The AD73411 is a single device incorporating a single analog front
end (AFE) and a microcomputer optimized for digital signal
processing (DSP) and other high-speed numeric processing
applications.
The AD73411’s analog front end (AFE) section is suitable for
general-purpose applications including speech and telephony.
The AFE section features a 16-bit A/D converter and a 16-bit
D/A converter. Each converter provides 76 dB signal-to-noise
ratio over a voiceband signal bandwidth.
The AD73411 is particularly suitable for a variety of applications
in the speech and telephony area, including low bit rate, highquality compression, speech enhancement, recognition, and
synthesis. The low group delay characteristic of the AFE makes
it suitable for single or multichannel active control applications.
The A/D and D/A conversion channels feature programmable
input/output gains with ranges of 38 dB and 21 dB respectively.
An on-chip reference voltage is included to allow single supply
operation.

allows easy expansion of the number of I/O channels by cascading extra AFEs external to the AD73411.
The AD73411’s DSP engine 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 AD73411-80 integrates 80K bytes of on-chip memory
configured as 16K words (24-bit) of program RAM, and 16K
words (16-bit) of data RAM. The AD73411-40 integrates
40K bytes of on-chip memory configured as 8K words (24bit) of program RAM, and 8K words (16-bit) of data RAM.
Power-down circuitry is also provided to meet the low power
needs of battery-operated portable equipment. The AD73411

Figure 1. Functional Block Diagram
Figure 1 is an overall block diagram of the AD73411. The processor section contains three independent computational units:
the ALU, the multiplier/accumulator (MAC) and the shifter. The
computational units directly process 16-bit data 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 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 AD73411 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.
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.
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 AD73411 can respond to eleven interrupts. 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 AD73411 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, eight
flags are programmable as inputs or outputs and three flags are
always outputs.
A programmable interval timer generates periodic interrupts. A
16-bit count register (TCOUNT) is decremented every n processor cycle, 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).
Analog Front End
The AFE section is configured as a separate block that is normally
connected to either SPORT0 or SPORT1 of the DSP section.
As it is not hardwired to either SPORT, users have total flexibility in how they wish to allocate system resources to support the
AFE. It is also possible to further expand the number of analog
I/O channels connected to the SPORT by cascading other single
or dual channel AFEs (AD73311 or AD73322) external to the
AD73411.

The AFE is configured as a single I/O channel (similar to that of
the discrete AD73311L; refer to the AD73311L data sheet for
more details) having a 16-bit sigma-delta-based ADC and DAC.
Both ADC and DAC share a common reference whose nominal
value is 1.2 V. Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the AFE section of the AD73411. It shows an ADC and DAC as well as a
common reference. Communication to both channels is handled
by the SPORT2 block which interfaces to either SPORT0 or
SPORT1 of the DSP section.
The I/O channel features fully differential inputs and outputs.
The input section allows direct connection to the internal Programmable Gain Amplifier at the input of the sigma-delta
ADC section. The input section also features programmable differential channel inversion and configuration of the differential
input as two separate single-ended inputs. The ADC features a
second order sigma-delta modulator which samples at MCLK/8.
Its bitstream output is filtered and decimated by a Sinc-cubed
decimator to provide a sample rate selectable from 64 kHz,
32 kHz, 16 kHz or 8 kHz (based on an MCLK of 16.384 MHz).
The DAC channel features a Sinc-cubed interpolator which
increases the sample rate from the selected rate to the digital
sigma-delta modulator rate of MCLK/8. The digital sigma-delta
modulator’s output bitstream is fed to a single-bit DAC whose
output is reconstructed/filtered by two stages of low-pass filtering
(switched capacitor and continuous time) before being applied
to the differential output driver.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Encoder Channel
The encoder channel consists of an input configuration block, a
switched capacitor PGA and a sigma-delta analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). An on-board digital filter, which forms part
of the sigma-delta ADC, also performs critical system-level
filtering. Due to the high level of oversampling, the input antialias requirements are reduced such that a simple single pole
RC stage is sufficient to give adequate attenuation in the band
of interest.
Input Configuration Block
The input configuration block consists of a multiplexing arrangement that allows selection of various input configurations. This
includes ADC input selection from either the VINP, VINN pins

or from the DAC output via the Analog Loop-Back (ALB)
arrangement. Differential inputs can be inverted and it is also
possible to use the device in single-ended mode, which allows
the option of using the VINP, VINN pins as two separate
single-ended inputs, either of which can be selected under software control.
Programmable Gain Amplifier
The encoder section’s analog front end comprises a switched
capacitor PGA that also forms part of the sigma-delta modulator.
The SC sampling frequency is DMCLK/8. The PGA, whose
programmable gain settings are shown in Table I, may be
used to increase the signal level applied to the ADC from low
output sources such as microphones, and can be used to avoid
placing external amplifiers in the circuit. The input signal level
to the sigma-delta modulator should not exceed the maximum
input voltage permitted.
The PGA gain is set by bits IGS0, IGS1 and IGS2 (CRD:0–2)
in Control Register D.
The ADC consists of an analog sigma-delta modulator and a
digital antialiasing decimation filter. The sigma-delta modulator noise-shapes the signal and produces 1-bit samples at a
DMCLK/8 rate. This bitstream, representing the analog input
signal, is input to the antialiasing decimation filter. The decimation filter reduces the sample rate and increases the resolution.

AD73411
Analog Sigma-Delta Modulator
The AD73411 input channel employs a sigma-delta conversion technique, which provides a high resolution 16-bit output
with system filtering being implemented on-chip.
Sigma-delta converters employ a technique known as oversampling, where the sampling rate is many times the highest
frequency of interest. In the case of the AD73411, the initial
sampling rate of the sigma-delta modulator is DMCLK/8. The
main effect of oversampling is that the quantization noise is
spread over a very wide bandwidth, up to f
/2 = DMCLK/16
S
(Figure 3a). This means that the noise in the band of interest is
much reduced. Another complementary feature of sigma-delta
converters is the use of a technique called noise-shaping. This
technique has the effect of pushing the noise from the band of
interest to an out-of-band position (Figure 3b). The combination of these techniques, followed by the application of a digital
filter, sufficiently reduces the noise in band to ensure good
dynamic performance from the part (Figure 3c).

