The ADSP-BF54x Blackfin® processors are members of the Blackfin family of products, incorporaTIng the Analog Devices/ Intel Micro Signal Architecture (MSA). Blackfin processors combine a dual-MAC 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.

LOW POWER ARCHITECTURE

Blackfin processors provide world-class power management and performance. Blackfin processors are designed in a low power and low voltage design methodology and feature on-chip dynamic power management, the ability to vary both the voltage and frequency of operation to significantly lower overall power consumption. Reducing both voltage and frequency can result in a substantial reduction in power consumption as compared to reducing only the frequency of operation. This translates into longer battery life for portable appliances.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

The ADSP-BF54x Blackfin processors are highly integrated system-on-a-chip solutions for the next generation of embedded network connected applications. By combining industrystandard interfaces with a high performance signal processing core, users can develop cost-effective solutions quickly without the need for costly external components. The system peripherals include a high speed USB OTG (On-the-Go) controller with integrated PHY, CAN 2.0B controllers, TWI controllers, UART ports, SPI ports, serial ports (SPORTs), ATAPI controller, SD/SDIO controller, a real-time clock, a watchdog timer, LCD controller, and multiple enhanced parallel peripheral interfaces.

BLACKFIN PROCESSOR PERIPHERALS

All of the peripherals, except for general-purpose I/O, CAN, TWI, real-time clock, and timers, are supported by a flexible DMA structure. There are also separate memory DMA channels dedicated to data transfers between the processor’s various memory spaces, including external DDR (either standard or mobile, depending on the device) and asynchronous memory.

Multiple on-chip buses running at up to 133 MHz provide enough bandwidth to keep the processor core running along with activity on all of the on-chip and external peripherals.

The ADSP-BF54x Blackfin processors include an on-chip voltage regulator in support of the dynamic power management capability. The voltage regulator provides a range of core voltage levels when supplied from VDDEXT. The voltage regulator can be bypassed at the user’s discretion.
