Preface; Purpose Of This Manual; Intended Audience - Analog Devices ADSP-21261 SHARC Hardware Reference Manual

PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing and developing systems using SHARC® pro-
cessors from Analog Devices.

Purpose of This Manual

ADSP-2126x SHARC Processor Hardware Reference contains information
about the DSP architecture and DSP assembly language for SHARC pro-
cessors. These are 32-bit, fixed- and floating-point digital signal processors
from Analog Devices for use in computing, communications, and con-
sumer applications.
The manual provides information on how assembly instructions execute
on the ADSP-2126x processor's architecture along with reference infor-
mation about DSP operations.

Intended Audience

The primary audience for this manual is a programmer who is familiar
with Analog Devices processors. The manual assumes the audience has a
working knowledge of the appropriate processor architecture and instruc-
tion set. Programmers who are unfamiliar with Analog Devices processors
can use this manual, but should supplement it with other texts, such as
hardware and programming reference manuals that describe their target
architecture.