Figure 3. Sigma-Delta Noise Reduction
Figure 4 shows the various stages of filtering that are employed
in a typical AD73411 application. In Figure 4a we see the
transfer function of the external analog antialias filter. Even
though it is a single RC pole, its cutoff frequency is sufficiently
far away from the initial sampling frequency (DMCLK/8) that it
takes care of any signals that could be aliased by the sampling
frequency. This also shows the major difference between the
initial oversampling rate and the bandwidth of interest. In Figure
4b, the signal and noise-shaping responses of the sigma-delta
modulator are shown. The signal response provides further
rejection of any high frequency signals while the noise-shaping
will push the inherent quantization noise to an out-of-band
position. The detail of Figure 4c shows the response of the
digital decimation filter (Sinc-cubed response) with nulls every

Decimation Filter
The digital filter used in the AD73411 carries out two important functions. Firstly, it removes the out-of-band quantization
noise, which is shaped by the analog modulator and secondly, it
decimates the high-frequency bitstream to a lower rate 15-bit word.
The antialiasing decimation filter is a sinc-cubed digital filter that
reduces the sampling rate from DMCLK/8 at the modulator to
an output rate at the SPORT of DMCLK/M (where M depends
on the sample rate setting—M = 256 @ 64 kHz; M = 512 @
32 kHz, M = 1024 @ 16 kHz, M = 2048 @ 8 kHz), and increases
the resolution from a single bit to 15 bits. Its Z transform is given
as: [(1–Z–N)/(1–Z–1)]3 where N is determined by the sampling rate
(N = 32 @ 64 kHz, N = 64 @ 32 kHz, N = 128 @ 16 kHz, N =
256 @ 8 kHz). This ensures a minimal group delay of 25 µs at the
64 kHz sampling rate.

AD73411
ADC Coding
The ADC coding scheme is in twos complement format (see
Figure 5). The output words are formed by the decimation
filter, which grows the word length from the single-bit output of
the sigma-delta modulator to a 15-bit word, which is the 16-bit
transfer being used as a flag bit to indicate either control or data
in the frame.

Figure 5. ADC Transfer Function
Decoder Channel
The decoder channel consists of a digital interpolator, digital
sigma-delta modulator, a single bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC), an analog smoothing filter and a programmable gain
amplifier with differential output.
DAC Coding
The DAC coding scheme is in twos complement format with
0x7FFF being full-scale positive and 0x8000 being full-scale
negative.
Interpolation Filter
The anti-imaging interpolation filter is a sinc-cubed digital filter
which upsamples the 16-bit input words from the SPORT
input rate of DMCLK/M (where M depends on the sample rate
setting (M = 256 @ 64 kHz; M = 512 @ 32 kHz, M = 1024 @
16 kHz, M = 2048 @ 8 kHz), to a rate of DMCLK/8 while
filtering to attenuate images produced by the interpolation process. Its Z transform is given as: [(1–Z
–N
)/(1–Z–1)]3 where N is
determined by the sampling rate (N = 32 @ 64 kHz, N = 64 @
32 kHz, N = 128 @ 16 kHz, N = 256 @ 8 kHz). The DAC
receives 16-bit samples from the host DSP processor at a rate of
DMCLK/M. If the host processor fails to write a new value to
the serial port, the existing (previous) data is read again. The
data stream is filtered by the anti-imaging interpolation filter,
but there is an option to bypass the interpolator for the minimum group delay configuration by setting the IBYP bit (CRE:5) of
Control Register E. The interpolation filter has the same characteristics as the ADC’s antialiasing decimation filter.
The output of the interpolation filter is fed to the DAC’s digital
sigma-delta modulator, which converts the 16-bit data to 1-bit
samples at a rate of DMCLK/8. The modulator noise-shapes
the signal so that errors inherent to the process are minimized
in the passband of the converter. The bitstream output of the
sigma-delta modulator is fed to the single bit DAC where it is
converted to an analog voltage.
Analog Smoothing Filter and PGA
The output of the single-bit DAC is sampled at DMCLK/8,
therefore it is necessary to filter the output to reconstruct the
low frequency signal. The decoder’s analog smoothing filter
consists of a continuous-time filter preceded by a third-order
switched-capacitor filter. The continuous-time filter forms part
of the output programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA
can be used to adjust the output signal level from –15 dB to
+6 dB in 3 dB steps, as shown in Table II. The PGA gain is
set by bits OGS0, OGS1 and OGS2 (CRD:4-6) in Control
Register D.
The decoder has a differential analog output pair (VOUTP and
VOUTN). The output channel can be muted by setting the
MUTE bit (CRD:7) in Control Register D. The output signal is
dc-biased to the codec’s on-chip voltage reference.
Voltage Reference
The AD73411 reference, REFCAP, is a bandgap reference
that provides a low noise, temperature-compensated reference
to the DAC and ADC. A buffered version of the reference is
also made available on the REFOUT pin and can be used to
bias other external analog circuitry. The reference has a default
nominal value of 1.2 V.
The reference output (REFOUT) can be enabled for biasing
external circuitry by setting the RU bit (CRC:6) of CRC.
AFE Serial Port (SPORT2)
The AFE section communicates with the DSP section via its
bidirectional synchronous serial port (SPORT2), which interfaces
to either SPORT0 or SPORT1 of the DSP section. SPORT2 is
used to transmit and receive digital data and control information.
This allows other single or dual codec devices to be cascaded
together (up to a limit of eight codec units).
In both transmit and receive modes, data is transferred at the
serial clock (SCLK2) rate with the MSB being transferred first.
Communications between the AFE section and the DSP section
must always be initiated by the AFE section (AFE is in master
mode—DSP SPORT is in slave mode). This ensures that there
is no collision between input data and output samples.

