1 min read

Cambridge Consultants has become the first authorised design centre for picoArray, picoChip's multicore digital signal processor.

“Cambridge Consultants has field proven expertise with picoArray, which includes helping us to create sophisticated reference designs,” says Rupert Baines of picoChip. “Our architecture offers a platform that can reduce costs and improve flexibility in many emerging applications, and Cambridge Consultants undoubtedly has the expertise to cut time to market for new users.” “The ability to dynamically configure DSP elements for application specific computation, and parallel processing, makes picoArray an exceptionally powerful solution for the complex processing stages involved in applications such as WiMAX and 3.5/4G,” notes Cambridge Consultants’ Tim Fowler. “Our understanding of the ways to exploit this processing architecture, combined with our in house software radio modelling and testing framework, allows us to provide expert support that can help define system architectures and shorten development projects." picoArray devices incorporate arrays of DSP elements, delivering extremely high performance. This makes them ideal for the computationally intensive tasks involved in advanced wireless signal processing.
