Editor language: The other day, ADI Corporation general DSP department inspector general Colin Duggan indicated during the interview: ¡°we will pay attention to the electrical energy transformation and the intelligent electric instrument domain in the future, these domain's growth will actuate ADI the DSP service the development.¡±

Duggan estimated that the market is huge to the electrical energy efficiency promotion aspect's demand, Chinese 3G will only start in the short 3 years will construct 300,000 base depots. Because the base depot energy consumption occupies the entire mobile communication network energy consumption 90%, reduces the base depot the energy consumption to become the energy conservation to reduce a row of key point. The green base depot's call gradually is at present high, raises the 3G base depot power source transfer efficiency to become the correspondence profession the mutual recognition. Along with communication's renewal, the base depot data volume of goods handled grows day by day, processes more data by the lower energy consumption the need high performance processor, may use the fast processing complex task the algorithm to raise the energy transfer efficiency, thus optimizes each tile performance index.¡¡

Some time ago, the United States Department of Energy announced the American intelligence electrical network related standard, has integrated intelligent intelligent standards and so on between the electric instrument and foundation network's data exchange, electrical bill real-time notice. But the Chinese Country Electrical network Company announces the intelligent electrical network plan for the first time, proposed ¡°the strong intelligent electrical network¡± explicitly development project. The electrical network intellectualization will lead the terminal electric instrument to renew, hold intelligence electrical network investment very great proportion. Duggan quotes east the Chinese Academy of Science chief energy question expert wuhan construction the words proof intelligence electric instrument market potential: From 2009, China invests greatly in the intelligent electrical network aspect, needs to renew 1,000,000 above transformer substations, some 3,000~5,000 ten thousand electric instrument change is the intelligent electric instrument, impels in the world the biggest unified electrical network system to realize the electrical network technology promotion by stages.¡¡

Transforms the domain with the power source to be the same, the intelligent electric instrument is also an emphasis high performance DSP market, but Duggan pointed out specially, this domain's user pays attention to the DSP performance-to-price ratio. Duggan disclosed: ¡°ADI will further enhance in the future the chip integration rate, composite signal processing, Flash and the new connection will integrate DSP.¡± the regional power line correspondence standard varies, programmable DSP melts¡¡ the near future, Simens will copy the table information system to announce that automatically has selected the Blackfin gathering type processor, this system by will chase a second survey based on Blackfin way gathering real-time to use electricity the data, may realize the minute time interval cost; This system can also through the power line transmission, realize between the measuring appliance and electrical network's correspondence, monitors in the electrical network to use electricity the situation and the data transfer to the control center.¡¡

¡°the reason that Simens selects BlackfinBF531 besides to have on the big piece the memory, the low power loss, another substantial clause lies in this processor to support programmable.¡±Duggan explained that Simens chooses the ADI in-depth the reason, ¡°Simens's staple market in Europe, but the present European Union has not unified regarding the power line correspondence's standard, the different national power line correspondence may have the different change, therefore Simens needs to support the double standards the intelligent electrical network. But using Blackfin programmable characteristic, even if after electric instrument establishment installment still carried on the change to support the different power line correspondence standard.¡±In addition, not can only satisfy the present design requirements based on the Blackfin intelligent electric instrument, it has also prepared for the next generation technology renewal. Along with the future standard's development, these applications only need then download through the electrical network to based on the Blackfin measuring appliance part, realizes the seamless transmission.
