FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-2181 is a single-chip microcomputer optimized for
digital signal processing (DSP) and other high speed numeric
processing applications.
The ADSP-2181 combines the ADSP-2100 family base architecture (three computational units, data address generators and
a program sequencer) with two serial ports, a 16-bit internal
DMA port, a byte DMA port, a programmable timer, Flag I/O,
extensive interrupt capabilities, and on-chip program and data
memory.
The ADSP-2181 integrates 80K bytes of on-chip memory configured as 16K words (24-bit) of program RAM, and 16K words
(16-bit) of data RAM. Power-down circuitry is also provided to
meet the low power needs of battery operated portable equipment. The ADSP-2181 is available in 128-lead TQFP and 128lead PQFP packages.
In addition, the ADSP-2181 supports new instructions, which
include bit manipulations—bit set, bit clear, bit toggle, bit test—
new ALU constants, new multiplication instruction (x squared),
biased rounding, result free ALU operations, I/O memory transfers and global interrupt masking for increased flexibility.
Fabricated in a high speed, double metal, low power, CMOS
process, the ADSP-2181 operates with a 25 ns instruction cycle
time. Every instruction can execute in a single processor cycle.
The ADSP-2181’s flexible architecture and comprehensive
instruction set allow the processor to perform multiple operations in parallel. In one processor cycle the ADSP-2181 can:
This takes place while the processor continues to:
• Receive and transmit data through the two serial ports
• Receive and/or transmit data through the internal DMA port
• Receive and/or transmit data through the byte DMA port
• Decrement timer
Development System
The ADSP-2100 Family Development Software, a complete
set of tools for software and hardware system development,
supports the ADSP-2181. The System Builder provides a high
level method for defining the architecture of systems under
development. The Assembler has an algebraic syntax that is easy
to program and debug. The Linker combines object files into
an executable file. The Simulator provides an interactive
instruction-level simulation with a reconfigurable user interface
to display different portions of the hardware environment. A
PROM Splitter generates PROM programmer compatible files.
The C Compiler, based on the Free Software Foundation’s
GNU C Compiler, generates ADSP-2181 assembly source
code. The source code debugger allows programs to be corrected in the C environment. The Runtime Library includes over
100 ANSI-standard mathematical and DSP-specific functions.
The EZ-KIT Lite is a hardware/software kit offering a complete
development environment for the entire ADSP-21xx family: an
ADSP-2181 evaluation board with PC monitor software plus
Assembler, Linker, Simulator, and PROM Splitter software.
The ADSP-218x EZ-KIT Lite is a low-cost, easy to use hardware platform on which you can quickly get started with your
DSP software design. The EZ-KIT Lite includes the following
features:
• 33 MHz ADSP-2181
• Full 16-bit Stereo Audio I/O with AD1847 SoundPort
®
Codec
• RS-232 Interface to PC with Windows 3.1 Control Software
• Stand-Alone Operation with Socketed EPROM
• EZ-ICE
®
Connector for Emulator Control
• DSP Demo Programs
The ADSP-218x EZ-ICE
Emulator aids in the hardware debugging of ADSP-218x systems. The emulator consists of hardware, host computer resident software and the target board
connector. The ADSP-218x integrates on-chip emulation support with a 14-pin ICE-Port interface. This interface provides a
simpler target board connection requiring fewer mechanical
clearance considerations than other ADSP-2100 Family EZ-ICEs.
The ADSP-218x device need not be removed from the target
system when using the EZ-ICE, nor are any adapters needed. Due
to the small footprint of the EZ-ICE
connector, emulation can be
supported in final board designs.
The EZ-ICE
performs a full range of functions, including:
• In-target operation
• Up to 20 breakpoints
• Single-step or full-speed operation
• Registers and memory values can be examined and altered
• PC upload and download functions
• Instruction-level emulation of program booting and execution
• Complete assembly and disassembly of instructions
• C source-level debugging

Additional Information
This data sheet provides a general overview of ADSP-2181
functionality. For additional information on the architecture and
instruction set of the processor, refer to the ADSP-2100 FamilyUser’s Manual, Third Edition. For more information about the

ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The ADSP-2181 instruction set provides flexible data moves
and multifunction (one or two data moves with a computation)
instructions. Every instruction can be executed in a single processor cycle. The ADSP-2181 assembly language uses an algebraic syntax for ease of coding and readability. A comprehensive
set of development tools supports program development.
Figure 1 is an overall block diagram of the ADSP-2181. The
processor contains three independent computational units: the
ALU, the multiplier/accumulator (MAC) and the shifter. The
computational units process 16-bit data directly and have provisions to support multiprecision computations. The ALU performs a standard set of arithmetic and logic operations; division
primitives are also supported. The MAC performs single-cycle
multiply, multiply/add and multiply/subtract operations with
40 bits of accumulation. The shifter performs logical and arithmetic shifts, normalization, denormalization and derive exponent operations. The shifter can be used to efficiently implement
numeric format control including multiword and block floatingpoint representations.
The internal result (R) bus connects the computational units so
that the output of any unit may be the input of any unit on the
next cycle.
A powerful program sequencer and two dedicated data address
generators ensure efficient delivery of operands to these computational units. The sequencer supports conditional jumps, subroutine
calls and returns in a single cycle. With internal loop counters and
loop stacks, the ADSP-2181 executes looped code with zero overhead; no explicit jump instructions are required to maintain loops.
Two data address generators (DAGs) provide addresses for
simultaneous dual operand fetches (from data memory and
program memory). Each DAG maintains and updates four
address pointers. Whenever the pointer is used to access data
(indirect addressing), it is post-modified by the value of one of
four possible modify registers. A length value may be associated
with each pointer to implement automatic modulo addressing
for circular buffers.
Efficient data transfer is achieved with the use of five internal
buses:
• Program Memory Address (PMA) Bus
• Program Memory Data (PMD) Bus
• Data Memory Address (DMA) Bus
• Data Memory Data (DMD) Bus
• Result (R) Bus
The two address buses (PMA and DMA) share a single external
address bus, allowing memory to be expanded off-chip, and the
two data buses (PMD and DMD) share a single external data
bus. Byte memory space and I/O memory space also share the
external buses.
Program memory can store both instructions and data, permitting the ADSP-2181 to fetch two operands in a single cycle,
one from program memory and one from data memory. The
–2–
REV. D
ADSP-2181
ADSP-2181 can fetch an operand from program memory and
the next instruction in the same cycle.
In addition to the address and data bus for external memory
connection, the ADSP-2181 has a 16-bit Internal DMA port
(IDMA port) for connection to external systems. The IDMA
port is made up of 16 data/address pins and five control pins.
The IDMA port provides transparent, direct access to the DSPs
on-chip program and data RAM.
An interface to low cost byte-wide memory is provided by the
Byte DMA port (BDMA port). The BDMA port is bidirectional
and can directly address up to four megabytes of external RAM
or ROM for off-chip storage of program overlays or data tables.
The byte memory and I/O memory space interface supports slow
memories and I/O memory-mapped peripherals with programmable wait state generation. External devices can gain control of
external buses with bus request/grant signals (BR, BGH and BG).
One execution mode (Go Mode) allows the ADSP-2181 to continue running from on-chip memory. Normal execution mode
requires the processor to halt while buses are granted.
The ADSP-2181 can respond to 13 possible interrupts, eleven
of which are accessible at any given time. There can be up to six
external interrupts (one edge-sensitive, two level-sensitive and
three configurable) and seven internal interrupts generated by
the timer, the serial ports (SPORTs), the Byte DMA port and
the power-down circuitry. There is also a master RESET signal.
The two serial ports provide a complete synchronous serial interface with optional companding in hardware and a wide variety of
framed or frameless data transmit and receive modes of operation.
Each port can generate an internal programmable serial clock or
accept an external serial clock.
The ADSP-2181 provides up to 13 general-purpose flag pins.
The data input and output pins on SPORT1 can be alternatively
configured as an input flag and an output flag. In addition, there
are eight flags that are programmable as inputs or outputs and
three flags that are always outputs.
A programmable interval timer generates periodic interrupts. A
16-bit count register (TCOUNT) is decremented every n processor cycles, where n is a scaling value stored in an 8-bit register (TSCALE). When the value of the count register reaches
zero, an interrupt is generated and the count register is reloaded
from a 16-bit period register (TPERIOD).
Serial Ports
The ADSP-2181 incorporates two complete synchronous serial
ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) for serial communications and
multiprocessor communication.
Here is a brief list of the capabilities of the ADSP-2181 SPORTs.
Refer to the ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual, Third Edition for
further details.
• SPORTs are bidirectional and have a separate, doublebuffered transmit and receive section.
• SPORTs can use an external serial clock or generate their
own serial clock internally.
• SPORTs have independent framing for the receive and transmit sections. Sections run in a frameless mode or with frame
synchronization signals internally or externally generated.
Frame sync signals are active high or inverted, with either of
two pulsewidths and timings.

