ADSP-BF592
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-BF592 processor is a member of the Blackfin family
of products, incorporating the Analog Devices/Intel Micro
Signal Architecture (MSA). Blackfin processors combine a dualMAC state-of-the-art signal processing engine, the advantages
of a clean, orthogonal RISC-like microprocessor instruction set,
and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture.
The ADSP-BF592 processor is completely code compatible with
other Blackfin processors. The ADSP-BF592 processor offers
performance up to 400 MHz and reduced static power consumption. The processor features are shown in Table 1.

The ADSP-BF592 processor is a highly integrated system-on-achip solution for the next generation of digital communication
and consumer multimedia applications. By combining industry
standard interfaces with a high performance signal processing
core, cost-effective applications can be developed quickly, without the need for costly external components. The system
peripherals include a watchdog timer; three 32-bit timers/counters with PWM support; two dual-channel, full-duplex
synchronous serial ports (SPORTs); two serial peripheral interface (SPI) compatible ports; one UART with IrDA support; a
parallel peripheral interface (PPI); and a 2-wire interface (TWI)
controller.
BLACKFIN PROCESSOR CORE

As shown in Figure 2, the Blackfin processor core contains two
16-bit multipliers, two 40-bit accumulators, two 40-bit ALUs,
four video ALUs, and a 40-bit shifter. The computation units
process 8-, 16-, or 32-bit data from the register file.
The compute register file contains eight 32-bit registers. When
performing compute operations on 16-bit operand data, the
register file operates as 16 independent 16-bit registers. All
operands for compute operations come from the multiported
register file and instruction constant fields.
Each MAC can perform a 16-bit by 16-bit multiply in each
cycle, accumulating the results into the 40-bit accumulators.
Signed and unsigned formats, rounding, and saturation
are supported.
Maximum instruction rate is not available with every possible SCLK selection.
By integrating a rich set of industry-leading system peripherals

and memory, Blackfin processors are the platform of choice for
next-generation applications that require RISC-like programmability, multimedia support, and leading-edge signal
processing in one integrated package.
PORTABLE LOW POWER ARCHITECTURE

Blackfin processors provide world-class power management
and performance. They are produced with a low power and low
voltage design methodology and feature on-chip dynamic
power management, which provides the ability to vary both the
voltage and frequency of operation to significantly lower overall
power consumption. This capability can result in a substantial
reduction in power consumption, compared with just varying
the frequency of operation. This allows longer battery life for
portable appliances.
Rev. B
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The ALUs perform a traditional set of arithmetic and logical

operations on 16-bit or 32-bit data. In addition, many special
instructions are included to accelerate various signal processing
tasks. These include bit operations such as field extract and population count, modulo 232 multiply, divide primitives, saturation
and rounding, and sign/exponent detection. The set of video
instructions includes byte alignment and packing operations,
16-bit and 8-bit adds with clipping, 8-bit average operations,
and 8-bit subtract/absolute value/accumulate (SAA) operations.
The compare/select and vector search instructions are also
provided.
For certain instructions, two 16-bit ALU operations can be performed simultaneously on register pairs (a 16-bit high half and
16-bit low half of a compute register). If the second ALU is used,
quad 16-bit operations are possible.
The 40-bit shifter can perform shifts and rotates and is used to
support normalization, field extract, and field deposit
instructions.
The program sequencer controls the flow of instruction execution, including instruction alignment and decoding. For
program flow control, the sequencer supports PC relative and
indirect conditional jumps (with static branch prediction) and
subroutine calls. Hardware is provided to support zero over

head looping. The architecture is fully interlocked, meaning that
the programmer need not manage the pipeline when executing
instructions with data dependencies.
The architecture provides three modes of operation: user mode,

supervisor mode, and emulation mode. User mode has
restricted access to certain system resources, thus providing a
protected software environment, while supervisor mode has
unrestricted access to the system and core resources.
The address arithmetic unit provides two addresses for simultaneous dual fetches from memory. It contains a multiported
register file consisting of four sets of 32-bit index, modify,
length, and base registers (for circular buffering) and eight
additional 32-bit pointer registers (for C-style indexed stack
manipulation).
The Blackfin processor instruction set has been optimized so

that 16-bit opcodes represent the most frequently used instructions, resulting in excellent compiled code density. Complex
DSP instructions are encoded into 32-bit opcodes, representing
fully featured multifunction instructions. Blackfin processors
support a limited multi-issue capability, where a 32-bit instruction can be issued in parallel with two 16-bit instructions,
allowing the programmer to use many of the core resources in a
single instruction cycle.
Blackfin processors support a modified Harvard architecture in

combination with a hierarchical memory structure. Level 1 (L1)
memories are those that typically operate at the full processor
speed with little or no latency. At the L1 level, the instruction
memory holds instructions only. Data memory holds data, and
a dedicated scratchpad data memory stores stack and local variable information.
The Blackfin processor assembly language uses an algebraic syntax for ease of coding and readability. The architecture has been
optimized for use in conjunction with the C/C++ compiler,
resulting in fast and efficient software implementations.
Multiple L1 memory blocks are provided. The memory

management unit (MMU) provides memory protection for
individual tasks that may be operating on the core and can
protect system registers from unintended access.

MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
Custom ROM (Optional)
The Blackfin processor views memory as a single unified

4G byte address space, using 32-bit addresses. All resources,
including internal memory and I/O control registers, occupy
separate sections of this common address space. See Figure 3.
The on-chip L1 Instruction ROM on the ADSP-BF592 may be

customized to contain user code with the following features:
64K bytes of L1 Instruction ROM available for custom code
The core-accessible L1 memory system is high performance

internal memory that operates at the core clock frequency. The
external bus interface unit (EBIU) provides access to the boot
ROM.
The memory DMA controller provides high bandwidth datamovement capability. It can perform block transfers of code or
data between the L1 Instruction SRAM and L1 Data SRAM
memory spaces.

Customers wishing to customize the on-chip ROM for their
own application needs should contact ADI sales for more information on terms and conditions and details on the technical
implementation.
I/O Memory Space

The processor does not define a separate I/O space. All
resources are mapped through the flat 32-bit address space.
On-chip I/O devices have their control registers mapped into
memory-mapped registers (MMRs) at addresses near the top of
the 4G byte address space. These are separated into two smaller
blocks, one which contains the control MMRs for all core functions, and the other which contains the registers needed for
setup and control of the on-chip peripherals outside of the core.
The MMRs are accessible only in supervisor mode and appear
as reserved space to on-chip peripherals.
Booting from ROM

L1 INSTRUCTION BANK B SRAM (16K BYTES)
The processor contains a small on-chip boot kernel, which configures the appropriate peripheral for booting. If the processor is
configured to boot from boot ROM memory space, the processor starts executing from the on-chip boot ROM. For more

Figure 3. Internal/External Memory Map
Internal (Core-Accessible) Memory

The processor has three blocks of core-accessible memory, providing high bandwidth access to the core.
The first block is the L1 instruction memory, consisting of
32K bytes SRAM. This memory is accessed at full processor
speed.
The second core-accessible memory block is the L1 data memory, consisting of 32K bytes. This memory block is accessed at
full processor speed.
The third memory block is a 4K byte L1 scratchpad SRAM,
which runs at the same speed as the other L1 memories.
L1 Utility ROM
The event controller on the processor handles all asynchronous

and synchronous events to the processor. The processor
provides event handling that supports both nesting and prioritization. Nesting allows multiple event service routines to be
active simultaneously. Prioritization ensures that servicing of a
higher-priority event takes precedence over servicing of a lowerpriority event. The controller provides support for five different
types of events:
Emulation An emulation event causes the processor to
enter emulation mode, allowing command and control of
the processor via the JTAG interface.
RESET This event resets the processor.
Nonmaskable Interrupt (NMI) The NMI event can be
generated by the software watchdog timer or by the NMI
input signal to the processor. The NMI event is frequently
used as a power-down indicator to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system.
The L1 instruction ROM contains utility ROM code. This

includes the TMK (VDK core), C run-time libraries, and DSP
libraries. See the VisualDSP++ documentation for more
information.
Rev. B
ADSP-BF592
Exceptions Events that occur synchronously to program
flow (in other words, the exception is taken before the
instruction is allowed to complete). Conditions such as
data alignment violations and undefined instructions cause
exceptions.
Interrupts Events that occur asynchronously to program
flow. They are caused by input signals, timers, and other
peripherals, as well as by an explicit software instruction.
Each event type has an associated register to hold the return
address and an associated return-from-event instruction. When
an event is triggered, the state of the processor is saved on the
supervisor stack.
The processor event controller consists of two stages: the core
event controller (CEC) and the system interrupt controller
(SIC). The core event controller works with the system interrupt
controller to prioritize and control all system events. Conceptually, interrupts from the peripherals enter into the SIC and are
then routed directly into the general-purpose interrupts of the
CEC.
Core Event Controller (CEC)

The CEC supports nine general-purpose interrupts (IVG157),
in addition to the dedicated interrupt and exception events. Of
these general-purpose interrupts, the two lowest priority
interrupts (IVG1514) are recommended to be reserved for
software interrupt handlers, leaving seven prioritized interrupt
inputs to support the peripherals of the processor. The inputs to
the CEC, their names in the event vector table (EVT), and their
priorities are described in the ADSP-BF59x Blackfin Processor
Hardware Reference, System Interrupts chapter.
System Interrupt Controller (SIC)

The system interrupt controller provides the mapping and routing of events from the many peripheral interrupt sources to the
prioritized general-purpose interrupt inputs of the CEC.
Although the processor provides a default mapping, the user
can alter the mappings and priorities of interrupt events by writing the appropriate values into the interrupt assignment
registers (SIC_IARx). The inputs into the SIC and the default
mappings into the CEC are described in the ADSP-BF59x Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference, System Interrupts chapter.
The SIC allows further control of event processing by providing
three pairs of 32-bit interrupt control and status registers. Each
register contains a bit, corresponding to each peripheral interrupt event. For more information, see the ADSP-BF59x Blackfin
Processor Hardware Reference, System Interrupts chapter.
DMA CONTROLLERS
The processor has multiple, independent DMA channels that
support automated data transfers with minimal overhead for
the processor core. DMA transfers can occur between the processors internal memories and any of its DMA-capable
peripherals. DMA-capable peripherals include the SPORTs, SPI
ports, UART, and PPI. Each individual DMA-capable peripheral has at least one dedicated DMA channel.
Rev. B
The processor DMA controller supports both one-dimensional

