Cell phone manufacturers are pressed to provide status LEDs that alert users to messages waiting, impending appointments, and other notifications while the phone is in standby. At the same time, users demand longer battery life. This pair of seemingly simple issues presents manufacturers with a dilemma: how can they power notification LEDs while keeping standby consumption low?
Digital signal processors bring the benefits of home theater to cars, supplanting radio/CD players with multimedia systems, where DSPs enable excellent audio performance and flexibility—and a powerful multimedia experience for passengers. A new approach to minimizing system noise and power consumption uses the SigmaDSP® processor and the SigmaStudio™ graphical development tool.
