ADSP-21477/ADSP-21478/ADSP-21479
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-2147x SHARC® processors are members of the
SIMD SHARC family of DSPs that feature Analog Devices’
Super Harvard Architecture. The processors are source code
compatible with the ADSP-2126x, ADSP-2136x, ADSP-2137x,
ADSP-2146x, and ADSP-2116x DSPs as well as with first
generation ADSP-2106x SHARC processors in SISD (single-
instruction, single-data) mode. These processors are 32-bit/
40-bit floating-point processors optimized for high perfor-
mance audio applications with a large on-chip SRAM, multiple
internal buses to eliminate I/O bottlenecks, and an innovative
digital applications interface (DAI).
Table 1 shows performance benchmarks for the ADSP-2147x
processors. Table 2 shows the features of the individual product
offerings.

The diagram on Page 1 shows the two clock domains (core and
I/O processor) that make up the ADSP-2147x processors. The
core clock domain contains the following features.
• Two processing elements (PEx, PEy), each of which com-
prises an ALU, multiplier, shifter, and data register file
• Two data address generators (DAG1, DAG2)
• A program sequencer with instruction cache
• PM and DM buses capable of supporting 2 × 64-bit data
transfers between memory and the core at every core pro-
cessor cycle
• One periodic interval timer with pinout
• On-chip SRAM (up to 5M bit)
• A JTAG test access port for emulation and boundary scan.
The JTAG provides software debug through user break-
points, which allows flexible exception handling.