(1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) DMA transfers. DMA transfer initialization can be implemented from registers or from sets
of parameters called descriptor blocks.
The 2-D DMA capability supports arbitrary row and column
sizes up to 64K elements by 64K elements, and arbitrary row
and column step sizes up to 32K elements. Furthermore, the
column step size can be less than the row step size, allowing
implementation of interleaved data streams. This feature is
especially useful in video applications where data can be deinterleaved on the fly.
Examples of DMA types supported by the processor DMA controller include:
A single, linear buffer that stops upon completion
A circular, auto-refreshing buffer that interrupts on each
full or fractionally full buffer
1-D or 2-D DMA using a linked list of descriptors
2-D DMA using an array of descriptors, specifying only the
base DMA address within a common page
In addition to the dedicated peripheral DMA channels, there are
two memory DMA channels, which are provided for transfers
between the various memories of the processor system with
minimal processor intervention. Memory DMA transfers can be
controlled by a very flexible descriptor-based methodology or
by a standard register-based autobuffer mechanism.
PROCESSOR PERIPHERALS
The ADSP-BF592 processor contains a rich set of peripherals
connected to the core via several high bandwidth buses, providing flexibility in system configuration, as well as excellent
overall system performance (see Figure 1). The processor also
contains dedicated communication modules and high speed
serial and parallel ports, an interrupt controller for flexible management of interrupts from the on-chip peripherals or external
sources, and power management control functions to tailor the
performance and power characteristics of the processor and system to many application scenarios.
The SPORTs, SPIs, UART, and PPI peripherals are supported
by a flexible DMA structure. There are also separate memory
DMA channels dedicated to data transfers between the processors various memory spaces, including boot ROM. Multiple
on-chip buses running at up to 100 MHz provide enough bandwidth to keep the processor core running along with activity on
all of the on-chip and external peripherals.
The ADSP-BF592 processor includes an interface to an off-chip
voltage regulator in support of the processors dynamic power
management capability.
Watchdog Timer
The processor includes a 32-bit timer that can be used to implement a software watchdog function. A software watchdog can
improve system availability by forcing the processor to a known
state through generation of a hardware reset, nonmaskable
interrupt (NMI), or general-purpose interrupt, if the timer
expires before being reset by software. The programmer
| Page 6 of 44 | July 2013
ADSP-BF592
initializes the count value of the timer, enables the appropriate
interrupt, then enables the timer. Thereafter, the software must
reload the counter before it counts to zero from the programmed value. This protects the system from remaining in an
unknown state where software, which would normally reset the
timer, has stopped running due to an external noise condition
or software error.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Ports

The processor has two SPI-compatible ports that enable the
processor to communicate with multiple SPI-compatible
devices.
The timer is clocked by the system clock (SCLK) at a maximum

frequency of fSCLK.
The SPI interface uses three pins for transferring data: two data
pins (Master Output-Slave Input, MOSI, and Master InputSlave Output, MISO) and a clock pin (serial clock, SCK). An SPI
chip select input pin (SPIx_SS) lets other SPI devices select the
processor, and many SPI chip select output pins (SPIx_SEL71)
let the processor select other SPI devices. The SPI select pins are
reconfigured general-purpose I/O pins. Using these pins, the
SPI port provides a full-duplex, synchronous serial interface,
which supports both master/slave modes and multimaster
environments.
Timers
UART Port
There are four general-purpose programmable timer units in

the processor. Three timers have an external pin that can be
configured either as a pulse width modulator (PWM) or timer
output, as an input to clock the timer, or as a mechanism for
measuring pulse widths and periods of external events. These
timers can be synchronized to an external clock input to the several other associated PF pins, to an external clock input to the
PPI_CLK input pin, or to the internal SCLK.
The ADSP-BF592 processor provides a full-duplex universal

asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) port, which is fully
compatible with PC-standard UARTs. The UART port provides
a simplified UART interface to other peripherals or hosts,
supporting full-duplex, DMA-supported, asynchronous transfers of serial data. The UART port includes support for five to
eight data bits, one or two stop bits, and none, even, or odd parity. The UART port supports two modes of operation:
The timer units can be used in conjunction with the UART to

measure the width of the pulses in the data stream to provide a
software auto-baud detect function for the respective serial
channels.
PIO (programmed I/O) The processor sends or receives

data by writing or reading I/O mapped UART registers.
The data is double-buffered on both transmit and receive.
If configured to generate a hardware reset, the watchdog timer

