Analog Devices' Blackfin® BF50x processors are designed to deliver unmatched price/performance and system integration, which attributes for advanced power and industrial control applications, extending high-performance digital signal processing capabilities to a wider range of feature-rich applications. With optional integrated analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and flash memory. Blackfin BF50x processors enable designers to realize new levels of computational precision to ensure greater energy efficiency for industrial applications.

Blackfin BF50x processors deliver up to 400MHz of processing performance at a price point where 150-200MHz clock speeds have been the norm. This performance profile equips designers to achieve greater system functionality and precision through the use of more sophisticated algorithms, and enables a number of system-level design objectives, including real-time processing of more data, reduced latency, consolidation of processing tasks to a single processor, and greater flexibility to optimize system interface and control capabilities.