• SPORTs support serial data word lengths from 3 to 16 bits
and provide optional A-law and µ-law companding according
to CCITT recommendation G.711.
• SPORT receive and transmit sections can generate unique
interrupts on completing a data word transfer.
• SPORTs can receive and transmit an entire circular buffer of
data with only one overhead cycle per data word. An interrupt
is generated after a data buffer transfer.
• SPORT0 has a multichannel interface to selectively receive
and transmit a 24- or 32-word, time-division multiplexed,
serial bitstream.
• SPORT1 can be configured to have two external interrupts
(IRQ0 and IRQ1) and the Flag In and Flag Out signals. The
internally generated serial clock may still be used in this
configuration.

*These ADSP-2181 pins must be connected only to the EZ-ICE connector in
the target system. These pins have no function except during emulation, and
do not require pull-up or pull-down resistors.
Interrupts
The interrupt controller allows the processor to respond to the
eleven possible interrupts and reset with minimum overhead.
The ADSP-2181 provides four dedicated external interrupt
input pins, IRQ2, IRQL0, IRQL1 and IRQE. In addition,
SPORT1 may be reconfigured for IRQ0, IRQ1, FLAG_IN and
FLAG_OUT, for a total of six external interrupts. The ADSP2181 also supports internal interrupts from the timer, the byte
DMA port, the two serial ports, software and the power-down
control circuit. The interrupt levels are internally prioritized and
individually maskable (except power down and reset). The
IRQ2, IRQ0 and IRQ1 input pins can be programmed to be
either level- or edge-sensitive. IRQL0 and IRQL1 are levelsensitive and IRQE is edge sensitive. The priorities and vector
addresses of all interrupts are shown in Table I.

