| <marketing blurb> |
| Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally |
| suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary - |
| multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and |
| packet processing; control processing; and real-time security. The Blackfin's |
| unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it |
| widespread adoption in convergent applications. |

| The Blackfin processor is wholly developed by Analog Devices Inc. |
