Danville’s dspblok™ DSP Modules have highly integrated DSP cores that are easy to incorporate into embedded applications. Each dspblok includes a DSP, USB coprocessor, flash, eeprom, and switching power supplies for the core power supply.

Danville Signal has been manufacturing dspblok DSP modules for a long time. You can still use dspbloks based on the fourth generation devices (ADSP-214xx). We also have many newer designs based on the much faster fifth generation parts (ADSP-215xx). We recommend that all new designs and most existing designs migrate to the dspblok 215xx boards. Danville engineers are available to help you with this transition. 

The USB port is available as a control interface for your application program. It is also used as a programming interface for Danville's dspBootloader program. You can program the dspblok without needing a special programmer or ICE.

Danville's dspblok DSP Engines are largely pin-compatible. This allows your application to use the most appropriate solution without requiring changes to your companion hardware.