SPORT1 Transmit or IRQ10020
SPORT1 Receive or IRQ00024
Timer0028(Lowest Priority)
Interrupt routines can either be nested with higher priority
interrupts taking precedence or processed sequentially. Interrupts can be masked or unmasked with the IMASK register.
Individual interrupt requests are logically ANDed with the bits
in IMASK; the highest priority unmasked interrupt is then
selected. The power-down interrupt is nonmaskable.
The ADSP-2181 masks all interrupts for one instruction cycle
following the execution of an instruction that modifies the
IMASK register. This does not affect serial port autobuffering
or DMA transfers.
The interrupt control register, ICNTL, controls interrupt nesting and defines the IRQ0, IRQ1 and IRQ2 external interrupts to
be either edge- or level-sensitive. The IRQE pin is an external
edge-sensitive interrupt and can be forced and cleared. The
IRQL0 and IRQL1 pins are external level-sensitive interrupts.
The IFC register is a write-only register used to force and clear
interrupts.
On-chip stacks preserve the processor status and are automatically maintained during interrupt handling. The stacks are twelve
levels deep to allow interrupt, loop and subroutine nesting.
The following instructions allow global enable or disable servicing of the interrupts (including power down), regardless of the
state of IMASK. Disabling the interrupts does not affect serial
port autobuffering or DMA.
ENA INTS;
DIS INTS;
When the processor is reset, interrupt servicing is enabled.
LOW POWER OPERATION
The ADSP-2181 has three low power modes that significantly
reduce the power dissipation when the device operates under
standby conditions. These modes are:
• Power-Down
• Idle
• Slow Idle
The CLKOUT pin may also be disabled to reduce external
power dissipation.
Power-Down
The ADSP-2181 processor has a low power feature that lets
the processor enter a very low power dormant state through
hardware or software control. Here is a brief list of powerdown features. For detailed information about the powerdown feature, refer to the ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual,
Third Edition, “System Interface” chapter.
• Quick recovery from power-down. The processor begins
executing instructions in as few as 100 CLKIN cycles.
• Support for an externally generated TTL or CMOS
processor clock. The external clock can continue running
during power-down without affecting the lowest power
rating and 100 CLKIN cycle recovery.
• Support for crystal operation includes disabling the oscillator to save power (the processor automatically waits 4096
CLKIN cycles for the crystal oscillator to start and stabilize), and letting the oscillator run to allow 100 CLKIN
cycle start up.
• Power-down is initiated by either the power-down pin
(PWD) or the software power-down force bit.
• Interrupt support allows an unlimited number of instructions to be executed before optionally powering down.
The power-down interrupt also can be used as a nonmaskable, edge-sensitive interrupt.
• Context clear/save control allows the processor to continue where it left off or start with a clean context when
leaving the power-down state.
• The RESET pin also can be used to terminate powerdown.
• Power-down acknowledge pin indicates when the processor has entered power-down.
Idle
When the ADSP-2181 is in the Idle Mode, the processor
waits indefinitely in a low power state until an interrupt
occurs. When an unmasked interrupt occurs, it is serviced;
execution then continues with the instruction following the
IDLE instruction.
Slow Idle
The IDLE instruction is enhanced on the ADSP-2181 to let
the processor’s internal clock signal be slowed, further
reducing power consumption. The reduced clock frequency, a programmable fraction of the normal clock rate,
is specified by a selectable divisor given in the IDLE instruction. The format of the instruction is
IDLE (n);
where n = 16, 32, 64 or 128. This instruction keeps the
processor fully functional, but operating at the slower clock
rate. While it is in this state, the processor’s other internal
clock signals, such as SCLK, CLKOUT and timer clock,
are reduced by the same ratio. The default form of the
instruction, when no clock divisor is given, is the standard
IDLE instruction.
REV. D
–5–
ADSP-2181
CLKIN
CLKOUT
XTAL
DSP
When the IDLE (n) instruction is used, it effectively slows down
the processor’s internal clock and thus its response time to incoming interrupts. The one-cycle response time of the standard
idle state is increased by n, the clock divisor. When an enabled
interrupt is received, the ADSP-2181 will remain in the idle
state for up to a maximum of n processor cycles (n = 16, 32, 64
or 128) before resuming normal operation.
When the IDLE (n) instruction is used in systems that have an
externally generated serial clock (SCLK), the serial clock rate
may be faster than the processor’s reduced internal clock rate.
Under these conditions, interrupts must not be generated at a
faster rate than can be serviced, due to the additional time the
processor takes to come out of the idle state (a maximum of n
processor cycles).
SYSTEM INTERFACE
Figure 2 shows a typical basic system configuration with the
ADSP-2181, two serial devices, a byte-wide EPROM, and optional external program and data overlay memories. Programmable wait state generation allows the processor to connect
easily to slow peripheral devices. The ADSP-2181 also provides
four external interrupts and two serial ports or six external interrupts and one serial port.