SPORT2 Overview
SPORT2 is a flexible, full-duplex, synchronous serial port
whose protocol has been designed to allow extra AFE devices
(AD733xx series), up to a maximum of eight I/O channels, to be
connected in cascade to a DSP SPORT (0 or 1). It has a very
flexible architecture that can be configured by programming two
of the internal control registers. SPORT2 has three distinct
modes of operation: Control Mode, Data Mode and Mixed
Control/Data Mode.
In Control Mode (CRA:0 = 0), the device’s internal configuration can be programmed by writing to the five internal control
registers. In this mode, control information can be written to or
read from the codec. In Data Mode (CRA:0 = 1), information
that is sent to the device is used to update the decoder section
(DAC), while the encoder section (ADC) data is read from the
device. In this mode, only DAC and ADC data is written to or
read from the device. Mixed mode (CRA:0 = 1 and CRA:1 = 1)
allows the user to choose whether the information being sent to
the device contains either control information or DAC data.
This is achieved by using the MSB of the 16-bit frame as a flag
bit. Mixed mode reduces the resolution to 15 bits, with the MSB
being used to indicate whether the information in the 16-bit frame
is control information or DAC/ADC data.
The SPORT features a single 16-bit serial register that is used for
both input and output data transfers. As the input and output
data must share the same register some precautions must be
observed. The primary precaution is that no information be
written to the SPORT without reference to an output sample
event, which is when the serial register will be overwritten with
the latest ADC sample word. Once the SPORT starts to output
the latest ADC word, it is safe for the DSP to write new control
or data words to the codec. In certain configurations, data can be
written to the device to coincide with the output sample being
shifted out of the serial register—see section on interfacing devices.
The serial clock rate (CRB:2–3) defines how many 16-bit words
can be written to a device before the next output sample event
will happen.
The SPORT block diagram, shown in Figure 6, details the six
control registers (A–F), external MCLK to internal DMCLK
divider, and serial clock divider. The divider rates are controlled
by the setting of Control Register B. The AD73411 features a
master clock divider that allows users the flexibility of dividing
externally available high-frequency DSP or CPU clocks to generate a lower frequency master clock internally in the codec which
may be more suitable for either serial transfer or sampling rate
requirements. The master clock divider has five divider options
(÷ 1 default condition, ÷ 2, ÷ 3, ÷ 4, ÷ 5) that are set by loading
the master clock divider field in Register B with the appropriate code. Once the internal device master clock (DMCLK)
has been set using the master clock divider, the sample rate
and serial clock settings are derived from DMCLK.
The SPORT can work at four different serial clock (SCLK) rates:
chosen from DMCLK, DMCLK/2, DMCLK/4, or DMCLK/8,
where DMCLK is the internal or device master clock resulting
from the external or pin master clock being divided by the
master clock divider. When working at the lower SCLK rate of
DMCLK/8, which is intended for interfacing with slower DSPs,
the SPORT will support a maximum of two devices in cascade
with the sample rate of DMCLK/256.
SPORT2 Register Maps
There are two register banks for the AD73411: the control
register bank and the data register bank. The control register
bank consists of six read/write registers, each eight bits wide.
Table VII shows the control register map for the AD73411. The
first two control registers, CRA and CRB, are reserved for controlling the SPORT. They hold settings for parameters such as
bit rate, internal master clock rate, and device count (used when
more than one AFE is connected in cascade from a single
SPORT). The other three registers; CRC, CRD, and CRE are
used to hold control settings for the ADC, DAC, Reference,
and Power Control sections of the device. Control registers
are written to on the negative edge of SCLK. The data register
bank consists of two 16-bit registers that are the DAC and
ADC registers.
Master Clock Divider
The AD73411 features a programmable master clock divider
that allows the user to reduce an externally available master
clock, at pin MCLK, by one of the ratios 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, to
produce an internal master clock signal (DMCLK) that is used
to calculate the sampling and serial clock rates. The master
clock divider is programmable by setting CRB:4–6. Table III
shows the division ratio corresponding to the various bit settings.
The default divider ratio is divide-by-one.
The AD73411 features a programmable serial clock divider that
allows users to match the serial clock (SCLK) rate of the data to
that of the DSP engine or host processor. The maximum SCLK
rate available is DMCLK and the other available rates are:
DMCLK/2, DMCLK/4, and DMCLK/8. The slowest rate
(DMCLK/8) is the default SCLK rate. The serial clock divider
is programmable by setting bits CRB:2–3. Table IV shows the
serial clock rate corresponding to the various bit settings.

Sample Rate Divider
The AD73411 features a programmable sample rate divider that
allows users flexibility in matching the codec’s ADC and DAC
sample rates to the needs of the DSP software. The maximum
sample rate available is DMCLK/256, which offers the lowest
conversion group delay, while the other available rates are:
DMCLK/512, DMCLK/1024, and DMCLK/2048. The slowest
rate (DMCLK/2048) is the default sample rate. The sample
rate divider is programmable by setting bits CRB:0–1. Table V
shows the sample rate corresponding to the various bit settings.

DAC Advance Register
The loading of the DAC is internally synchronized with the
unloading of the ADC data in each sampling interval. The
default DAC load event happens one SCLK cycle before the
SDOFS flag is raised by the ADC data being ready. However,
this DAC load position can be advanced before this time by
modifying the contents of the DAC Advance field in Control
Register E (CRE:0–4). The field is five bits wide, allowing 31
increments of weight 1/(DMCLK/8); see Table VI. In certain
circumstances this can reduce the group delay when the ADC
and DAC are used to process data in series.
Note: The DAC advance register should be changed before the
DAC section is powered up.

OPERATION
Resetting the AFE Section of the AD73411
The RESET pin resets all the control registers. All registers are
reset to zero, indicating that the default SCLK rate (DMCLK/8)
and sample rate (DMCLK/2048) are at a minimum to ensure
that slow speed DSP engines can communicate effectively. As well
as resetting the control registers using the RESET pin, the device
can be reset using the RESET bit (CRA:7) in Control Register
A. Both hardware and software resets require four DMCLK cycles.
On reset, DATA/PGM (CRA:0) is set to 0 (default condition)
thus enabling Program Mode. The reset conditions ensure that
the device must be programmed to the correct settings after
power-up or reset. Following a reset, the SDOFS will be asserted
2048 DMCLK cycles after RESET going high. The data that
is output following RESET and during Program Mode is random
and contains no valid information until either Data or Mixed
Mode is set.
Power Management
The individual functional blocks of the AFE can be enabled
separately by programming the power control register CRC. It
allows certain sections to be powered down if not required,
which adds to the device’s flexibility in that the user need not
incur the penalty of having to provide power for a certain
section if it is not necessary to their design. The power control
register provides individual control settings for the major functional blocks and also a global override that allows all sections to
be powered up by setting the bit. Using this method the user
could, for example, individually enable a certain section, such
as the reference (CRC:5), and disable all others. The global
power-up (CRC:0) can be used to enable all sections but if
power-down is required using the global control, the reference
will still be enabled, in this case, because its individual bit is set.
Refer to Table XI for details of the settings of CRC.
Bit 15Control/DataWhen set high, it signifies a control word in Program or Mixed Program/Data Modes. When
set low, it signifies a data word in Mixed Program/Data Mode or an invalid control word in
Program Mode.
Bit 14Read/WriteWhen set low, it tells the device that the data field is to be written to the register selected by
the register field setting provided the address field is zero. When set high, it tells the device
that the selected register is to be written to the data field in the input serial register and that
the new control word is to be output from the device via the serial output.
Bits 13–11Device AddressThis 3-bit field holds the address information. Only when this field is zero is a device selected.
If the address is not zero, it is decremented and the control word is passed out of the device
via the serial output.

