) is a high-perfor-
mance processor specially designed for Internet appliance applications, such as
Internet telephony (Voice-over-Internet Protocol 鈥?VoIP). The AT75C320 is a derivative
version of the AT75C310. The device is built around an ARM7TDMI microcontroller
core running at 40 MIPS with two DSP co-processors running at 60 MIPS each 鈥?all
three processors delivering unmatched performance for low power consumption.
In a typical standalone VoIP phone, one DSP handles the voice processing functions
(voice compression, acoustic echo cancellation, etc.), while the other one deals with
the telephony functions (dialing, line echo cancellation, callerID detection, high-speed
modem, etc.). In such an application, the power of the ARM7TDMI allows it to run the
VoIP protocol stack as well as all the system control tasks.
Atmel provides the AT75C320 with three levels of software modules:

a comprehensive set of tunable DSP algorithms for modems and voice
processing, specially tailored to be run by the DSP subsystems;
a broad range of application level software modules such as H.323 telephony or
POP-3/SMTP e-mail services.
