Analog Devices initial product family, the ADSP-BF531, and ADSP-BF532, offer all the ease of use and architectural attributes of the Blackfin processor. These three processors are all completely pin compatible - differing solely with respect to their performance and on-chip memory - thus reducing risk and offering the ability to scale up or down depending upon the end application needs. All three processors offer low power consumption with scaleable performance from low-cost to very high performance.

The ADSP-BF531 is the low cost entry point into the Blackfin Processor family. It offers an optimal balance between performance, peripheral integration, and price ($4.95 in quantities of 10Kpcs for LQFP version) and is well suited for the most cost-sensitive applications including portable test equipment, embedded modems, biometrics, and consumer audio.

The ADSP-BF532 offers exceptional performance, large on-chip memories, and an array of application-tuned peripherals. Its highly integrated feature set combined with an aggressive price ($7.50 in quantities of 10Kpcs) make it particularly well suited for applications requiring both a high degree of functionality and low cost such as automotive telematics, information appliances, and wired/wireless communications systems.