AFE Operating Modes
Five operating modes are available on the AFE. Two of these—
Digital Loop-Back and Sport Loop-Back—are provided as
diagnostic modes with the other three, Program, Data and
Mixed Program/Data, being available for general-purpose use.
The device configuration—register settings—can be changed
only in Program, and Mixed Program/Data Modes. In all modes,
transfers of information to or from the device occur in 16-bit
packets, therefore the DSP engine’s SPORT will be programmed
for 16-bit transfers.
Program (Control) Mode
In Program Mode, CRA:0 = 0, the user writes to the control
registers to set up the device for desired operation—SPORT
operation, cascade length, power management, input/output
gain, etc. In this mode, the 16-bit information packet sent to the
device by the DSP engine is interpreted as a control word whose
format is shown in Table VIII. In this mode, the user must address
the device to be programmed using the address field of the control
word. This field is read by the device and if it is zero (000 bin),
the device recognizes the word as being addressed to it. If the
address field is not zero, it is then decremented and the control
word is passed out of the device—either to the next device in a
cascade or back to the DSP engine. This 3-bit address format
allows the user to uniquely address any one of up to eight devices
in a cascade; please note that this addressing scheme is valid only
in sending control information to the device—a different format
is used to send DAC data to the device(s). In a single codec
configuration, all control word addresses must be zero, otherwise they will not be recognized; in a multicodec configuration
all addresses from zero to N-1 (where N = number of devices in
cascade) are valid.
Following reset, when the SE pin is enabled, the codec responds
by raising the SDOFS pin to indicate that an output sample
event has occurred. Control words can be written to the device to
coincide with the data being sent out of the SPORT, as shown in
Figure 7, or they can lag the output words by a time interval
that should not exceed the sample interval. After reset, output
frame sync pulses will occur at a slower default sample rate, which
is DMCLK/2048, until Control Register B is programmed, after
which the SDOFS pulses will occur at a rate set by the DIR0–1 bits
of CRB. This is to allow slow controller devices to establish
communication with the AFE. During Program Mode, the
data output by the device is random and should not be interpreted as ADC data.
Data Mode
Once the device has been configured by programming the correct settings to the various control registers, the device may exit
Program Mode and enter Data Mode. This is done by programming the DATA/PGM (CRA:0) bit to a 1 and MM (CRA:1) to
0. Once the device is in Data Mode, the 16-bit input data frame
is now interpreted as DAC data rather than a control frame. This
data is therefore loaded directly to the DAC register. In Data
Mode, as the entire input data frame contains DAC data, the
device relies on counting the number of input frame syncs
received at the SDIFS pin. When that number equals the device
count stored in the device count field of CRA, the device knows
that the present data frame being received is its own DAC update
data. When the device is in normal Data Mode (i.e., mixed
mode disabled), it must receive a hardware reset to reprogram
any of the control register settings. In a single codec configuration, each 16-bit data frame sent from the DSP to the device is
interpreted as DAC data. The default device count is 1, therefore
each input frame sync will cause the 16-bit data frame to be
loaded to the DAC register.
Mixed Program/Data Mode
This mode allows the user to send control words to the device
along with the DAC data. This permits adaptive control of the
device whereby control of the input/output gains can be affected
by interleaving control words along with the normal flow of
DAC data. The standard data frame remains 16 bits, but now
the MSB is used as a flag bit to indicate whether the remaining
15 bits of the frame represent DAC data or control information.
In the case of DAC data, the 15 bits are loaded with MSB justification and LSB set to 0 to the DAC register. Mixed Mode is
enabled by setting the MM bit (CRA:1) to 1 and the DATA/PGM
bit (CRA:0) to 1. In the case where control setting changes will
be required during normal operation, this mode allows the
ability to load both control and data information with the slight
inconvenience of formatting the data. Note that the output
samples from the ADC will also have the MSB set to zero to
indicate it is a data word.
Digital Loop-Back
This mode can be used for diagnostic purposes and allows the
user to feed the ADC samples from the ADC register directly to
the DAC register. This forms a loop-back of the analog input to
the analog output by reconstructing the encoded signal using
the decoder channel. The serial interface will continue to work,
which allows the user to control gain settings, etc. Only when
DLB is enabled with Mixed Mode operation can the user disable
the DLB, otherwise the device must be reset.
Sport Loop-Back
This mode allows the user to verify the DSP interfacing and
connection by writing words to the SPORT of the device and
have them returned back unchanged at the next sample interval.
The frame sync and data word that are sent to the device are
returned via the output port. Again, SLB mode can only be
disabled when used in conjunction with mixed mode, otherwise
the device must be reset.
Analog Loop-Back
In Analog Loop-Back mode, the differential DAC output is
connected, via a loop-back switch, to the ADC input (see Figure
9). This mode allows the ADC channel to check functionality of
the DAC channel as the reconstructed output signal can be
monitored using the ADC as a sampler. Analog Loop-Back is
enabled by setting the ALB bit (CRF:7).

AFE Interfacing
The AFE section SPORT (SPORT2) can be interfaced to either
SPORT0 or SPORT1 of the DSP section. Both serial input and
output data use an accompanying frame synchronization signal
which is active high one clock cycle before the start of the 16-bit
word or during the last bit of the previous word if transmission
is continuous. The serial clock (SCLK) is an output from the
codec and is used to define the serial transfer rate to the DSP’s
Tx and Rx ports. Two primary configurations can be used: the
first is shown in Figure 10 where the DSP’s Tx data, Tx Frame
Sync, Rx data and Rx Frame Sync are connected to the codec’s
SDI, SDIFS, SDO and SDOFS respectively. This configuration,
referred to as indirectly coupled or nonframe sync loop-back,
has the effect of decoupling the transmission of input data from
the receipt of output data. The delay between receipt of codec
output data and transmission of input data for the codec is
determined by the DSP’s software latency. When programming
the DSP serial port for this configuration, it is necessary to set
the Rx Frame Sync as an input and the Tx Frame Sync as an
output generated by the DSP. This configuration is most useful
when operating in mixed mode, as the DSP has the ability to
decide how many words (either DAC or control) can be sent to
the codecs. This means that full control can be implemented
over the device configuration as well as updating the DAC in a
given sample interval. The second configuration (shown in
Figure 11) has the DSP’s Tx data and Rx data connected to the
codec’s SDI and SDO, respectively while the DSP’s Tx and Rx
frame syncs are connected to the codec’s SDIFS and SDOFS.
In this configuration, referred to as directly coupled or frame
sync loop-back, the frame sync signals are connected together
and the input data to the codec is forced to be synchronous with
the output data from the codec. The DSP must be programmed
so that both the Tx Frame Sync and Rx Frame Sync are inputs
as the codec SDOFS will be input to both. This configuration
guarantees that input and output events occur simultaneously
and is the simplest configuration for operation in normal Data
Mode. Note that when programming the DSP in this configuration
it is advisable to preload the Tx register with the first control
word to be sent before the codec is taken out of reset. This
ensures that this word will be transmitted to coincide with the
first output word from the device(s).

