In summary, a programmable DSP is a device that can be programmed and is typically used for digital signal processing tasks. It takes in signals like voice audio and converts them into digital form. It contains memory, counter instructions, and is usually programmed with specific software tools. It is essentially a microprocessor with additional hardware features for signal processing. It is recommended to do some research on the topic before asking specific questions.

programmable dsp means the device that can be programmed

programmable device take signal like voice audio , this signal converted into digital form

programmable device is processor or micro controller ?

does it contain memory counter instruction which software tool is used for programmable device?

some one tell me about what is programmable dsp

There is this really nifty facility on the Internet called "Google Search". You would do well to learn how to use it. It will give you plenty of information on such questions. Just google "programmable dsp".

Where, ironically, you will now find this thread at number 14 of the results (if you used the quotes).

It is basically a microprocessor that has certain extra hardware facilities that are useful for performing the operations that are common in digital signal processing (like multiply and shift). Please do the search that has been suggested to you, and feel free to ask specific questions once you have done that reading.
 

1. What is a DSP?

A DSP, or digital signal processor, is a specialized microprocessor designed to efficiently process and manipulate digital signals, such as audio and video.

2. What makes a DSP programmable?

A DSP is programmable because it can be configured to perform a wide range of signal processing tasks through the use of software instructions.

3. How is a DSP different from a general-purpose processor?

A DSP is specifically designed for signal processing tasks and therefore has features and instruction sets optimized for this purpose. General-purpose processors, on the other hand, are designed for a variety of computing tasks and are not as efficient at signal processing.

4. What are some common applications of DSPs?

DSPs are commonly used in audio and video processing, telecommunications, control systems, and digital image processing, among others.

5. How is programming a DSP different from programming a general-purpose processor?

DSP programming requires knowledge of specific instruction sets and algorithms that are optimized for signal processing tasks. It also requires a deep understanding of the signal being processed and how it can be efficiently manipulated. Programming a general-purpose processor, on the other hand, may involve a broader range of programming languages and concepts.
