GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ADSP-TS201S

The ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC processor is an ultrahigh per­formance, static superscalar processor optimized for large signal
processing tasks and communications infrastructure. The DSP
combines very wide memory widths with dual computation
blocks—supporting floating-point (IEEE 32-bit and extended
precision 40-bit) and fixed-point (8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) pro­cessing—to set a new standard of performance for digital signal
processors. The TigerSHARC static superscalar architecture lets
the DSP execute up to four instructions each cycle, performing
24 fixed-point (16-bit) operations or six floating-point
operations.

Four independent 128-bit wide internal data buses, each con­necting to the six 4M bit memory banks, enable quad-word
data, instruction, and I/O access and provide 33.6G bytes per
second of internal memory bandwidth. Operating at 600 MHz,
the ADSP-TS201S processor’s core has a 1.67 ns instruction
cycle time. Using its single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD)
features, the ADSP-TS201S processor can perform 4.8 billion,
40-bit MACS or 1.2 billion, 80-bit MACS per second. Table 1
shows the DSP’s performance benchmarks.

ADSP-TS201S

TM

The TigerSHARC DSP uses a Static Superscalar
This architecture is superscalar in that the ADSP-TS201S pro­cessor’s core can execute simultaneously from one to four 32-bit
instructions encoded in a very large instruction word (VLIW)
instruction line using the DSP’s dual compute blocks. Because
the DSP does not perform instruction re-ordering at runtime—
the programmer selects which operations will execute in parallel
prior to runtime—the order of instructions is static.

With few exceptions, an instruction line, whether it contains
one, two, three, or four 32-bit instructions, executes with a
throughput of one cycle in a 10-deep processor pipeline.

For optimal DSP program execution, programmers must follow
the DSP’s set of instruction parallelism rules when encoding an
instruction line. In general, the selection of instructions that the
DSP can execute in parallel each cycle depends on the instruc­tion line resources each instruction requires and on the source
and destination registers used in the instructions. The program­mer has direct control of three core components—the IALUs,
the compute blocks, and the program sequencer.

The ADSP-TS201S processor, in most cases, has a two-cycle
execution pipeline that is fully interlocked, so—whenever a
computation result is unavailable for another operation depen­dent on it—the DSP automatically inserts one or more stall
cycles as needed. Efficient programming with dependency-free
instructions can eliminate most computational and memory
transfer data dependencies.

In addition, the ADSP-TS201S processor supports SIMD opera­tions two ways—SIMD compute blocks and SIMD
computations. The programmer can load both compute blocks
with the same data (broadcast distribution) or different data
(merged distribution).

DUAL COMPUTE BLOCKS

The ADSP-TS201S processor has compute blocks that can exe­cute computations either independently or together as a single­instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) engine. The DSP can issue up
to two compute instructions per compute block each cycle,
instructing the ALU, multiplier, shifter, or CLU to perform
independent, simultaneous operations. Each compute block can
execute eight 8-bit, four 16-bit, two 32-bit, or one 64-bit SIMD
computations in parallel with the operation in the other block.
These computation units support IEEE 32-bit single-precision
floating-point, extended-precision 40-bit floating point, and 8-,
16-, 32-, and 64-bit fixed-point processing.

The compute blocks are referred to as X and Y in assembly syn­tax, and each block contains four computational units—an
ALU, a multiplier, a 64-bit shifter, a 128-bit CLU—and a 32­word register file.

• Register File—each compute block has a multiported 32­word, fully orthogonal register file used for transferring
data between the computation units and data buses and for

architecture.

storing intermediate results. Instructions can access the
registers in the register file individually (word-aligned), in
sets of two (dual-aligned), or in sets of four (quad-aligned).

• ALU—the ALU performs a standard set of arithmetic oper­ations in both fixed- and floating-point formats. It also
performs logic operations.

• Multiplier—the multiplier performs both fixed- and float­ing-point multiplication and fixed-point multiply and
accumulate.

• Shifter—the 64-bit shifter performs logical and arithmetic
shifts, bit and bit stream manipulation, and field deposit
and extraction operations.

• Communications Logic Unit (CLU)—this 128-bit unit pro­vides trellis decoding (for example, Viterbi and Turbo
decoders) and executes complex correlations for CDMA
communication applications (for example, chip-rate and
symbol-rate functions).