resets both the core and the processor peripherals. After a reset,
software can determine whether the watchdog was the source of
the hardware reset by interrogating a status bit in the watchdog
timer control register.
The timers can generate interrupts to the processor core providing periodic events for synchronization, either to the system
clock or to a count of external signals.
In addition to the three general-purpose programmable timers,
a fourth timer is also provided. This extra timer is clocked by the
internal processor clock and is typically used as a system tick
clock for generation of operating system periodic interrupts.
Serial Ports
The ADSP-BF592 processor incorporates two dual-channel
synchronous serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) for serial and
multiprocessor communications. The SPORTs support the following features:
Serial port data can be automatically transferred to and from
on-chip memory/external memory via dedicated DMA channels. Each of the serial ports can work in conjunction with
another serial port to provide TDM support. In this configuration, one SPORT provides two transmit signals 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
DMA (direct memory access) The DMA controller transfers both transmit and receive data. This reduces the
number and frequency of interrupts required to transfer
data to and from memory. The UART has two dedicated
DMA channels, one for transmit and one for receive. These
DMA channels have lower default priority than most DMA
channels because of their relatively low service rates.
Parallel Peripheral Interface (PPI)

The processor provides a parallel peripheral interface (PPI) that
can connect directly to parallel analog-to-digital and digital-toanalog converters, video encoders and decoders, and other general-purpose peripherals. The PPI consists of a dedicated input
clock pin, up to three frame synchronization pins, and up to 16
data pins. The input clock supports parallel data rates up to half
the system clock rate, and the synchronization signals can be
configured as either inputs or outputs.
The PPI supports a variety of general-purpose and ITU-R 656
modes of operation. In general-purpose mode, the PPI provides
half-duplex, bidirectional data transfer with up to 16 bits of
data. Up to three frame synchronization signals are also provided. In ITU-R 656 mode, the PPI provides half-duplex
bidirectional transfer of 8- or 10-bit video data. Additionally,
on-chip decode of embedded start-of-line (SOL) and start-offield (SOF) preamble packets is supported.

General-Purpose Mode Descriptions
DYNAMIC POWER MANAGEMENT
The general-purpose modes of the PPI are intended to suit a

wide variety of data capture and transmission applications.
Three distinct submodes are supported:
The processor provides five operating modes, each with a different performance/power profile. In addition, dynamic power
management provides the control functions to dynamically alter
the processor core supply voltage, further reducing power dissipation. When configured for a 0 V core supply voltage, the
processor enters the hibernate state. Control of clocking to each
of the processor peripherals also reduces power consumption.
See Table 2 for a summary of the power settings for each mode.
Input mode Frame syncs and data are inputs into the PPI.
Input mode is intended for ADC applications, as well as
video communication with hardware signaling.
Frame capture mode Frame syncs are outputs from the
PPI, but data are inputs. This mode allows the video
source(s) to act as a slave (for frame capture for example).
Output mode Frame syncs and data are outputs from the
PPI. Output mode is used for transmitting video or other
data with up to three output frame syncs.
ITU-R 656 Mode Descriptions
The ITU-R 656 modes of the PPI are intended to suit a wide
variety of video capture, processing, and transmission applications. Three distinct submodes are supported:
Active video only mode Active video only mode is used
when only the active video portion of a field is of interest
and not any of the blanking intervals.
Vertical blanking only mode In this mode, the PPI only
transfers vertical blanking interval (VBI) data.
Entire field mode In this mode, the entire incoming bit
stream is read in through the PPI.
TWI Controller Interface

The processor includes a 2-wire interface (TWI) module for
providing a simple exchange method of control data between
multiple devices. The TWI is functionally compatible with the
widely used I2C bus standard. The TWI module offers the
capabilities of simultaneous master and slave operation and
support for both 7-bit addressing and multimedia data arbitration. The TWI interface utilizes two pins for transferring clock
(SCL) and data (SDA) and supports the protocol at speeds up to
400K bits/sec.
The TWI module is compatible with serial camera control bus
(SCCB) functionality for easier control of various CMOS camera sensor devices.
Ports
The processor groups the many peripheral signals to two
portsPort F and Port G. Most of the associated pins are shared
by multiple signals. The ports function as multiplexer controls.
General-Purpose I/O (GPIO)
The processor has 32 bidirectional, general-purpose I/O (GPIO)
pins allocated across two separate GPIO modulesPORTFIO
and PORTGIO, associated with Port F and Port G respectively.
Each GPIO-capable pin shares functionality with other processor peripherals via a multiplexing scheme; however, the GPIO
functionality is the default state of the device upon power-up.
Neither GPIO output nor input drivers are active by default.
Each general-purpose port pin can be individually controlled by
manipulation of the port control, status, and interrupt registers.