Clock Signals
The ADSP-2181 can be clocked by either a crystal or a TTLcompatible clock signal.
The CLKIN input cannot be halted, changed during operation
or operated below the specified frequency during normal operation. The only exception is while the processor is in the powerdown state. For additional information, refer to Chapter 9,
ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual,Third Edition, for detailed
information on this power-down feature.
If an external clock is used, it should be a TTL-compatible
signal running at half the instruction rate. The signal is connected to the processor’s CLKIN input. When an external clock
is used, the XTAL input must be left unconnected.
The ADSP-2181 uses an input clock with a frequency equal to
half the instruction rate; a 20.00 MHz input clock yields a 25 ns
processor cycle (which is equivalent to 40 MHz). Normally,
instructions are executed in a single processor cycle. All device
timing is relative to the internal instruction clock rate, which is
indicated by the CLKOUT signal when enabled.
Because the ADSP-2181 includes an on-chip oscillator circuit,
an external crystal may be used. The crystal should be connected
across the CLKIN and XTAL pins, with two capacitors connected
as shown in Figure 3. Capacitor values are dependent on crystal
type and should be specified by the crystal manufacturer. A
parallel-resonant, fundamental frequency, microprocessor-grade
crystal should be used.
A clock output (CLKOUT) signal is generated by the processor
at the processor’s cycle rate. This can be enabled and disabled
by the CLKODIS bit in the SPORT0 Autobuffer Control
Register.
Figure 3. External Crystal Connections
Reset
The RESET signal initiates a master reset of the ADSP-2181.
The RESET signal must be asserted during the power-up sequence to assure proper initialization. RESET during initial
power-up must be held long enough to allow the internal clock
to stabilize. If RESET is activated any time after power-up, the
clock continues to run and does not require stabilization time.
The power-up sequence is defined as the total time required for
the crystal oscillator circuit to stabilize after a valid V
DD
is applied to the processor, and for the internal phase-locked loop
(PLL) to lock onto the specific crystal frequency. A minimum of
2000 CLKIN cycles ensures that the PLL has locked, but does
not include the crystal oscillator start-up time. During this
power-up sequence the RESET signal should be held low. On
any subsequent resets, the RESET signal must meet the minimum pulse width specification, t
RSP
.
The RESET input contains some hysteresis; however, if you use
an RC circuit to generate your RESET signal, the use of an
external Schmidt trigger is recommended.
The master reset sets all internal stack pointers to the empty
stack condition, masks all interrupts and clears the MSTAT
register. When RESET is released, if there is no pending bus
request and the chip is configured for booting (MMAP = 0), the
boot-loading sequence is performed. The first instruction is
fetched from on-chip program memory location 0x0000 once
boot loading completes.

ADSP-2181
Memory Architecture
The ADSP-2181 provides a variety of memory and peripheral
interface options. The key functional groups are Program
Memory, Data Memory, Byte Memory and I/O.
Program Memory is a 24-bit-wide space for storing both
instruction opcodes and data. The ADSP-2181 has 16K words
of Program Memory RAM on chip and the capability of accessing up to two 8K external memory overlay spaces using the
external data bus. Both an instruction opcode and a data value
can be read from on-chip program memory in a single cycle.
Data Memory is a 16-bit-wide space used for the storage of
data variables and for memory-mapped control registers. The
ADSP-2181 has 16K words on Data Memory RAM on chip,
consisting of 16,352 user-accessible locations and 32 memorymapped registers. Support also exists for up to two 8K external
memory overlay spaces through the external data bus.
Byte Memory provides access to an 8-bit wide memory space
through the Byte DMA (BDMA) port. The Byte Memory interface provides access to 4 MBytes of memory by utilizing eight
data lines as additional address lines. This gives the BDMA Port
an effective 22-bit address range. On power-up, the DSP can
automatically load bootstrap code from byte memory.
I/O Space allows access to 2048 locations of 16-bit-wide data.
It is intended to be used to communicate with parallel peripheral devices such as data converters and external registers or
latches.
Program Memory
The ADSP-2181 contains a 16K × 24 on-chip program RAM.
The on-chip program memory is designed to allow up to two
accesses each cycle so that all operations can complete in a
single cycle. In addition, the ADSP-2181 allows the use of 8K
external memory overlays.
The program memory space organization is controlled by the
MMAP pin and the PMOVLAY register. Normally, the ADSP2181 is configured with MMAP = 0 and program memory organized as shown in Figure 4.

There are 16K words of memory accessible internally when the
PMOVLAY register is set to 0. When PMOVLAY is set to
something other than 0, external accesses occur at addresses

shown in Table II.

This organization provides for two external 8K overlay segments
using only the normal 14 address bits. This allows for simple
program overlays using one of the two external segments in
place of the on-chip memory. Care must be taken in using this
overlay space in that the processor core (i.e., the sequencer)
does not take into account the PMOVLAY register value. For
example, if a loop operation was occurring on one of the external overlays and the program changes to another external overlay or internal memory, an incorrect loop operation could occur.
In addition, care must be taken in interrupt service routines as
the overlay registers are not automatically saved and restored on
the processor mode stack.
For ADSP-2100 Family compatibility, MMAP = 1 is allowed.
In this mode, booting is disabled and overlay memory is disabled (PMOVLAY must be 0). Figure 5 shows the memory map
in this configuration.