Using these features, the compute blocks can:

• Provide 8 MACS per cycle peak and 7.1 MACS per cycle
sustained 16-bit performance and provide 2 MACS per
cycle peak and 1.8 MACS per cycle sustained 32-bit perfor­mance (based on FIR)

• Execute six single-precision floating-point or execute 24
fixed-point (16-bit) operations per cycle, providing

3.6G FLOPS or 14.4G/s regular operations performance at
600 MHz

• Perform two complex 16-bit MACS per cycle

• Execute eight trellis butterflies in one cycle

DATA ALIGNMENT BUFFER (DAB)

The DAB is a quad-word FIFO that enables loading of quad­word data from nonaligned addresses. Normally, load instruc­tions must be aligned to their data size so that quad words are
loaded from a quad-aligned address. Using the DAB signifi­cantly improves the efficiency of some applications, such as
FIR filters.

DUAL INTEGER ALU (IALU)

The ADSP-TS201S processor has two IALUs that provide pow­erful address generation capabilities and perform many general­purpose integer operations. The IALUs are referred to as J and
K in assembly syntax and have the following features:

• Provide memory addresses for data and update pointers

• Support circular buffering and bit-reverse addressing

• Perform general-purpose integer operations, increasing
programming flexibility

• Include a 31-word register file for each IALU

As address generators, the IALUs perform immediate or indi­rect (pre- and post-modify) addressing. They perform modulus
and bit-reverse operations with no constraints placed on mem­ory addresses for the modulus data buffer placement. Each
IALU can specify either a single-, dual-, or quad-word access
from memory.

Rev. C | Page 4 of 48 | December 2006

ADSP-TS201S

The IALUs have hardware support for circular buffers, bit
reverse, and zero-overhead looping. Circular buffers facilitate
efficient programming of delay lines and other data structures
required in digital signal processing, and they are commonly
used in digital filters and Fourier transforms. Each IALU pro­vides registers for four circular buffers, so applications can set
up a total of eight circular buffers. The IALUs handle address
pointer wraparound automatically, reducing overhead, increas­ing performance, and simplifying implementation. Circular
buffers can start and end at any memory location.

Because the IALU’s computational pipeline is one cycle deep, in
most cases integer results are available in the next cycle. Hard­ware (register dependency check) causes a stall if a result is
unavailable in a given cycle.

PROGRAM SEQUENCER

The ADSP-TS201S processor’s program sequencer supports the
following:

• A fully interruptible programming model with flexible pro­gramming in assembly and C/C++ languages; handles
hardware interrupts with high throughput and no aborted
instruction cycles

• A 10-cycle instruction pipeline—four-cycle fetch pipe and
six-cycle execution pipe—computation results available
two cycles after operands are available

• Supply of instruction fetch memory addresses; the
sequencer’s instruction alignment buffer (IAB) caches up
to five fetched instruction lines waiting to execute; the pro­gram sequencer extracts an instruction line from the IAB
and distributes it to the appropriate core component for
execution

• Management of program structures and program flow
determined according to JUMP, CALL, RTI, RTS instruc­tions, loop structures, conditions, interrupts, and software
exceptions

• Branch prediction and a 128-entry branch target buffer
(BTB) to reduce branch delays for efficient execution of
conditional and unconditional branch instructions and
zero-overhead looping; correctly predicted branches occur
with zero overhead cycles, overcoming the five-to-nine
stage branch penalty

• Compact code without the requirement to align code in
memory; the IAB handles alignment

Interrupt Controller

The DSP supports nested and nonnested interrupts. Each inter­rupt type has a register in the interrupt vector table. Also, each
has a bit in both the interrupt latch register and the interrupt
mask register. All interrupts are fixed as either level-sensitive or
edge-sensitive, except the IRQ3–0
are programmable.

hardware interrupts, which

The DSP distinguishes between hardware interrupts and soft­ware exceptions, handling them differently. When a software
exception occurs, the DSP aborts all other instructions in the
instruction pipe. When a hardware interrupt occurs, the DSP
continues to execute instructions already in the instruction pipe.

