What Cirrus Logic works on
DSPs
A DSP, or digital signal processor, is a processor built to handle streams of real-world data such as audio, radio signals and sensor readings. It takes samples from an analog-to-digital converter and filters, compresses or analyses them in real time.
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