This organization allows for two external 8K overlays using only
the normal 14 address bits.
All internal accesses complete in one cycle. Accesses to external
memory are timed using the wait states specified by the DWAIT
register.
I/O Space
The ADSP-2181 supports an additional external memory space
called I/O space. This space is designed to support simple connections to peripherals or to bus interface ASIC data registers.
I/O space supports 2048 locations. The lower eleven bits of the
external address bus are used; the upper three bits are undefined. Two instructions were added to the core ADSP-2100
Family instruction set to read from and write to I/O memory
space. The I/O space also has four dedicated 3-bit wait state
registers, IOWAIT0-3, which specify up to seven wait states to
be automatically generated for each of four regions. The wait
states act on address ranges as shown in Table IV.
The ADSP-2181 has a programmable memory select signal that
is useful for generating memory select signals for memories
mapped to more than one space. The CMS signal is generated
to have the same timing as each of the individual memory select
signals (PMS, DMS, BMS, IOMS) but can combine their
functionality.
When set, each bit in the CMSSEL register, causes the CMS
signal to be asserted when the selected memory select is asserted. For example, to use a 32K word memory to act as both
program and data memory, set the PMS and DMS bits in the
CMSSEL register and use the CMS pin to drive the chip select
of the memory; use either DMS or PMS as the additional
address bit.
The CMS pin functions like the other memory select signals,
with the same timing and bus request logic. A 1 in the enable bit
causes the assertion of the CMS signal at the same time as the
selected memory select signal. All enable bits, except the BMS
bit, default to 1 at reset.
Byte Memory
The byte memory space is a bidirectional, 8-bit-wide, external
memory space used to store programs and data. Byte memory is
accessed using the BDMA feature. The byte memory space
consists of 256 pages, each of which is 16K × 8.
The byte memory space on the ADSP-2181 supports read and
write operations as well as four different data formats. The byte
memory uses data bits 15:8 for data. The byte memory uses
data bits 23:16 and address bits 13:0 to create a 22-bit address.
This allows up to a 4 meg × 8 (32 megabit) ROM or RAM to be
used without glue logic. All byte memory accesses are timed by
the BMWAIT register.
Byte Memory DMA (BDMA)
The Byte memory DMA controller allows loading and storing of
program instructions and data using the byte memory space.
The BDMA circuit is able to access the byte memory space
while the processor is operating normally, and steals only one
DSP cycle per 8-, 16- or 24-bit word transferred.
The BDMA circuit supports four different data formats which
are selected by the BTYPE register field. The appropriate number of 8-bit accesses are done from the byte memory space to
build the word size selected. Table V shows the data formats
supported by the BDMA circuit.

01Data Memory16Full Word
10Data Memory8MSBs
11Data Memory8LSBs
Unused bits in the 8-bit data memory formats are filled with 0s.
The BIAD register field is used to specify the starting address
for the on-chip memory involved with the transfer. The 14-bit
BEAD register specifies the starting address for the external byte
memory space. The 8-bit BMPAGE register specifies the starting page for the external byte memory space. The BDIR register
field selects the direction of the transfer. Finally the 14-bit
BWCOUNT register specifies the number of DSP words to
transfer and initiates the BDMA circuit transfers.
BDMA accesses can cross page boundaries during sequential
addressing. A BDMA interrupt is generated on the completion
of the number of transfers specified by the BWCOUNT register.
The BWCOUNT register is updated after each transfer so it can
be used to check the status of the transfers. When it reaches
zero, the transfers have finished and a BDMA interrupt is generated. The BMPAGE and BEAD registers must not be accessed
by the DSP during BDMA operations.
The source or destination of a BDMA transfer will always be
on-chip program or data memory, regardless of the values of
MMAP, PMOVLAY or DMOVLAY.