Flexible Instruction Set

The 128-bit instruction line, which can contain up to four 32-bit
instructions, accommodates a variety of parallel operations for
concise programming. For example, one instruction line can
direct the DSP to conditionally execute a multiply, an add, and a
subtract in both computation blocks while it also branches to
another location in the program. Some key features of the
instruction set include:

• CLU instructions for communications infrastructure to
govern trellis decoding (for example, Viterbi and Turbo
decoders) and despreading via complex correlations

• Algebraic assembly language syntax

• Direct support for all DSP, imaging, and video arithmetic
types

• Eliminates toggling DSP hardware modes because modes
are supported as options (for example, rounding, satura­tion, and others) within instructions

• Branch prediction encoded in instruction; enables zero­overhead loops

• Parallelism encoded in instruction line

• Conditional execution optional for all instructions

• User-defined partitioning between program and data
memory

DSP MEMORY

The DSP’s internal and external memory is organized into a
unified memory map, which defines the location (address) of all
elements in the system, as shown in Figure 3.

The memory map is divided into four memory areas—host
space, external memory, multiprocessor space, and internal
memory—and each memory space, except host memory, is sub­divided into smaller memory spaces.

The ADSP-TS201S processor internal memory has 24M bits of
on-chip DRAM memory, divided into six blocks of 4M bits
(128K words × 32 bits). Each block—M0, M2, M4, M6, M8, and
M10—can store program instructions, data, or both, so applica­tions can configure memory to suit specific needs. Placing
program instructions and data in different memory blocks,
however, enables the DSP to access data while performing an
instruction fetch. Each memory segment contains a 128K bit
cache to enable single cycle access to internal DRAM.

The six internal memory blocks connect to the four 128-bit wide
internal buses through a crossbar connection, enabling the DSP
to perform four memory transfers in the same cycle. The DSP’s
internal bus architecture provides a total memory bandwidth of

33.6G bytes per second, enabling the core and I/O to access
eight 32-bit data-words and four 32-bit instructions each cycle.
The DSP’s flexible memory structure enables:

• DSP core and I/O accesses to different memory blocks in
the same cycle

• DSP core access to three memory blocks in parallel—one
instruction and two data accesses

• Programmable partitioning of program and data memory

• Program access of all memory as 32-, 64-, or 128-bit
words—16-bit words with the DAB

EXTERNAL PORT (OFF-CHIP MEMORY/PERIPHERALS INTERFACE)

The ADSP-TS201S processor’s external port provides the DSP’s
interface to off-chip memory and peripherals. The 4G word
address space is included in the DSP’s unified address space.

Rev. C | Page 6 of 48 | December 2006

The separate on-chip buses—four 128-bit data buses and four
32-bit address buses—are multiplexed at the SOC interface and
transferred to the external port over the SOC bus to create an
external system bus transaction. The external system bus pro­vides a single 64-bit data bus and a single 32-bit address bus.
The external port supports data transfer rates of 1G byte per
second over the external bus.

The external bus can be configured for 32-bit or 64-bit, little­endian operations. When the system bus is configured for 64-bit
operations, the lower 32 bits of the external data bus connect to
even addresses, and the upper 32 bits connect to odd addresses.

The external port supports pipelined, slow, and SDRAM proto­cols. Addressing of external memory devices and memory­mapped peripherals is facilitated by on-chip decoding of high
order address lines to generate memory bank select signals.

ADSP-TS201S

The ADSP-TS201S processor provides programmable memory,
pipeline depth, and idle cycle for synchronous accesses; and
external acknowledge controls to support interfacing to pipe­lined or slow devices, host processors, and other memory­mapped peripherals with variable access, hold, and disable time
requirements.

Host Interface

The ADSP-TS201S processor provides an easy and configurable
interface between its external bus and host processors through
the external port (see Figure 4). To accommodate a variety of
host processors, the host interface supports pipelined or slow
protocols for ADSP-TS201S processor access of the host as slave
or pipelined for host access of the ADSP-TS201S processor as
slave. Each protocol has programmable transmission parame­ters, such as idle cycles, pipe depth, and internal wait cycles.

The host interface supports burst transactions initiated by a host
processor. After the host issues the starting address of the burst
and asserts the BRST

Multiprocessor Interface

The ADSP-TS201S processor offers powerful features tailored
to multiprocessing DSP systems through the external port and
link ports (see Figure 4). This multiprocessing capability pro­vides the highest bandwidth for interprocessor communication,
including:

• Up to eight DSPs on a common bus

• On-chip arbitration for glueless multiprocessing

• Link ports for point-to-point communication

The external port and link ports provide integrated, glueless
multiprocessing support.

