Estimating Power for ADSP-214xx SHARC® Processors
Contributed by Ramdas Chary, Jeyant hi J e gadee san and Divy a Sunkara Rev 4 – February 22, 2011
Introduction
This EE-Note discusses power consumption of
ADSP-214xx SHARC® processors based on
characterization data measured over power
supply voltage, core frequency (CCLK), and
junction temperature (TJ). The intent of this
document is to assist board designers in
estimating their power budget for power supply
and thermal relief designs using ADSP-214xx
processors.
Furthermore, the associated .ZIP file contains
spreadsheets for ADSP-2146x, ADSP-2147x,
and ADSP-2148x processors, all aimed t o a ssist
in power estimation. The accompanying
spreadsheets allow users to enter their
application-specific operating conditions and
system-level utilization of resources, and use
these inputs to calculate the total power
consumed by the processor.
The AD SP -214xx fa mily o f proc e s s ors is membe r
of the SIMD (single instruction multiple data)
SHARC family of processors, featuring the
Analog Devices Super Harvard architecture and
an enhanced SIMD VISA (variable instruction
size architecture) core. Like other SHARC
processors, they are 32-bit floating-point
processors optimized for high-precision signal
processing applications. They also contain
dedicated hardware units for performing FIR
(finite impulse response), IIR (infinite impulse
response), and FFT (fast Fourier transform)
algo rithms wit hout any co re intervent ion, ther eby
providing an efficient saving of core MIPs.