Cascade Operation
The AD73411 has been designed to support up to eight codecs in
a cascade connected to a single serial port. The SPORT interface
protocol has been designed so that device addressing is built
into the packet of information sent to the device. This allows the
cascade to be formed with no extra hardware overhead for
control signals or addressing. A cascade can be formed in
either of the two modes previously discussed.
There may be some restrictions in cascade operation due to the
number of devices configured in the cascade and the serial clock
rate chosen. Table XV details the requirements for SCLK rate
for cascade lengths from 1 to 8 devices. This assumes a directly
coupled frame sync arrangement as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Directly Coupled or Frame Sync LoopBack Configuration
When using the indirectly coupled frame sync configuration in
cascaded operation it is necessary to be aware of the restrictions
in sending data to all devices in the cascade. Effectively, the
time allowed is given by the sampling interval (256/DMCLK)
which is 15.625 µs for a sample rate of 64 kHz. In this interval, the
DSP must transfer N × 16 bits of information where N is the
number of devices in the cascade. Each bit will take 1/SCLK
and, allowing for any latency between the receipt of the Rx
interrupt and the transmission of the Tx data, the relationship
for successful operation is given by:
256/DMCLK > ((N × 16/SCLK) + T
INTERRUPT LATENCY
)
The interrupt latency will include the time between the ADC
sampling event and the Rx interrupt being generated in the
DSP—this should be 16 SCLK cycles.

AD73411
In Cascade Mode, each device must know the number of devices
in the cascade because the Data and Mixed modes use a method
of counting input frame sync pulses to decide when they should
update the DAC register from the serial input register. Control
Register A contains a 3-bit field (DC0–2) that is programmed
by the DSP during the programming phase. The default condition is that the field contains 000b, which is equivalent to a
single device in cascade (see Table XVI). For cascade operation,
however this field must contain a binary value that is one less
than the number of devices in the cascade.

Figure 12. Functional Block Diagram
Figure 12 is an overall block diagram of the AD73411. 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 floating-point
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 AD73411 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 AD73411 to fetch two operands in a single cycle, one from
program memory and one from data memory. The AD73411
can fetch an operand from program memory and the next instruction in the same cycle.
In lieu of the address and data bus for external memory connection, the AD73411 may be configured for 16-bit Internal DMA
port (IDMA port) 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 AD73411 to
continue running from on-chip memory. Normal execution
mode requires the processor to halt while buses are granted.

AD73411
The AD73411 can respond to eleven interrupts. There can be
up to six external interrupts (one edge-sensitive, two levelsensitive 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 AD73411 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, eight
flags are programmable as inputs or outputs and three flags are
always outputs.
A programmable interval timer generates periodic interrupts. A
16-bit count register (TCOUNT) is decremented every n processor cycle, 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 DSP section incorporates two complete synchronous serial
ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) for serial communications and
multiprocessor communication.
Following is a brief list of the capabilities of the SPORTs. For
additional information on Serial Ports, refer to the ADSP-2100Family User’s Manual, Third Edition.
•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.
DSP SECTION PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The AD73411 is available in a 119-ball PBGA package. In order
to maintain maximum functionality and reduce package size and
pin count, some serial port, programmable flag, interrupt, and
external bus pins have dual, multiplexed functionality. The external bus pins are configured during RESET only, while serial port
pins are software configurable during program execution. Flag
and interrupt functionality is retained concurrently on multiplexed pins. In cases where pin functionality is reconfigurable,
the default state is shown in plain text; alternate functionality is
shown in italics. See Pin Function Descriptions section.
Memory Interface Pins
The AD73411 processor can be used in one of two modes, Full
Memory Mode, which allows BDMA operation with full external overlay memory and I/O capability, or Host Mode, which
allows IDMA operation with limited external addressing capabilities. The operating mode is determined by the state of the
Mode C pin during RESET and cannot be changed while the
processor is running. See Full Memory Mode Pins and Host
Mode Pins charts for descriptions.

Interrupts
The interrupt controller allows the processor to respond to the
eleven possible interrupts and RESET with minimum overhead.
The AD73411 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
AD73411 also supports internal interrupts from the timer, the
byte DMA port, the two serial ports, software, and the powerdown 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 XVII.
Table XVII. Interrupt Priority and Interrupt Vector Addresses

SPORT0 Receive0014
IRQE0018
BDMA Interrupt001C
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 AD73411 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 AD73411 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 AD73411 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 power-down
features. Refer to the ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual, Third
Edition, “System Interface” chapter, for detailed information
about the power-down feature.
•Quick recovery from power-down. The processor begins
executing instructions in as few as 400 CLKIN cycles.
•Support for an externally generated TTL or CMOS processor clock. The external clock can continue running during
power-down without affecting the 400 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 400 CLKIN cycle startup.
•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 power-down.
•Power-down acknowledge pin indicates when the processor
has entered power-down.
Idle
When the AD73411 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.
In Idle Mode IDMA, BDMA, and Autobuffer Cycle steals still
occur.
Slow Idle
The IDLE instruction on the AD73411 slows the processor’s
internal clock signal, 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.
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 AD73411 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
rate faster 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 13 shows a typical basic system configuration with the
AD73411, two serial devices, a byte-wide EPROM, and
optional external program and data overlay memories (mode
selectable). Programmable wait state generation allows the processor to connect easily to slow peripheral devices. The AD73411 also
provides four external interrupts and two serial ports or six
external interrupts and one serial port. Host Memory Mode allows
access to the full external data bus, but limits addressing to a
single address bit (A0). Additional system peripherals can be
added in this mode through the use of external hardware to
generate and latch address signals.
Clock Signals
The AD73411 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
power-down state. For detailed information on this power-down
feature, refer to Chapter 9, ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual,
Third Edition.
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 AD73411 uses an input clock with a frequency equal to half
the instruction rate; a 26.00 MHz input clock yields a 19 ns
processor cycle (which is equivalent to 52 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.