The external port supports a unified address space (see Figure 3)
that enables direct interprocessor accesses of each
ADSP-TS201S processor’s internal memory and registers. The
DSP’s on-chip distributed bus arbitration logic provides simple,
glueless connection for systems containing up to eight
ADSP-TS201S processors and a host processor. Bus arbitration
has a rotating priority. Bus lock supports indivisible read­modify-write sequences for semaphores. A bus fairness feature
prevents one DSP from holding the external bus too long.

The DSP’s four link ports provide a second path for interproces­sor communications with throughput of 4G bytes per second.
The cluster bus provides 1G byte per second throughput—with
a total of 4.8G bytes per second interprocessor bandwidth (lim­ited by SOC bandwidth).

SDRAM Controller

The SDRAM controller controls the ADSP-TS201S processor’s
transfers of data to and from external synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM) at a throughput of 32 bits or 64 bits per SCLK cycle
using the external port and SDRAM control pins.

The SDRAM interface provides a glueless interface with stan­dard SDRAMs—16M bit, 64M bit, 128M bit, 256M bit, and
512M bit. The DSP supports directly a maximum of four banks
of 64M words × 32 bits of SDRAM. The SDRAM interface is
mapped in external memory in each DSP’s unified
memory map.

EPROM Interface

The ADSP-TS201S processor can be configured to boot from an
external 8-bit EPROM at reset through the external port. An
automatic process (which follows reset) loads a program from
the EPROM into internal memory. This process uses 16 wait
cycles for each read access. During booting, the BMS
tions as the EPROM chip select signal. The EPROM boot
procedure uses DMA Channel 0, which packs the bytes into
32-bit instructions. Applications can also access the EPROM
(write flash memories) during normal operation through DMA.

The EPROM or flash memory interface is not mapped in the
DSP’s unified memory map. It is a byte address space limited to
a maximum of 16M bytes (24 address bits). The EPROM or
flash memory interface can be used after boot via a DMA.

DMA CONTROLLER

The ADSP-TS201S processor’s on-chip DMA controller, with
14 DMA channels, provides zero-overhead data transfers with­out processor intervention. The DMA controller operates
independently and invisibly to the DSP’s core, enabling DMA
operations to occur while the DSP’s core continues to execute
program instructions.

The DMA controller performs DMA transfers between internal
memory, external memory, and memory-mapped peripherals;
the internal memory of other DSPs on a common bus, a host
processor, or link port I/O; between external memory and exter­nal peripherals or link port I/O; and between an external bus
master and internal memory or link port I/O. The DMA con­troller performs the following DMA operations:

• External port block transfers. Four dedicated bidirectional
DMA channels transfer blocks of data between the DSP’s
internal memory and any external memory or memory­mapped peripheral on the external bus. These transfers
support master mode and handshake mode protocols.

• Link port transfers. Eight dedicated DMA channels (four
transmit and four receive) transfer quad-word data only
between link ports and between a link port and internal or

external memory. These transfers only use handshake
mode protocol. DMA priority rotates between the four
receive channels.

• AutoDMA transfers. Two dedicated unidirectional DMA
channels transfer data received from an external bus master
to internal memory or to link port I/O. These transfers only
use slave mode protocol, and an external bus master must
initiate the transfer.

The DMA controller provides these additional features:

• Flyby transfers. Flyby operations only occur through the
external port (DMA Channel 0) and do not involve the
DSP’s core. The DMA controller acts as a conduit to trans­fer data from an I/O device to external SDRAM memory.

Rev. C | Page 8 of 48 | December 2006

During a transaction, the DSP relinquishes the external
data bus; outputs addresses and memory selects
(MSSD3–0
RD

); outputs the IORD, IOWR, IOEN, and

/WR strobes; and responds to ACK.

• DMA chaining. DMA chaining operations enable applica­tions to automatically link one DMA transfer sequence to
another for continuous transmission. The sequences can
occur over different DMA channels and have different
transmission attributes.

• Two-dimensional transfers. The DMA controller can
access and transfer two-dimensional memory arrays on any
DMA transmit or receive channel. These transfers are
implemented with index, count, and modify registers for
both the X and Y dimensions.

