{wiki=Digital_signal_processor}
A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for processing digital signals in real-time. DSPs are optimized for the mathematical operations required in signal processing tasks, such as filtering, audio and speech recognition, image processing, and various control applications. \#\#\# Key Characteristics of DSPs: 1. **Architecture**: DSPs often have a modified architecture that supports fast arithmetic operations, such as multiplication and accumulation, which are critical for signal processing algorithms.
