Opus DSP Architecture

Opus is Octasic's high-performing, ultra low-power, asynchronous DSP technology optimized for basestations, video processing and media gateway solutions.

Asynchronous designs deliver similar computing performance to synchronous designs, but use less silicon and less power.

  • No clock tree
  • No state-elements
  • Less sensitive to process and temperature variations
Synchronous and Asynchronous Designs

Development Environment & Tools
Opus is a fully programmable DSP core, supported by Opus Studio. Opus Studio is a complete suite of development tools including a C compiler, profiler and debugger. Opus Studio is a robust graphical development environment with a very short learning curve that enables developers to re-target their legacy code very quickly to this powerful platform.

Vocallo MGW Octasic's expandable DSP media gateway solution, is based on Opus. It includes optimized voice and video instructions to ensure efficient processing for media applications. For more information on Vocallo MGW, click here.

Vocallo BTS Octasic’s fully integrated DSP sub-system optimized for Layer 1 GSM/EDGE basestation applications, is based on Opus. It implements complete Layer 1 baseband functionally for a combination of up to 12 GSM carriers or 6 EDGE carriers. For more information on Vocallo BTS, click here.