ADSP-TS201S

LINK PORTS (LVDS)

The DSP’s four full-duplex link ports each provide additional
four-bit receive and four-bit transmit I/O capability, using low
voltage, differential-signal (LVDS) technology. With the ability
to operate at a double data rate—latching data on both the rising
and falling edges of the clock—running at up to 500 MHz, each
link port can support up to 500M bytes per second per direc­tion, for a combined maximum throughput of 4G bytes
per second.

The link ports provide an optional communications channel
that is useful in multiprocessor systems for implementing point­to-point interprocessor communications. Applications can also
use the link ports for booting.

Each link port has its own triple-buffered quad-word input and
double-buffered quad-word output registers. The DSP’s core
can write directly to a link port’s transmit register and read from
a receive register, or the DMA controller can perform DMA
transfers through eight (four transmit and four receive) dedi­cated link port DMA channels.

Each link port direction has three signals that control its opera­tion. For the transmitter, LxCLKOUT is the output transmit
clock, LxACKI is the handshake input to control the data flow,
and the LxBCMPO

output indicates that the block transfer is
complete. For the receiver, LxCLKIN is the input receive clock,
LxACKO is the handshake output to control the data flow, and
the LxBCMPI

input indicates that the block transfer is com­plete. The LxDATO3–0 pins are the data output bus for the
transmitter and the LxDATI3–0 pins are the input data bus for
the receiver.

Applications can program separate error detection mechanisms
for transmit and receive operations (applications can use the
checksum mechanism to implement consecutive link port
transfers), the size of data packets, and the speed at which bytes
are transmitted.

TIMER AND GENERAL-PURPOSE I/O

The ADSP-TS201S processor has a timer pin (TMR0E) that
generates output when a programmed timer counter has
expired, and four programmable general-purpose I/O pins
(FLAG3–0) that can function as either single-bit input or out­put. As outputs, these pins can signal peripheral devices; as
inputs, they can provide the test for conditional branching.

After reset, the ADSP-TS201S processor has four boot options
for beginning operation:

• Boot from EPROM.

• Boot by an external master (host or another ADSP-TS201S
processor).

•Boot by link port.

• No boot—start running from memory address selected
with one of the IRQ3–0

interrupt signals. See Table 2.

Using the “no boot” option, the ADSP-TS201S processor must
start running from memory when one of the interrupts is
asserted.

Table 2. No Boot, Run from Memory Addresses

0x3800 0000 (External Memory)
0x8000 0000 (External Memory)
0x0000 0000 (Internal Memory)

The ADSP-TS201S processor core always exits from reset in the
idle state and waits for an interrupt. Some of the interrupts in
the interrupt vector table are initialized and enabled after reset.

For more information on boot options, see the EE-200:

ADSP-TS20x TigerSHARC Processor Boot Loader Kernels Oper­ation on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com).

CLOCK DOMAINS

The DSP uses calculated ratios of the SCLK clock to operate, as
shown in Figure 5. The instruction execution rate is equal to
CCLK. A PLL from SCLK generates CCLK which is phase­locked. The SCLKRATx pins define the clock multiplication of
SCLK to CCLK (see Table 4 on Page 12). The link port clock is
generated from CCLK via a software programmable divisor, and
the SOC bus operates at 1/2 CCLK. Memory transfers to exter­nal and link port buffers operate at the SOCCLK rate. SCLK also
provides clock input for the external bus interface and defines
the ac specification reference for the external bus signals. The
external bus interface runs at the SCLK frequency. The maxi­mum SCLK frequency is one quarter the internal DSP clock
(CCLK) frequency.

RESET AND BOOTING

The ADSP-TS201S processor has three levels of reset:

• Power-up reset – after power-up of the system (SCLK, all
static inputs, and strap pins are stable), the RST_IN
must be asserted (low).

• Normal reset – for any chip reset following the power-up
reset, the RST_IN

pin must be asserted (low).

• DSP-core reset – when setting the SWRST bit in EMUCTL,
the DSP core is reset, but not the external port or I/O.

