The ADSP-2191M DSP is a single-chip microcomputer optimized for digital signal processing (DSP) and other high speed numeric processing applications.
The ADSP-2191M combines the ADSP-219x family base architecture (three computational units, two data address generators,and a program sequencer) with three serial ports, two SPI-compatible ports, one UART port, a DMA controller, three programmable timers, general-purpose Programmable Flag pins, extensive interrupt capabilities, and on-chip program and data memory spaces.
The ADSP-2191M architecture is code-compatible with DSPs of the ADSP-218x family. Although the architectures are compatible, the ADSP-2191M architecture has a number of enhancements over the ADSP-218x architecture. The enhancements to computational units, data address generators, and program sequencer make the ADSP-2191M more flexible and even easier to program.
Indirect addressing options provide addressing flexibility—premodify with no update, pre- and post-modify by an immediate 8-bit, two’s-complement value and base address registers for easier implementation of circular buffering.
The ADSP-2191M integrates 64K words of on-chip memory configured as 32K words (24-bit) of program RAM, and 32K words (16-bit) of data RAM. Power-down circuitry is also provided to reduce power consumption. The ADSP-2191M is available in 144-lead LQFP and 144-ball mini-BGA packages. Fabricated in a high-speed, low-power, CMOS process, the ADSP-2191M operates with a 6.25 ns instruction cycle time (160 MIPS). All instructions, except single-word instructions,execute in one processor.
The ADSP-2191M’s flexible architecture and comprehensive instruction set support multiple operations in parallel. For example, in one processor cycle, the ADSP-2191M can:
• Generate an address for the next instruction fetch
• Fetch the next instruction
• Perform one or two data moves
• Update one or two data address pointers
• Perform a computational operation These operations take place while the processor continues to:
• Receive and transmit data through two serial ports
• Receive and/or transmit data from a Host
• Receive or transmit data through the UART
• Receive or transmit data over two SPI ports
• Access external memory through the external memory interface
• Decrement the timers
The ADSP-2191M 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:
• ADSP-219x assembly language syntax is a superset of and source-code-compatible (except for two data registers and DAG base address registers) with ADSP-218x family syntax. It may be necessary to restructure ADSP-218x programs to accommodate the ADSP-2191M’s unified memory space and to conform to its interrupt vector map.
• 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, but two, assembles into a single, 24-bit word that can execute in a single instruction cycle. The exceptions are two dual word instructions. One writes 16- or 24-bit immediate data to memory, and the other is an absolute jump/call with the 24-bit address specified in the instruction.
• Multifunction instructions allow parallel execution of an arithmetic, MAC, or shift instruction with up to two fetches or one write to processor memory space during a single instruction cycle.
• Program flow instructions support a wider variety of conditional and unconditional jumps/calls and a larger set of conditions on which to base execution of conditional instructions.
