Introduction - Analog Devices ADSP-TS101 TigerSHARC Hardware Reference Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

The ADSP-TS101 TigerSHARC Processor Hardware Reference contains
architectural information required for designing TigerSHARC based sys-
tems. A separate document, the ADSP-TS101 TigerSHARC Processor
Programming Reference, contains the instruction set description required
for programming the TigerSHARC processor. In addition to this manual,
designers should refer to the ADSP-TS101 TigerSHARC Embedded Proces-
sor Data Sheet for pin descriptions, and timing, electrical, and package
specifications.
The TigerSHARC processor is a 32-bit, high performance DSP. The Tig-
erSHARC processor sets a new standard of performance for digital signal
processors, combining multiple computation units for floating-point and
fixed-point processing as well as very wide word widths. The Tiger-
SHARC processor maintains a "system-on-a-chip" scalable computing
design philosophy, including 6M bits of on-chip SRAM, integrated I/O
peripherals, on-chip SDRAM controller, a host processor interface, DMA
controller, link ports, and shared bus connectivity for glueless
multiprocessing.
In addition to providing unprecedented performance in DSP applications
in raw MFLOPS and MIPS, the TigerSHARC processor boosts perfor-
mance measures such as MFLOPS/Watt and MFLOPS/square inch in
multiprocessing applications.
