Math/FFT Hardware accelerator like the NXP PowerQuad?

Hi there!

 

Are there any plans to add a hardware math accelerator in addition to the cordic and fmac that supports FFT's and other matrix operations entirely in hardware and runs in parallel to the CPU and communicates via DMA?

 

A good example of this is the NXP PowerQuad hardware: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12282.pdf.

 

I am using STM32 MCU's for audio synthesis/synthesizers and whilst the cordic/fmac is useful, having 2 cordics and 2 fmacs would be a LOT more useful, and even better, having a dedicated FFT hardware or vector processor with math capabilities that is independent of the main processor would be super useful.

 

 

Are there any plans to add something like this to your MCU lineup?

 

Thanks.