For normal operations, tie the RST_OUT
POR_IN

pin.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

The ADSP-TS201S processor is supported with a complete set
of CROSSCORE
including Analog Devices emulators and VisualDSP++
opment environment. The same emulator hardware that
supports other TigerSHARC processors also fully emulates the
ADSP-TS201S processor.

devel-

The VisualDSP++ project management environment lets pro­grammers develop and debug an application. This environment
includes an easy to use assembler (which is based on an alge­braic syntax), an archiver (librarian/library builder), a linker, a
loader, a cycle-accurate instruction-level simulator, a C/C++
compiler, and a C/C++ run-time library that includes DSP and
mathematical functions. A key point for theses tools is C/C++
code efficiency. The compiler has been developed for efficient
translation of C/C++ code to DSP assembly. The DSP has archi­tectural features that improve the efficiency of compiled
C/C++ code.

The VisualDSP++ debugger has a number of important
features. Data visualization is enhanced by a plotting package
that offers a significant level of flexibility. This graphical
representation of user data enables the programmer to quickly
determine the performance of an algorithm. As algorithms grow
in complexity, this capability can have increasing significance
on the designer’s development schedule, increasing
productivity. Statistical profiling enables the programmer to
nonintrusively poll the processor as it is running the program.
This feature, unique to VisualDSP++, enables the software
developer to passively gather important code execution metrics
without interrupting the real-time characteristics of the
program. Essentially, the developer can identify bottlenecks in
software quickly and efficiently. By using the profiler, the
programmer can focus on those areas in the program that
impact performance and take corrective action.

Debugging both C/C++ and assembly programs with the
VisualDSP++ debugger, programmers can:

• View mixed C/C++ and assembly code (interleaved source
and object information)

• Insert breakpoints

• Set conditional breakpoints on registers, memory,
and stacks

• Trace instruction execution

• Perform linear or statistical profiling of program execution

• Fill, dump, and graphically plot the contents of memory

• Perform source level debugging

• Create custom debugger windows

The VisualDSP++ IDE lets programmers define and manage
DSP software development. Its dialog boxes and property pages
let programmers configure and manage all of the TigerSHARC
processor development tools, including the color syntax high­lighting in the VisualDSP++ editor. This capability permits
programmers to:

• Control how the development tools process inputs and
generate outputs

• Maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the tool’s
command line switches

The VisualDSP++ Kernel (VDK) incorporates scheduling and
resource management tailored specifically to address the mem­ory and timing constraints of DSP programming. These
capabilities enable engineers to develop code more effectively,

Rev. C | Page 10 of 48 | December 2006

ADSP-TS201S

eliminating the need to start from the very beginning when
developing new application code. The VDK features include
threads, critical and unscheduled regions, semaphores, events,
and device flags. The VDK also supports priority-based, pre­emptive, cooperative, and time-sliced scheduling approaches. In
addition, the VDK was designed to be scalable. If the application
does not use a specific feature, the support code for that feature
is excluded from the target system.

Because the VDK is a library, a developer can decide whether to
use it or not. The VDK is integrated into the VisualDSP++
development environment, but can also be used via standard
command line tools. When the VDK is used, the development
environment assists the developer with many error-prone tasks
and assists in managing system resources, automating the gen­eration of various VDK-based objects, and visualizing the
system state, when debugging an application that uses the VDK.

VCSE is Analog Devices’ technology for creating, using, and
reusing software components (independent modules of sub­stantial functionality) to quickly and reliably assemble software
applications. It also is used for downloading components from
the Web, dropping them into the application, and publishing
component archives from within VisualDSP++. VCSE supports
component implementation in C/C++ or assembly language.

Use the expert linker to visually manipulate the placement of
code and data on the embedded system, view memory use in a
color-coded graphical form, easily move code and data to differ­ent areas of the DSP or external memory with a drag of the
mouse, and examine runtime stack and heap usage. The expert
linker is fully compatible with existing linker definition file
(LDF), allowing the developer to move between the graphical
and textual environments.

Analog Devices DSP emulators use the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test
access port of the ADSP-TS201S processor to monitor and con­trol the target board processor during emulation. The emulator
provides full speed emulation, allowing inspection and modifi­cation of memory, registers, and processor stacks. Nonintrusive
in-circuit emulation is assured by the use of the processor’s
JTAG interface—the emulator does not affect target system
loading or timing.

In addition to the software and hardware development tools
available from Analog Devices, third parties provide a wide
range of tools supporting the TigerSHARC processor family.
Hardware tools include TigerSHARC processor PC plug-in
cards. Third party software tools include DSP libraries, real­time operating systems, and block diagram design tools.

