Preliminary Technical Data
ADSP-21369
The asynchronous memory controller is capable of a maximum
throughput of 267M bytes/sec using a 66MHz external bus
speed. Other features include 8 to 32-bit and 16 to 32-bit pack-
ing and unpacking, booting from Bank Select 1, and support for
delay line DMA.
The SRU is a matrix routing unit (or group of multiplexers) that
enables the peripherals provided by the DAI to be intercon-
nected under software control. This allows easy use of the DAI
associated peripherals for a much wider variety of applications
by using a larger set of algorithms than is possible with non con-
figurable signal paths.
ADSP-21369 INPUT/OUTPUT FEATURES
The DAI also includes eight serial ports, an S/PDIF
The ADSP-21369 I/O processor provides 34 channels of DMA,
as well as an extensive set of peripherals. These include a 20 pin
Digital Audio Interface which controls:
receiver/transmitter, four precision clock generators (PCG),
eight channels of synchronous sample rate converters, and an
input data port (IDP). The IDP provides an additional input
path to the ADSP-21369 core, configurable as either eight chan-
nels of I2S serial data or as seven channels plus a single 20-bit
wide synchronous parallel data acquisition port. Each data
channel has its own DMA channel that is independent from the
ADSP-21369's serial ports.
• Eight serial ports
• S/PDIF Receiver/Transmitter
• Four precision clock generators
• Four stereo sample rate converters
• Internal data port/parallel data acquisition port
For complete information on using the DAI, see the ADSP-
2136x SHARC Processor Hardware Reference for the ADSP-
21367/8/9 Processors.
The ADSP-21369 processor also contains a 14 pin Digital
Peripheral Interface which controls:
Serial Ports
• Three general-purpose timers
• Two Serial Peripheral Interfaces
The ADSP-21369 features eight synchronous serial ports that
provide an inexpensive interface to a wide variety of digital and
mixed-signal peripheral devices such as Analog devices AD183x
family of audio codecs, ADCs, and DACs. The serial ports are
made up of two data lines, a clock and frame sync. The data
lines can be programmed to either transmit or receive and each
data line has a dedicated DMA channel.
• Two universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters
(UARTs)
• A two wire interface/I2C
DMA Controller
The ADSP-21369’s on-chip DMA controller allows data trans-
fers without processor intervention. The DMA controller
operates independently and invisibly to the processor core,
allowing DMA operations to occur while the core is simulta-
neously executing its program instructions. DMA transfers can
occur between the ADSP-21369’s internal memory and its serial
ports, the SPI-compatible (Serial Peripheral Interface) ports, the
IDP (Input Data Port), the Parallel Data Acquisition Port
(PDAP) or the UART. Thirty-four channels of DMA are avail-
able on the ADSP-21369—sixteen via the serial ports, eight via
the Input Data Port, four for the UARTs, two for the SPI inter-
face, two for the external port, and two for memory-to-memory
transfers. Programs can be downloaded to the ADSP-21369
using DMA transfers. Other DMA features include interrupt
generation upon completion of DMA transfers, and DMA
chaining for automatic linked DMA transfers.
Serial ports are enabled via 16 programmable and simultaneous
receive or transmit pins that support up to 32 transmit or 32
receive channels of audio data when all eight SPORTS are
enabled, or eight full duplex TDM streams of 128 channels per
frame.
The serial ports operate at a maximum data rate of 50M bits/s.
Serial port data can be automatically transferred to and from
on-chip memory via dedicated DMA channels. Each of the
serial ports can work in conjunction with another serial port to
provide TDM support. One SPORT provides two transmit sig-
nals while the other SPORT provides the two receive signals.
The frame sync and clock are shared.
Serial ports operate in five modes:
• Standard DSP serial mode
• Multichannel (TDM) mode with support for Packed I2S
mode
• I2S mode
• Packed I2S mode
Delay Line DMA
The ADSP-21369 processor provides Delay Line DMA func-
tionality. This allows processor reads and writes to external
Delay Line Buffers (and hence to external memory) with limited
core interaction.
• Left-justified sample pair mode
Left-justified sample pair mode is a mode where in each frame
sync cycle two samples of data are transmitted/received—one
sample on the high segment of the frame sync, the other on the
low segment of the frame sync. Programs have control over var-
ious attributes of this mode.
Digital Audio Interface (DAI)
The Digital Audio Interface (DAI) provides the ability to con-
nect various peripherals to any of the DSPs DAI pins
(DAI_P20–1).
Programs make these connections using the Signal Routing
Unit (SRU, shown in Figure 1.
Each of the serial ports supports the left-justified sample pair
and I2S protocols (I2S is an industry standard interface com-
monly used by audio codecs, ADCs and DACs such as the