Full-On Operating ModeMaximum Performance

In the full-on mode, the PLL is enabled and is not bypassed,
providing capability for maximum operational frequency. This
is the power-up default execution state in which maximum performance can be achieved. The processor core and all enabled
peripherals run at full speed.
Active Operating ModeModerate Dynamic Power

Savings
In the active mode, the PLL is enabled but bypassed. Because the
PLL is bypassed, the processors core clock (CCLK) and system
clock (SCLK) run at the input clock (CLKIN) frequency. DMA
access is available to appropriately configured L1 memories.
For more information about PLL controls, see the Dynamic
Power Management chapter in the ADSP-BF59x Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference.
Sleep Operating ModeHigh Dynamic Power Savings

The sleep mode reduces dynamic power dissipation by disabling
the clock to the processor core (CCLK). The PLL and system
clock (SCLK), however, continue to operate in this mode. Typically, an external event wakes up the processor.
System DMA access to L1 memory is not supported in
sleep mode.
Deep Sleep Operating ModeMaximum Dynamic Power

Savings
The deep sleep mode maximizes dynamic power savings by disabling the clocks to the processor core (CCLK) and to all
synchronous peripherals (SCLK). Asynchronous peripherals
may still be running but cannot access internal resources or
external memory. This powered-down mode can only be exited
by assertion of the reset interrupt (RESET) or by an asynchronous interrupt generated by a GPIO pin.
| Page 8 of 44 | July 2013
ADSP-BF592
Note that when a GPIO pin is used to trigger wake from deep
sleep, the programmed wake level must linger for at least 10ns
to guarantee detection.

Hibernate StateMaximum Static Power Savings

The hibernate state maximizes static power savings by disabling
clocks to the processor core (CCLK) and to all of the peripherals
(SCLK), as well as signaling an external voltage regulator that
VDDINT can be shut off. Any critical information stored internally (for example, memory contents, register contents, and
other information) must be written to a nonvolatile storage
device prior to removing power if the processor state is to be
preserved. Writing b#0 to the HIBERNATE bit causes
EXT_WAKE to transition low, which can be used to signal an
external voltage regulator to shut down.
Since VDDEXT can still be supplied in this mode, all of the external pins three-state, unless otherwise specified. This allows
other devices that may be connected to the processor to still
have power applied without drawing unwanted current.
As long as VDDEXT is applied, the VR_CTL register maintains its
state during hibernation. All other internal registers and memories, however, lose their content in the hibernate state.
Power Savings
As shown in Table 3, the processor supports two different
power domains, which maximizes flexibility while maintaining
compliance with industry standards and conventions. By isolating the internal logic of the processor into its own power
domain, separate from other I/O, the processor can take advantage of dynamic power management without affecting the other
I/O devices. There are no sequencing requirements for the
various power domains, but all domains must be powered
according to the appropriate Specifications table for processor
operating conditions, even if the feature/peripheral is not used.

VOLTAGE REGULATION
The ADSP-BF592 processor requires an external voltage regulator to power the VDDINT domain. To reduce standby power
consumption, the external voltage regulator can be signaled
through EXT_WAKE to remove power from the processor core.
This signal is high-true for power-up and may be connected
directly to the low-true shut-down input of many common
regulators.
While in the hibernate state, the external supply, VDDEXT, can
still be applied, eliminating the need for external buffers. The
external voltage regulator can be activated from this powerdown state by asserting the RESET pin, which then initiates a
boot sequence. EXT_WAKE indicates a wakeup to the external
voltage regulator.
The power good (PG) input signal allows the processor to start
only after the internal voltage has reached a chosen level. In this
way, the startup time of the external regulator is detected after
hibernation. For a complete description of the power-good
functionality, refer to the ADSP-BF59x Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference.
CLOCK SIGNALS
The dynamic power management feature of the processor
allows both the processors input voltage (VDDINT) and clock frequency (fCCLK) to be dynamically controlled.
The processor can be clocked by an external crystal, a sine wave

input, or a buffered, shaped clock derived from an external
clock oscillator.
The power dissipated by a processor is largely a function of its

clock frequency and the square of the operating voltage. For
example, reducing the clock frequency by 25% results in a 25%
reduction in dynamic power dissipation, while reducing the
voltage by 25% reduces dynamic power dissipation by more
than 40%. Further, these power savings are additive, in that if
the clock frequency and supply voltage are both reduced, the
power savings can be dramatic, as shown in the following
equations.
If an external clock is used, it should be a TTL-compatible signal

and must not be halted, changed, or operated below the specified frequency during normal operation. This signal is
connected to the processors CLKIN pin. When an external
clock is used, the XTAL pin must be left unconnected.
Rev. B
Alternatively, because the processor includes an on-chip oscillator circuit, an external crystal may be used. For fundamental
frequency operation, use the circuit shown in Figure 4. A
parallel-resonant, fundamental frequency, microprocessorgrade crystal is connected across the CLKIN and XTAL pins.
The on-chip resistance between CLKIN and the XTAL pin is in
the 500 k range. Further parallel resistors are typically not
ADSP-BF592
recommended. The two capacitors and the series resistor shown
in Figure 4 fine tune phase and amplitude of the sine frequency.
The capacitor and resistor values shown in Figure 4 are typical
values only. The capacitor values are dependent upon the crystal
manufacturers load capacitance recommendations and the PCB
physical layout. The resistor value depends on the drive level
specified by the crystal manufacturer. The user should verify the
customized values based on careful investigations on multiple
devices over temperature range.