ADSP-2181
When the BWCOUNT register is written with a nonzero value,
the BDMA circuit starts executing byte memory accesses with
wait states set by BMWAIT. These accesses continue until the
count reaches zero. When enough accesses have occurred to
create a destination word, it is transferred to or from on-chip
memory. The transfer takes one DSP cycle. DSP accesses to
external memory have priority over BDMA byte memory accesses.
The BDMA Context Reset bit (BCR) controls whether the
processor is held off while the BDMA accesses are occurring.
Setting the BCR bit to 0 allows the processor to continue operations. Setting the BCR bit to 1 causes the processor to stop
execution while the BDMA accesses are occurring, to clear the
context of the processor and start execution at address 0 when
the BDMA accesses have completed.
Internal Memory DMA Port (IDMA Port)
The IDMA Port provides an efficient means of communication
between a host system and the ADSP-2181. The port is used to
access the on-chip program memory and data memory of the
DSP with only one DSP cycle per word overhead. The IDMA
port cannot, however, be used to write to the DSP’s memorymapped control registers.
The IDMA port has a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus
and supports 24-bit program memory. The IDMA port is
completely asynchronous and can be written to while the
ADSP-2181 is operating at full speed.
The DSP memory address is latched and then automatically
incremented after each IDMA transaction. An external device
can therefore access a block of sequentially addressed memory
by specifying only the starting address of the block. This increases throughput as the address does not have to be sent for
each memory access.
IDMA Port access occurs in two phases. The first is the IDMA
Address Latch cycle. When the acknowledge is asserted, a 14bit address and 1-bit destination type can be driven onto the bus
by an external device. The address specifies an on-chip memory
location; the destination type specifies whether it is a DM or
PM access. The falling edge of the address latch signal latches
this value into the IDMAA register.
Once the address is stored, data can either be read from or
written to the ADSP-2181’s on-chip memory. Asserting the
select line (IS) and the appropriate read or write line (IRD and
IWR respectively) signals the ADSP-2181 that a particular
transaction is required. In either case, there is a one-processorcycle delay for synchronization. The memory access consumes
one additional processor cycle.
Once an access has occurred, the latched address is automatically incremented and another access can occur.
Through the IDMAA register, the DSP can also specify the
starting address and data format for DMA operation.
Bootstrap Loading (Booting)
The ADSP-2181 has two mechanisms to allow automatic loading of the on-chip program memory after reset. The method for
booting after reset is controlled by the MMAP and BMODE
pins as shown in Table VI.
Table VI. Boot Summary Table
MMAPBMODEBooting Method
00BDMA feature is used in default mode
to load the first 32 program memory
words from the byte memory space.
Program execution is held off until all
32 words have been loaded.
01IDMA feature is used to load any inter-
nal memory as desired. Program execution is held off until internal program
memory location 0 is written to.
1XBootstrap features disabled. Program
execution immediately starts from
location 0.
BDMA Booting
When the BMODE and MMAP pins specify BDMA booting
(MMAP = 0, BMODE = 0), the ADSP-2181 initiates a BDMA
boot sequence when reset is released. The BDMA interface is
set up during reset to the following defaults when BDMA booting is specified: the BDIR, BMPAGE, BIAD and BEAD registers are set to 0, the BTYPE register is set to 0 to specify
program memory 24 bit words, and the BWCOUNT register is
set to 32. This causes 32 words of on-chip program memory to
be loaded from byte memory. These 32 words are used to set up
the BDMA to load in the remaining program code. The BCR
bit is also set to 1, which causes program execution to be held
off until all 32 words are loaded into on-chip program memory.
Execution then begins at address 0.
The ADSP-2100 Family Development Software (Revision 5.02
and later) fully supports the BDMA booting feature and can
generate byte memory space compatible boot code.
The IDLE instruction can also be used to allow the processor to
hold off execution while booting continues through the BDMA
interface.
IDMA Booting
The ADSP-2181 can also boot programs through its Internal
DMA port. If BMODE = 1 and MMAP = 0, the ADSP-2181
boots from the IDMA port. IDMA feature can load as much onchip memory as desired. Program execution is held off until onchip program memory location 0 is written to.
The ADSP-2100 Family Development Software (Revision 5.02
and later) can generate IDMA compatible boot code.
Bus Request and Bus Grant
The ADSP-2181 can relinquish control of the data and address
buses to an external device. When the external device requires
access to memory, it asserts the bus request (BR) signal. If the
ADSP-2181 is not performing an external memory access, then
it responds to the active BR input in the following processor
cycle by:
• three-stating the data and address buses and the PMS, DMS,
BMS, CMS, IOMS, RD, WR output drivers,
• asserting the bus grant (BG) signal, and
• halting program execution.

