Introduction; General Description Of Processor - Analog Devices ADSP-BF506F Hardware Reference Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

The ADSP-BF50x processors are members of the Blackfin processor fam-
ily that offer significant high performance and low power features while
retaining their ease-of-use benefits. The ADSP-BF504, ADSP-BF504F,
and ADSP-BF506F processors have differing peripheral features. For
details, see Table

General Description of Processor

The ADSP-BF50x processor is a member of the Blackfin® family of prod-
ucts, 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 micro-
processor instruction set, and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD)
multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture.
The ADSP-BF50x processor is completely code compatible with other
Blackfin processors. ADSP-BF50x processors offer performance up to
400 MHz and reduced static power consumption. The processor features
are shown in
