Floating point audio DSP
Floating point audio DSP is a high end special coded audio processor optimized for low memory cost and low power.
The processor stores intermediate data in a 16-bit floating point format to limit memory usage.
A MP3 decoder on the processor is verified as a limited accuracy iso/iec 11172-3 mpeg-1 layer iii decoder. It does not support layer i or ii. The rms of error is 3.2x10E-5.
A clock frequency of 20 MHz is enough to decode all mpeg-1 layer iii streams