DSP
Figure 14. External Crystal Connections
Because the AD73411 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 14. 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 CLK0DIS bit in the SPORT0 Autobuffer Control Register.
Reset
The RESET signal initiates a master reset of the DSP section of
the AD73411. 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
is applied
DD
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 pulsewidth
specification, t
RSP
.
The RESET input contains some hysteresis; however, if an
RC circuit is used to generate the RESET signal, an external
Schmitt 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, the boot-loading sequence is
performed. Once boot loading completes, the first instruction is
fetched from on-chip program memory location 0x0000.
MODES OF OPERATION
Table XVII summarizes the AD73411 memory modes.
Setting Memory Mode
Memory Mode selection for the AD73411 is made during
chip reset through the use of the Mode C pin. This pin is multiplexed with the DSP’s PF2 pin, so care must be taken in how
the mode selection is made. The two methods for selecting the
value of Mode C are active and passive.
Passive Configuration involves the use a pull-up or pull-down
resistor connected to the Mode C pin. To minimize power
consumption, or if the PF2 pin is to be used as an output in the
DSP application, a weak pull-up or pull-down, on the order
of 100 kΩ, can be used. This value should be sufficient to pull the
pin to the desired level and still allow the pin to operate as
a programmable flag output without undue strain on the
processor’s output driver. For minimum power consumption
during power-down, reconfigure PF2 to be an input, as the
pull-up or pull-down will hold the pin in a known state and will
not switch.
Active Configuration involves the use of a three-statable
external driver connected to the Mode C pin. A driver’s output
enable should be connected to the DSP’s RESET signal such
that it only drives the PF2 pin when RESET is active (low).
When RESET is deasserted, the driver should three-state, thus
allowing full use of the PF2 pin as either an input or output. To
minimize power consumption during power-down, configure the
programmable flag as an output when connected to a three-stated
buffer. This ensures that the pin will be held at a constant level
and not oscillate should the three-state driver’s level hover around
the logic switching point.

MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
The AD73411 provides a variety of memory and peripheral
interface options. The key functional groups are Program
Memory, Data Memory, Byte Memory, and I/O. Refer to the
following figures and tables for PM and DM memory allocations
in the AD73411.
PROGRAM MEMORY
Program Memory (Full Memory Mode) is a 24-bit-wide
space for storing both instruction op codes and data. The
AD73411-80 has 16K words of Program Memory RAM on chip
(the AD73411-40 has 8K 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.
Program Memory (Host Mode) allows access to all internal
memory. External overlay access is limited by a single external
address line (A0). External program execution is not available in
host mode due to a restricted data bus that is only 16 bits wide.

DATA MEMORY
Data Memory (Full Memory Mode) is a 16-bit-wide space
used for the storage of data variables and for memory-mapped
control registers. The AD73411-80 has 16K words on Data
Memory RAM on-chip (the AD73411-40 has 8K words on Data
Memory RAM on-chip), consisting of 16,352 user-accessible
locations in the case of the AD73411-80 (8,160 user-accessible
locations in the case of the AD73411-40) and 32 memorymapped registers. Support also exists for up to two 8K external
memory overlay spaces through the external data bus. 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 (Full Memory Mode)
The AD73411 supports an additional external memory space
called I/O space. This space is designed to support simple connections to peripherals (such as data converters and external registers)
or to bus interface ASIC data registers. I/O space supports 2048
locations of 16-bit-wide data. The lower 11-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, IOWAIT03, that 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 XXI.
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 default to 1 at reset,
except the BMS bit.
Boot Memory Select (BMS) Disable
The AD73411 also lets you boot the processor from one external memory space while using a different external memory space
for BDMA transfers during normal operation. You can use the
CMS to select the first external memory space for BDMA transfers and BMS to select the second external memory space for
booting. The BMS signal can be disabled by setting Bit 3 of the
System Control Register to 1. The System Control Register is
illustrated in Figure 17.

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 BDMA Control Register is shown in Figure 18. The byte memory space consists of
256 pages, each of which is 16K × 8.
The byte memory space on the AD73411 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, Full Memory Mode)
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.
Composite Memory Select (CMS)
The AD73411 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.
Each bit in the CMSSEL register, when set, 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.

Figure 18. BDMA Control Register
The BDMA circuit supports four different data formats that 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 XXII shows the data formats supported by the BDMA circuit.

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.
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 or not
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.
The BDMA overlay bits specify the OVLAY memory blocks to
be accessed for internal memory.
Internal Memory DMA Port (IDMA Port; Host Memory
Mode)
The IDMA Port provides an efficient means of communication
between a host system and the AD73411. 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 be used, however, to write to the DSP’s memorymapped control registers. A typical IDMA transfer process is
described as follows:
1. Host starts IDMA transfer.
2. Host checks IACK control line to see if the DSP is busy.
3. Host uses IS and IAL control lines to latch the DMA starting
address (IDMAA) into the DSP’s IDMA control registers.
IAD[15] must be set = 0.
4. Host uses IS and IRD (or IWR) to read (or write) DSP inter-
nal memory (PM or DM).
5. Host checks IACK line to see if the DSP has completed the
previous IDMA operation.
6. Host ends IDMA transfer.
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
AD73411 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
14-bit 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 AD73411’s on-chip memory. Asserting the
select line (IS) and the appropriate read or write line (IRD and
IWR respectively) signals the AD73411 that a particular transaction is required. In either case, there is a one-processor-cycle
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. Asserting
the IDMA port select (IS) and address latch enable (IAL) directs the AD73411 to write the address onto the IAD0–14 bus
into the IDMA Control Register. The IDMAA register, shown
below, is memory mapped at address DM (0x3FE0). Note that
the latched address (IDMAA) cannot be read back by the
host. See Figure 19 for more information on IDMA and DMA
memory maps.

The AD73411 has two mechanisms to allow automatic loading
of the internal program memory after reset. The method for
booting after reset is controlled by the Mode A, B and C configuration bits.
When the mode pins specify BDMA booting, the AD73411
initiates a BDMA boot sequence when reset is released.
–28–
REV. 0
Page 29
AD73411
When BDMA booting is specified, the BDMA interface is set up
during reset to the following defaults: 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 onchip 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. For BDMA accesses while in Host Mode, the addresses to boot memory must be constructed externally to the
AD73411. A0 is the only memory address bit provided by the
processor.
IDMA Port Booting
The AD73411 can also boot programs through its Internal DMA
port. If Mode C = 1, Mode B = 0 and Mode A = 1, the AD73411
boots from the IDMA port. IDMA feature can load as much onchip memory as desired. Program execution is held off until
on-chip program memory location 0 is written to.
Bus Request and Bus Grant (Full Memory Mode)
The AD73411 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 AD73411
is not performing an external memory access, 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
•Halting program execution
If Go Mode is enabled, the AD73411 will not halt program
execution until it encounters an instruction that requires an
external memory access.
If the AD73411 is performing an external memory access when
the external device asserts the BR signal, 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 at which 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 AD73411 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 AD73411
deasserts BG and BGH and executes the external memory access.