A third-overtone crystal can be used for frequencies above

only at the third overtone, by adding a tuned inductor circuit as
shown in Figure 4. A design procedure for third-overtone operation is discussed in detail in (EE-168) Using Third Overtone
Crystals with the ADSP-218x DSP on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)use site search on EE-168.
The Blackfin core runs at a different clock rate than the on-chip
peripherals. As shown in Figure 5, the core clock (CCLK) and
system peripheral clock (SCLK) are derived from the input
clock (CLKIN) signal. An on-chip PLL is capable of multiplying
the CLKIN signal by a programmable 5 to 64 multiplication
factor (bounded by specified minimum and maximum VCO
frequencies). The default multiplier is 6, but it can be modified
by a software instruction sequence.
On-the-fly frequency changes can be effected by simply writing
to the PLL_DIV register. The maximum allowed CCLK and
SCLK rates depend on the applied voltages VDDINT and VDDEXT;
the VCO is always permitted to run up to the frequency specified by the parts instruction rate. The EXTCLK pin can be
configured to output either the SCLK frequency or the input
buffered CLKIN frequency, called CLKBUF. When configured
to output SCLK (CLKOUT), the EXTCLK pin acts as a reference signal in many timing specifications. While three-stated by
default, it can be enabled using the VRCTL register.

Note that the divisor ratio must be chosen to limit the system
clock frequency to its maximum of fSCLK. The SSEL value can be
changed dynamically without any PLL lock latencies by writing
the appropriate values to the PLL divisor register (PLL_DIV).
The core clock (CCLK) frequency can also be dynamically
changed by means of the CSEL10 bits of the PLL_DIV register.
Supported CCLK divider ratios are 1, 2, 4, and 8, as shown in
Table 5. This programmable core clock capability is useful for
fast core frequency modifications.

The maximum CCLK frequency both depends on the parts

BOOTING MODES
SPI0 master boot from flash (BMODE = 0x4) In this

mode SPI0 is configured to operate in master mode and to
connect to 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit addressable devices. The
processor uses the PF8/SPI0_SSEL2 to select a single SPI
EEPROM/flash device, submits a read command and successive address bytes (000) until a valid 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32bit addressable device is detected, and begins clocking data
into the processor. Pull-up resistors are required on the
SSEL and MISO pins. By default, a value of 085 is written
to the SPI_BAUD register.
The processor has several mechanisms (listed in Table 6) for

automatically loading internal and external memory after a
reset. The boot mode is defined by the BMODE input pins dedicated to this purpose. There are two categories of boot modes.
In master boot modes, the processor actively loads data from
parallel or serial memories. In slave boot modes, the processor
receives data from external host devices.

Boot from PPI host device (BMODE = 0x5) The processor operates in PPI slave mode and is configured to receive
the bytes of the LDR file from a PPI host (master) agent.
Description

SPI1 master boot from Flash, using SPI1_SSEL5 on PG11
SPI1 slave boot from external master
SPI0 master boot from Flash, using SPI0_SSEL2 on PF8
Boot from PPI port
Boot from UART host device
Execute from Internal L1 ROM
Boot from UART host device (BMODE = 0x6) In this

mode UART0 is used as the booting source. Using an autobaud handshake sequence, a boot-stream formatted
program is downloaded by the host. The host selects a bit
rate within the UART clocking capabilities. When performing the autobaud, the UART expects a @ (040)
character (eight bits data, one start bit, one stop bit, no parity bit) on the RXD pin to determine the bit rate. The
UART then replies with an acknowledgment which is composed of 4 bytes (0xBFthe value of UART_DLL) and
(000the value of UART_DLH). The host can then
download the boot stream. To hold off the host the processor signals the host with the boot host wait (HWAIT)
signal. Therefore, the host must monitor the HWAIT, (on
PG4), before every transmitted byte.
The boot modes listed in Table 6 provide a number of mechanisms for automatically loading the processors internal and
external memories after a reset. By default, all boot modes use
the slowest meaningful configuration settings. Default settings
can be altered via the initialization code feature at boot time.
The BMODE pins of the reset configuration register, sampled
during power-on resets and software-initiated resets, implement the modes shown in Table 6.
IDLE State/No Boot (BMODE - 0x0) In this mode, the
boot kernel transitions the processor into Idle state. The
processor can then be controlled through JTAG for recovery, debug, or other functions.
SPI1 master boot from flash (BMODE = 0x2) In this
mode, SPI1 is configured to operate in master mode and to
connect to 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit addressable devices. The
processor uses the PG11/SPI1_SSEL5 to select a single SPI
EEPROM/flash device, submits a read command and successive address bytes (000) until a valid 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32bit addressable device is detected, and begins clocking data
into the processor. Pull-up resistors are required on the
SSEL and MISO pins. By default, a value of 085 is written
to the SPI_BAUD register.
SPI1 slave boot from external master (BMODE = 0x3) In
this mode, SPI1 is configured to operate in slave mode and
to receive the bytes of the .LDR file from a SPI host (master) agent. To hold off the host device from transmitting
while the boot ROM is busy, the Blackfin processor asserts
a GPIO pin, called host wait (HWAIT), to signal to the host
device not to send any more bytes until the pin is deasserted. The host must interrogate the HWAIT signal,
available on PG4, before transmitting every data unit to the
processor. A pull-up resistor is required on the SPI1_SS
input. A pull-down on the serial clock may improve signal
quality and booting robustness.
Rev. B
Execute from internal L1 ROM (BMODE = 0x7) In this