EVALUATION KIT

®

Analog Devices offers a range of EZ-KIT Lite
forms to use as a cost-effective method to learn more about
developing or prototyping applications with Analog Devices
processors, platforms, and software tools. Each EZ-KIT Lite
includes an evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of
the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment
with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. Also included

†

evaluation plat-

are sample application programs, power supply, and a USB
cable. All evaluation versions of the software tools are limited
for use only with the EZ-KIT Lite product.

The USB controller on the EZ-KIT Lite board connects the
board to the USB port of the user’s PC, enabling the
VisualDSP++ evaluation suite to emulate the on-board
processor in-circuit. This permits the customer to download,
execute, and debug programs for the EZ-KIT Lite system. It also
allows in-circuit programming of the on-board flash device to
store user-specific boot code, enabling the board to run as a
standalone unit, without being connected to the PC.

With a full version of VisualDSP++ installed (sold separately),
engineers can develop software for the EZ-KIT Lite or any
custom-defined system. Connecting one of Analog Devices
JTAG emulators to the EZ-KIT Lite board enables high speed,
nonintrusive emulation.

DESIGNING AN EMULATOR-COMPATIBLE DSP BOARD (TARGET)

The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every
DSP developer needs in order to test and debug hardware and
software systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1
JTAG test access port (TAP) on each JTAG DSP. The emulator
uses the TAP to access the internal features of the DSP, allowing
the developer to load code, set breakpoints, observe variables,
observe memory, and examine registers. The DSP must be
halted to send data and commands, but once an operation has
been completed by the emulator, the DSP system is set running
at full speed with no impact on system timing.

To use these emulators, the target board must include a header
that connects the DSP’s JTAG port to the emulator.

For details on target board design issues including mechanical
layout, single processor connections, multiprocessor scan
chains, signal buffering, signal termination, and emulator pod
logic, see the EE-68: Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical
Reference on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)—
use the string “EE-68” in site search. This document is updated
regularly to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

While most of the ADSP-TS201S processor’s input pins are nor­mally synchronous—tied to a specific clock—a few are
asynchronous. For these asynchronous signals, an on-chip syn­chronization circuit prevents metastability problems. Use the ac
specification for asynchronous signals when the system design
requires predictable, cycle-by-cycle behavior for these signals.

The output pins can be three-stated during normal operation.
The DSP three-states all output pins during reset, allowing these
pins to get to their internal pull-up or pull-down state. Some
pins have an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor (±30% toler­ance) that maintains a known value during transitions between
different drivers.

nc Address Bus. The DSP issues addresses for accessing memory and peripherals on

these pins. In a multiprocessor system, the bus master drives addresses for accessing
internal memory or I/O processor registers of other ADSP-TS201S processors. The DSP
inputs addresses when a host or another DSP accesses its internal memory or I/O
processor registers.

Memory Read. RD is asserted whenever the DSP reads from any slave in the system,
excluding SDRAM. When the DSP is a slave, RD

is an input and indicates read trans­actions that access its internal memory or universal registers. In a multiprocessor
system, the bus master drives RD. RD changes concurrently with ADDR pins.

epu

Write Low. WRL is asserted in two cases: when the ADSP-TS201S processor writes to
an even address word of external memory or to another external bus agent; and when
the ADSP-TS201S processor writes to a 32-bit zone (host, memory, or DSP
programmed to 32-bit bus). An external master (host or DSP) asserts WRL

for writing
to a DSP’s low word of internal memory. In a multiprocessor system, the bus master
drives WRL

. WRL changes concurrently with ADDR pins. When the DSP is a slave, WRL
is an input and indicates write transactions that access its internal memory or
universal registers.

epu

Write High. WRH is asserted when the ADSP-TS201S processor writes a long word
(64 bits) or writes to an odd address word of external memory or to another external
bus agent on a 64-bit data bus. An external master (host or another DSP) must assert

for writing to a DSP’s high word of 64-bit data bus. In a multiprocessing system,

WRH
the bus master drives WRH

. WRH changes concurrently with ADDR pins. When the
DSP is a slave, WRH is an input and indicates write transactions that access its internal
memory or universal registers.

epu

Acknowledge. External slave devices can deassert ACK to add wait states to external
memory accesses. ACK is used by I/O devices, memory controllers, and other periph­erals on the data phase. The DSP can deassert ACK to add wait states to read and write
accesses of its internal memory. The pull-up is 50 Ω on low-to-high transactions and
is 500 Ω on all other transactions.

reset, the DSP uses BMS

as a strap pin (EBOOT) for EPROM boot mode. In a multipro-

epu

Burst. The current bus master (DSP or host) asserts this pin to indicate that it is reading
or writing data associated with consecutive addresses. A slave device can ignore
addresses after the first one and increment an internal address counter after each
transfer. For host-to-DSP burst accesses, the DSP increments the address automati­cally while BRST

is asserted.

