digital Signal Processor (DSP) family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This 32-bit DSP is optimized for high-performance digital signal processing applications. The ADSP-21160N, specifically, is fabricated in a 0.18 micron CMOS process, offering higher performance and lower power consumption compared to its counterpart, the ADSP-21160M. The processor is application source code compatible with first-generation ADSP-2106x SHARC DSPs in SISD (single instruction, single data) mode, although some code changes are necessary to leverage its SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) capabilities.
