FPGA or DSP?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS3308

Hello there! People of the Audio Digital Processing..

I have a big problem!!! Jejeje. No. I have a problem. I want to work in ProAudio, and my question is, DSP or FPGA?

My idea is to improve the Audio Quality in several aplicattions. I have to work with THD, SNR and DA/AD Converters. I don't know if the FPGA works for these parameters.

How do I use the FPGA with the ADC/DAC?

Can I get a good sound quality with the FPGA? Or the DSP is better?

Someone can help me?

Vielen Dank!

Ariel,

You probably want to use a DSP. FPGAs are more expensive and generally more difficult to use for audio applications.

A family of devices that can provide a good intro into the world of digital audio is the TAS3x family of audio processors. These devices integrate ADCs and DACs and their DSP cores are programmable with the drag+drop PurePath Studio software.

Regards,

Mark

Thank you so much for your answer!!

I'll see these microprocessors. There is a Starter kit's for TAS3x?

I wanted to buy the OMAP-L137/TMS320C6747 Floating Point Starter Kit for audio applications, but now, i'll see the TAS3x.

Ariel,

Yes there are starter kits for TAS3x. I can suggest the low cost TAS3308 EVM available at http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tas3308evm-lc.html