If Go Mode is enabled, the ADSP-2181 will not halt program
execution until it encounters an instruction that requires an
external memory access.
If the ADSP-2181 is performing an external memory access
when the external device asserts the BR signal, then it will not
three-state the memory interfaces or assert the BG signal until
the processor cycle after the access completes. The instruction
does not need to be completed when the bus is granted. If a
single instruction requires two external memory accesses, the
bus will be granted between the two accesses.
When the BR signal is released, the processor releases the BG
signal, reenables the output drivers and continues program
execution from the point where it stopped.
The bus request feature operates at all times, including when
the processor is booting and when RESET is active.
The BGH pin is asserted when the ADSP-2181 is ready to
execute an instruction, but is stopped because the external bus
is already granted to another device. The other device can release the bus by deasserting bus request. Once the bus is released, the ADSP-2181 deasserts BG and BGH and executes
the external memory access.
Flag I/O Pins
The ADSP-2181 has eight general purpose programmable input/output flag pins. They are controlled by two memory
mapped registers. The PFTYPE register determines the direction, 1 = output and 0 = input. The PFDATA register is used to
read and write the values on the pins. Data being read from a
pin configured as an input is synchronized to the ADSP-2181’s
clock. Bits that are programmed as outputs will read the value
being output. The PF pins default to input during reset.
In addition to the programmable flags, the ADSP-2181 has
five fixed-mode flags, FLAG_IN, FLAG_OUT, FL0, FL1 and
FL2. FL0-FL2 are dedicated output flags. FLAG_IN and
FLAG_OUT are available as an alternate configuration of
SPORT1.
INSTRUCTION SET DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-2181 assembly language instruction set has an
algebraic syntax that was designed for ease of coding and readability. The assembly language, which takes full advantage of the
processor’s unique architecture, offers the following benefits:
• The algebraic syntax eliminates the need to remember cryptic
• Every instruction assembles into a single, 24-bit word that can

DESIGNING AN EZ-ICE-COMPATIBLE SYSTEM
The ADSP-2181 has on-chip emulation support and an ICEPort, a special set of pins that interface to the EZ-ICE. These
features allow in-circuit emulation without replacing the target
system processor by using only a 14-pin connection from the
target system to the EZ-ICE. Target systems must have a 14-pin
connector to accept the EZ-ICE
’s in-circuit probe, a 14-pin plug.
The ICE-Port interface consists of the following ADSP-2181 pins:
EBREMSELIN
EBGEINTELOUT
ERESETECLKEE
These ADSP-2181 pins must be connected only to the EZ-ICE
connector in the target system. These pins have no function
except during emulation, and do not require pull-up or pulldown resistors. The traces for these signals between the ADSP2181 and the connector must be kept as short as possible, no
longer than three inches.
The following pins are also used by the EZ-ICE:
BRBG
GNDRESET
The EZ-ICE
uses the EE (emulator enable) signal to take control of the ADSP-2181 in the target system. This causes the
processor to use its ERESET, EBR and EBG pins instead of the
RESET, BR and BG pins. The BG output is three-stated.
These signals do not need to be jumper-isolated in your system.
The EZ-ICE
connects to the target system via a ribbon cable
and a 14-pin female plug. The ribbon cable is 10 inches in
length with one end fixed to the EZ-ICE. The female plug is
plugged onto the 14-pin connector (a pin strip header) on the
target board.
Target Board Connector for EZ-ICE Probe
The EZ-ICE connector (a standard pin strip header) is shown in
Figure 7. You must add this connector to your target board
design if you intend to use the EZ-ICE. Be sure to allow enough
room in your system to fit the EZ-ICE
probe onto the 14-pin
connector.