mode the processor begins execution from the on-chip 64k
byte L1 instruction ROM starting at address 0xFFA1 0000.
For each of the boot modes (except Execute from internal L1
ROM), a 16 byte header is first brought in from an external
device. The header specifies the number of bytes to be transferred and the memory destination address. Multiple memory
blocks may be loaded by any boot sequence. Once all blocks are
loaded, program execution commences from the start of L1
instruction SRAM.
The boot kernel differentiates between a regular hardware reset
and a wakeup-from-hibernate event to speed up booting in the
latter case. Bits 74 in the system reset configuration (SYSCR)
register can be used to bypass the boot kernel or simulate a
wakeup-from-hibernate boot in case of a software reset.
The boot process can be further customized by initialization
code. This is a piece of code that is loaded and executed prior to
the regular application boot. Typically, this is used to speed up
booting by managing the PLL, clock frequencies, or serial bit
rates.
The boot ROM also features C-callable functions that can be
called by the user application at run time. This enables second
stage boot or boot management schemes to be implemented
with ease.

INSTRUCTION SET DESCRIPTION
The Blackfin processor family assembly language instruction set
employs an algebraic syntax designed for ease of coding and
readability. The instructions have been specifically tuned to provide a flexible, densely encoded instruction set that compiles to
a very small final memory size. The instruction set also provides
fully featured multifunction instructions that allow the programmer to use many of the processor core resources in a single
instruction. Coupled with many features more often seen on
microcontrollers, this instruction set is very efficient when compiling C and C++ source code. In addition, the architecture
supports both user (algorithm/application code) and supervisor
(O/S kernel, device drivers, debuggers, ISRs) modes of operation, allowing multiple levels of access to core
processor resources.
The assembly language, which takes advantage of the processors unique architecture, offers the following advantages:
Seamlessly integrated DSP/MCU features are optimized for
both 8-bit and 16-bit operations.
A multi-issue load/store modified-Harvard architecture,
which supports two 16-bit MAC or four 8-bit ALU + two
load/store + two pointer updates per cycle.
All registers, I/O, and memory are mapped into a unified
4G byte memory space, providing a simplified programming model.
Microcontroller features, such as arbitrary bit and bit-field
manipulation, insertion, and extraction; integer operations
on 8-, 16-, and 32-bit data-types; and separate user and
supervisor stack pointers.
Code density enhancements, which include intermixing of
16-bit and 32-bit instructions (no mode switching, no code
segregation). Frequently used instructions are encoded
in 16 bits.
The other Analog Devices IDE, VisualDSP++, supports processor families introduced prior to the release of CrossCore
Embedded Studio. This IDE includes the Analog Devices VDK
real time operating system and an open source TCP/IP stack.

Designing an Emulator-Compatible DSP Board (Target)

For embedded system test and debug, Analog Devices provides
a family of emulators. On each JTAG DSP, Analog Devices supplies an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Test Access Port (TAP). In-circuit
emulation is facilitated by use of this JTAG interface. The emulator accesses the processors internal features via the
processors TAP, allowing the developer to load code, set breakpoints, and view variables, memory, and registers. The
processor must be halted to send data and commands, but once
an operation is completed by the emulator, the DSP system is set
to run at full speed with no impact on system timing. The emulators require the target board to include a header that supports
connection of the DSPs JTAG port to the emulator.
For details on target board design issues including mechanical
layout, single processor connections, signal buffering, signal termination, and emulator pod logic, see the Engineer-to-Engineer
Note Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical Reference
(EE-68) on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)use
site search on EE-68. This document is updated regularly to
keep pace with improvements to emulator support.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
Signal definitions for the ADSP-BF592 processor are listed in
Table 7. In order to maintain maximum function and reduce
package size and pin count, some pins have dual, multiplexed
functions. In cases where pin function is reconfigurable, the
default state is shown in plain text, while the alternate function
is shown in italics.

driven low and XTAL is driven to a solid logic level.
During and immediately after reset, all processor signals are

three-stated with the following exceptions: EXT_WAKE is
driven high and XTAL is driven in conjunction with CLKIN to
Adding a parallel termination to EXTCLK may prove useful in

further enhancing signal integrity. Be sure to verify overshoot/undershoot and signal integrity specifications on actual
hardware.
During and immediately after reset, all I/O pins have their input
buffers disabled with the exception of the pins that need pullups or pull-downs, as noted in Table 7.