Multiprocessing Bus Request Pins. Used by the DSPs in a multiprocessor system to
arbitrate for bus mastership. Each DSP drives its own BRx line (corresponding to the
value of its ID2–0 inputs) and monitors all others. In systems with fewer than eight
DSPs, set the unused BRx

pins high (V

DD_IO

).

ID2–0 I (pd) na Multiprocessor ID. Indicates the DSP’s ID, from which the DSP determines its order in

a multiprocessor system. These pins also indicate to the DSP which bus request
(BR0

–BR7) to assert when requesting the bus: 000 = BR0, 001 = BR1, 010 = BR2,

011 = BR3

, 100 = BR4, 101 = BR5, 110 = BR6, or 111 = BR7. ID2–0 must have a

constant value during system operation and can change during reset only.

BM

O na Bus Master. The current bus master DSP asserts BM. For debugging only. At reset this

is a strap pin. For more information, see Table 16 on Page 20.

BOFF

I epu Back Off. A deadlock situation can occur when the host and a DSP try to read from

each other’s bus at the same time. When deadlock occurs, the host can assert BOFF
to force the DSP to relinquish the bus before completing its outstanding transaction.

BUSLOCK O/T

(pu_0)

HBR

I epu Host Bus Request. A host must assert HBR to request con trol of the DSP’s externa l bus.

na Bus Lock Indication. Provides an indication that the current bus master has locked the

bus. At reset, this is a strap pin. For more information, see Table 16 on Page 20.

When HBR

is asserted in a multiprocessing system, the bus master relinquishes the

bus and asserts HBG once the outstanding transaction is finished.

HBG

Host Bus Grant. Acknowledges HBR and indicates that the host can take control of
the external bus. When relinquishing the bus, the master DSP three-states the
ADDR31–0, DATA63–0, MSH

, MSSD3–0, MS1–0, RD, WRL, WRH, BMS, BRST, IORD,
IOWR, IOEN, RAS, CAS, SDWE, SDA10, SDCKE, LDQM, and HDQM pins, and the DSP
puts the SDRAM in self-refresh mode. The DSP asserts HBG

until the host deasserts
HBR. In multiprocessor systems, the current bus master DSP drives HBG, and all slave
DSPs monitor it.

CPA

I/O/OD
(pu_od_0)

epu

2

Core Priority Access. Asserted while the DSP’s core accesses external memory. This
pin enables a slave DSP to interrupt a master DSP’s background DMA transfers and
gain control of the external bus for core-initiated transactions. CPA

is an open drain
output, connected to all DSPs in the system. If not required in the system, leave CPA
unconnected (external pull-ups will be required for DSP ID = 1 through ID = 7).

DMA Priority Access. Asserted while a high priority DSP DMA channel accesses
external memory. This pin enables a high priority DMA channel on a slave DSP to
interrupt transfers of a normal priority DMA channel on a master DSP and gain control
of the external bus for DMA-initiated transactions. DPA
connected to all DSPs in the system. If not required in the system, leave DPA

I/A epu DMA Request Pins. Enable external I/O devices to request DMA services from the DSP.

In response to DMARx, the DSP performs DMA transfers according to the DMA
channel’s initialization. The DSP ignores DMA requests from uninitialized channels.

O/T

nc I/O Write. When a DSP DMA channel initiates a flyby mode read transaction, the DSP

asserts the IOWR

signal during the data cycles. This assertion makes the I/O device

sample the data instead of the TigerSHARC.

O/T

nc I/O Read. When a DSP DMA channel initiates a flyby mode write transaction, the DSP

asserts the IORD signal during the data cycle. This assertion with the IOEN makes the
I/O device drive the data instead of the TigerSHARC.

by transactions between the device and external memory. Active on flyby