Flag I/O Pins
The AD73411 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 AD73411’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 AD73411 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.
Note: Pins PF0, PF1, PF2, and PF3 are also used for device
configuration during reset.
INSTRUCTION SET DESCRIPTION
The AD73411 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 assembler mnemonics. For example, a typical arithmetic
add instruction, such as AR = AX0 + AY0, resembles a
simple equation.
•Every instruction assembles into a single, 24-bit word that
can execute in a single instruction cycle.
•The syntax is a superset ADSP-2100 Family assembly language
and is completely source-and object-code-compatible with other
family members. Programs may need to be relocated to utilize
on-chip memory and conform to the AD73411’s interrupt
vector and reset vector map.
•Sixteen condition codes are available. For conditional jump,
call, return, or arithmetic instructions, the condition can be
checked and the operation executed in the same instruction
cycle.
•Multifunction instructions allow parallel execution of an
arithmetic instruction with up to two fetches or one write to
processor memory space during a single instruction cycle.
DESIGNING AN EZ-ICE®-COMPATIBLE SYSTEM
The AD73411 has on-chip emulation support and an ICE-Port,
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.
See the ADSP-2100 Family EZ-Tools
™
data sheet for complete
information on ICE products.
Issuing the chip reset command during emulation causes the
DSP to perform a full chip reset, including a reset of its memory
mode. Therefore, it is vital that the mode pins are set correctly
prior to issuing a chip reset command from the emulator user
interface. If you are using a passive method of maintaining
mode information (as discussed in Setting Memory Modes), it
does not matter that the mode information is latched by an
emulator reset. However, if using the RESET pin as a method

of setting the value of the mode pins, the effects of an emulator
reset must be taken into consideration.
One method of ensuring that the values located on the mode
pins are those desired, is to construct a circuit like the one shown
in Figure 20. This circuit forces the value located on the Mode
A pin to logic high; regardless if it is latched via the RESET or
ERESET pin.

The ICE-Port interface consists of the following AD73411 pins:
EBREBGERESET
EMSEINTECLK
ELINELOUTEE
These AD73411 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 AD73411
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
RESETGND
The EZ-ICE uses the EE (emulator enable) signal to take control
of the AD73411 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 your 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 21. 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.
The 14-pin, 2-row pin strip header is keyed at the Pin 7 location—you must remove Pin 7 from the header. The pins must
be 0.025 inch square and at least 0.20 inch in length. Pin spac-
ing should be 0.1 × 0.1 inches. The pin strip header must have
at least 0.15 inch clearance on all sides to accept the EZ-ICE
probe plug.
Pin strip headers are available from vendors such as 3M,
McKenzie, and Samtec.

Target Memory Interface
For your target system to be compatible with the EZ-ICE
emulator, it must comply with the memory interface guidelines
listed below.
PM, DM, BM, IOM and CM
Design your Program Memory (PM), Data Memory (DM),
Byte Memory (BM), I/O Memory (IOM) and Composite
Memory (CM) external interfaces to comply with worst-case
device timing requirements and switching characteristics as specified in the DSP’s data sheet. The performance of the EZ-ICE
may approach published worst case specification for some memory
access timing requirements and switching characteristics.
Note: If your target does not meet the worst-case chip specification for memory access parameters, you may not be able to
emulate your circuitry at the desired CLKIN frequency. Depending on the severity of the specification violation, you may have
trouble manufacturing your system as DSP components statistically vary in switching characteristic and timing requirements
within published limits.
Restriction: All memory strobe signals on the AD73411 (RD,
WR, PMS, DMS, BMS, CMS, and IOMS) used in your target
system must have 10 kΩ pull-up resistors connected when the
EZ-ICE is being used. The pull-up resistors are necessary because
there are no internal pull-ups to guarantee their state during
prolonged three-state conditions resulting from typical EZ-ICE
debugging sessions. These resistors may be removed at your
option when the EZ-ICE is not being used.

Target System Interface Signals
When the EZ-ICE board is installed, the performance on some
system signals changes. Design your system to be compatible
with the following system interface signal changes introduced by
the EZ-ICE board:
•EZ-ICE emulation introduces an 8 ns propagation delay be-
tween your target circuitry and the DSP on the RESET signal.
•EZ-ICE emulation introduces an 8 ns propagation delay
between your target circuitry and the DSP on the BR signal.
•EZ-ICE emulation ignores RESET and BR when single-
stepping.
•EZ-ICE emulation ignores RESET and BR when in Emula-
tor Space (DSP halted).
•EZ-ICE emulation ignores the state of target BR in certain
modes. As a result, the target system may take control of the
DSP’s external memory bus only if bus grant (BG) is asserted
by the EZ-ICE board’s DSP.
ANALOG FRONT END (AFE) INTERFACING
The AFE section of the AD73411 features a voiceband input/
output channel, each with 16-bit linear resolution. Connectivity
to the AFE section from the DSP is uncommitted, thus allowing
the user the flexibility of connecting in the mode or configuration
of their choice. This section will detail several configurations—
with no extra AFE channels configured and with two extra AFE
channels configured (using an external AD73322 dual AFE).
DSP SPORT to AFE Interfacing
The SCLK, SDO, SDOFS, SDI and SDIFS pins of SPORT2
must be connected to the Serial Clock, Receive Data, Receive
Data Frame Sync, Transmit Data, and Transmit Data Frame
Sync pins respectively of either SPORT0 or SPORT1. The SE
pin may be controlled from a parallel output pin or flag pin such
as FL0–2 or, where SPORT2 power-down is not required, it
can be permanently strapped high using a suitable pull-up
resistor. The ARESET pin may be connected to the system
hardware reset structure or it may also be controlled using a
dedicated control line. In the event of tying it to the global system
reset, it is advisable to operate the device in mixed mode, which
allows a software reset, otherwise there is no convenient way of
resetting the AFE section.

Connection of a cascade of devices to a DSP, as shown in Figure

next device in the cascade. The SDO and SDOFS of the final
device in the cascade are connected to the DSP section’s Rx port
to complete the cascade. SE and ARESET on all devices are fed
from the signals that were synchronized with the AMCLK using
the circuit as described above. The SCLK from only one device
need be connected to the DSP section’s SCLK input(s) as all
devices will be running at the same SCLK frequency and phase.

