Waves of DSP Innovation
FIRST WAVE… TELECOM
- Digitizing the phone system
- Modem data rates accelerating
- 1.2Kbps to 56Kbps
- DSL, Cable modems, 802.11
- Digital cell phones
SECOND WAVE… ENTERTAINMENT
- More performance
- Power dissipation issue
- Combined with telecom to create streaming media
- More personal more portable
WHAT IS THE THIRD WAVE?

Bringing New Quality-of-Life to
Applications Such as Artificial Vision
16 pixels:
Provides the
ability to see
the difference
between night

Video Analytics: the Key to Safety and Privacy
 Too many cameras,
not enough people!

People are ineffective
at monitoring video for
extended periods of time

Video analytics needed
to help operators do their job
more effectively

Without intelligence,
video surveillance is
a passive tool

Agenda
A bit of history
A look into the future
Beyond
Two Interesting Emerging Areas
 Energy harvesting (scavenging)
 Moving to the third dimension
 Heterogeneous multi-processing
 Stacked die
Perpetual Devices

Power scavenging will be the source of energy
 Solar
 Heat
 Vibration


Integrated batteries will backup the source of
energy
Ultra-low powered devices will include the
 Digital circuits
 Analog circuits
 RF circuits
 Sensors
Heterogeneous Multi-processor SoCs



As we drive toward hundreds
of processors on chip with
more performance and less
power, the possibilities are
limitless
With the ability to integrate
Billions of transistors on a
circuit, the rest of the system
will find its way onto the SoC
Integration will next take on
the third dimension