Total Power Dissipation
The ASF is combined with the CCLK frequency and VDDINT
dependent data in Table 13 to calculate this part. The second
part is due to transistor switching in the system clock (SCLK)
domain, which is included in the IDDINT specification equation.
Total power dissipation has two components:

1. Static, including leakage current
2. Dynamic, due to transistor switching characteristics
Many operating conditions can also affect power dissipation,
including temperature, voltage, operating frequency, and processor activity. Electrical Characteristics on Page 18 shows the
current dissipation for internal circuitry (VDDINT). IDDDEEPSLEEP
specifies static power dissipation as a function of voltage
(VDDINT) and temperature (see Table 12), and IDDINT specifies the
total power specification for the listed test conditions, including
the dynamic component as a function of voltage (VDDINT) and
frequency (Table 13).

The individual values cannot be combined for analysis of a single instance of

the voltages specified, and the total duration of the overshoot or undershoot
(exceeding the 100% case) must be less than or equal to the corresponding duty
cycle.

Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time the signal exceeds the value for the
100% case. The is equivalent to the measured duration of a single instance of
overshoot or undershoot as a percentage of the period of occurrence.

Table 14 specifies the maximum total source/sink (IOH/IOL) current for a group of pins and for individual pins. Permanent
damage can occur if this value is exceeded. To understand this
specification, if pins PF0 and PF1 from Group 1 in Table 16
were sourcing or sinking 10 mA each, the total current for those
pins would be 20 mA. This would allow up to 35 mA total that
could be sourced or sunk by the remaining pins in the group
without damaging the device. It should also be noted that the
maximum source or sink current for an individual pin cannot
exceed 25 mA. The list of all groups and their pins are shown in
Table 16. Note that the VOH and VOL specifications have separate
per-pin maximum current requirements, see the Electrical

TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Clock and Reset Timing

Table 18 and Figure 7 describe clock and reset operations. Per
the CCLK and SCLK timing specifications in Table 8 to
Table 10, combinations of CLKIN and clock multipliers must
not select core/peripheral clocks in excess of the processors
instruction rate.

Combinations of the CLKIN frequency and the PLL clock multiplier must not exceed the allowed fVCO, fCCLK, and fSCLK settings discussed in Table 8 on Page 17 through Table 10
on Page 17.
3
The tCKIN period (see Figure 7) equals 1/fCKIN.
4
If the DF bit in the PLL_CTL register is set, the minimum fCKIN specification is 24 MHz.
5
Applies after power-up sequence is complete. See Table 19 and Figure 8 for power-up reset timing.
6
The ADSP-BF592 processor does not have a dedicated CLKBUF pin. Rather, the EXTCLK pin may be programmed to serve as CLKBUF or CLKOUT. This parameter applies
when EXTCLK is programmed to output CLKBUF.

The time tENA_MEASURED is the interval from when the reference
signal switches to when the output voltage reaches VTRIP(high)
or VTRIP(low) and is shown below.
VDDEXT (nominal) = 1.8 V, VTRIP (high) is 1.05 V, VTRIP

Capacitive Loading
Output delays and holds are based on standard capacitive loads
of an average of 6 pF on all pins (see Figure 36). VLOAD is equal
to (VDDEXT)/2.

NOTES:
THE WORST CASE TRANSMISSION LINE DELAY IS SHOWN AND CAN BE USED
FOR THE OUTPUT TIMING ANALYSIS TO REFELECT THE TRANSMISSION LINE
EFFECT AND MUST BE CONSIDERED. THE TRANSMISSION LINE (TD) IS FOR
LOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE DATA SHEET TIMING SPECIFICATIONS.
Output Disable Time Measurement

Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driving, go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from their
output high or low voltage. The output disable time tDIS is the
difference between tDIS_MEASURED and tDECAY as shown on the left
side of Figure 35.
t DIS = t DIS_MEASURED t DECAY
The time for the voltage on the bus to decay by V is dependent
on the capacitive load CL and the load current IL. This decay
time can be approximated by the equation:
t DECAY = C L V I L
ANALOG DEVICES RECOMMENDS USING THE IBIS MODEL TIMING FOR A GIVEN
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT. IF NECESSARY, A SYSTEM MAY INCORPORATE
EXTERNAL DRIVERS TO COMPENSATE FOR ANY TIMING DIFFERENCES.
Figure 36. Equivalent Device Loading for AC Measurements

(Includes All Fixtures)
The graphs of Figure 37 through Figure 42 show how output

rise time varies with capacitance. The delay and hold specifications given should be derated by a factor derived from these
figures. The graphs in these figures may not be linear outside the
ranges shown.
The time tDECAY is calculated with test loads CL and IL, and with
V equal to 0.25 V for VDDEXT (nominal) = 2.5 V/3.3 V and
0.15 V for VDDEXT (nominal) = 1.8V.
Example System Hold Time Calculation

To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,
first calculate tDECAY using the equation given above. Choose V
to be the difference between the processors output voltage and
the input threshold for the device requiring the hold time. CL is
the total bus capacitance (per data line), and IL is the total leakage or three-state current (per data line). The hold time will be
tDECAY plus the various output disable times as specified in the
Timing Specifications on Page 22.
