Battery-powered multimedia systems challenge designers to pack enormous signal-processing power into a low-power chip. The V830 chip achieves this by combining a special instruction set and fast, 32-bit parallel multiply-adder with internal RAM for quicker memory accesses. This gives the newest entry in the V800 series signal-processing capabilities as fast as the latest fixed-point DSPs.