Interfacing to the AFE’s Analog Inputs and Outputs
The AFE section of the AD73411 offers a flexible interface for
microphone pickups, line level signals, or PSTN line interfaces.
This section will detail some of the configurations that can be
used with the input and output sections.
The AD73411 features both differential inputs and outputs to
provide optimal performance and avoid common-mode noise. It is
also possible to interface either inputs or outputs in single-ended
mode. This section details the choice of input and output configurations and also gives some tips toward successful configuration of
the analog interface sections.

Analog Inputs
The analog input (encoder) section of the AD73411 can be interfaced to external circuitry in either ac-coupled or dc-coupled modes.
It is also possible to drive the ADC in either differential or
single-ended modes. If the single-ended mode is chosen it is
possible, using software control, to multiplex between two singleended inputs connected to the positive and negative input pins.
The primary concerns in interfacing to the ADC are to provide
adequate antialias filtering and to ensure that the signal source
will drive the switched-capacitor input of the ADC correctly.
The sigma-delta design of the ADC and its oversampling characteristics simplify the antialias requirements, but it must be
remembered that the single-pole RC filter is primarily intended
to eliminate aliasing of frequencies above the Nyquist frequency of
the sigma-delta modulator’s sampling rate (typically 2.048 MHz).
It may still require a more specific digital filter implementation in the DSP to provide the final signal frequency response
characteristics. It is recommended that for optimum performance
the capacitors used for the antialiasing filter be of high quality
dielectric (NPO). The second issue mentioned above is interfacing
the signal source to the ADC’s switched capacitor input load.
The SC input presents a complex dynamic load to a signal
source, therefore, it is important to understand that the slew
rate characteristic is an important consideration when choosing
external buffers for use with the AD73411.
The AD73411’s on-chip 38 dB preamplifier can be enabled
when there is not enough gain in the input circuit; the preamplifier is configured by bits IGS0–2 of CRD. The total gain must be
configured to ensure that a full-scale input signal produces a signal
level at the input to the sigma-delta modulator of the ADC that
does not exceed the maximum input range.
The dc biasing of the analog input signal is accomplished with
an on-chip voltage reference. If the input signal is not biased at
the internal reference level (via REFOUT), it must be ac-coupled
with external coupling capacitors. C
The dc biasing of the input can then be accomplished using
resistors to REFOUT as in Figures 27 through 29.

The AD73411’s ADC inputs are biased about the internal reference level (REFCAP level), therefore, it may be necessary to bias
external signals to this level using the buffered REFOUT level
as the reference. This is applicable in either dc- or ac-coupled
configurations. In the case of dc coupling, the signal (biased
to REFOUT) may be applied directly to the inputs as shown in
Figure 25, or it may be conditioned in an external op amp where
it can also be biased to the reference level using the buffered
REFOUT signal as shown in Figure 26.
In the case of ac-coupling, a capacitor is used to couple the
signal to the input of the ADC. The ADC input must be biased
to the internal reference (REFCAP) level, which is done by
connecting the input to the REFOUT pin through a 10 kΩ
resistor as shown in Figure 27.

Interfacing to an Electret Microphone
Figure 30 details an interface for an electret microphone which
may be used in some voice applications. Electret microphones
typically feature a FET amplifier whose output is accessed on
the same lead that supplies power to the microphone; therefore,
this output signal must be capacitively coupled to remove the
power supply (dc) component. In this circuit the AD73411
input channel is being used in single-ended mode where the
inverting amplifier provides suitable gain to scale the input
signal relative to the ADC’s full-scale input range. The buffered
internal reference level at REFOUT is used via an external
buffer to provide power to the electret microphone. This provides a quiet, stable supply for the microphone. If this is not a
concern, the microphone can be powered from the system
power supply.

Analog Output
The AD73411’s differential analog output (VOUT) is produced
by an on-chip differential amplifier. The differential output can
be ac-coupled or dc-coupled directly to a load that can be a
headset or the input of an external amplifier. It is possible to
connect the outputs in either a differential or a single-ended
configuration, but please note that the effective maximum output
voltage swing (peak-to-peak) is halved in the case of single-ended
connection. Figure 31 shows a simple circuit providing a differential output with ac coupling. The capacitors in this circuit

Differential-to-Single-Ended Output
In some applications it may be desirable to convert the full
differential output of the decoder channel to a single-ended
signal. The circuit of Figure 33 shows a scheme for doing this.

Grounding and Layout
As the analog inputs to the AD73411’s AFE section are differential, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are commonmode voltages. The excellent common-mode rejection of the
part will remove common-mode noise on these inputs. The
analog and digital supplies of the AD73411 are independent and
separately pinned out to minimize coupling between analog and
digital sections of the device. The digital filters on the encoder
section will provide rejection of broadband noise on the power
supplies, except at integer multiples of the modulator sampling
frequency. The digital filters also remove noise from the analog
inputs provided the noise source does not saturate the analog
modulator. However, because the resolution of the AD73411’s
ADC is high, and the noise levels from the AD73411 are so low,
care must be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD73411 should be
designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and
confined to certain sections of the board. The AD73411 ballout configuration offers a major advantage in that its analog
interfaces are confined to the last three rows of the package.
This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be easily separated, as shown in Figure 34. A minimum etch technique is
generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding.
Digital and analog ground planes should be joined in only one
place. If this connection is close to the device, it is recommended
to use a ferrite bead inductor.

Avoid running digital lines under the AFE section of the device
for they will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane
should be allowed to run under the AD73411’s AFE section to
avoid noise coupling (see Figure 34). The power supply lines to
the AD73411 should use as large a trace as possible to provide
low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the
power supply lines. Fast switching signals such as clocks should
be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other
sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run near
the analog inputs. Traces on opposite sides of the board should
run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the effects of
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far
the best but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In
this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes while signals are placed on the other side.
Good decoupling is important when using high-speed devices.
On the AD73411 both the reference (REFCAP) and supplies
need to be decoupled. It is recommended that the decoupling
capacitors used on both REFCAP and the supplies, be placed as
close as possible to their respective ball connections to ensure
high performance from the device. All analog and digital supplies should be decoupled to AGND and DGND respectively,
with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors in parallel with 10 µF tantalum
capacitors. The AFE’s digital section supply (DVDD) should be
connected to the digital supply that feeds the DSP’s VDD(Ext)
connections while the AFE’s digital ground DGND should be
returned to the digital ground plane.
