FAQ:
What is the floating-point performance of the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B, and how should I interpret 700 MFLOPS?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B's SHARC core runs at 350 MHz and can perform one multiply-accumulate (MAC) per cycle, which corresponds to two floating-point operations (one multiplication and one addition). This yields a peak performance of 2 × 350 MHz = 700 MFLOPS, easily handling 128-tap FIR filters, real-time FFTs, and complex audio effects.
How much internal memory does this chip have? Is it enough for complex algorithms?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B integrates 5 Mbit of SRAM (3 Mbit program RAM and 2 Mbit data RAM). This is sufficient for many common audio tasks like multi-band EQ, reverb, and dynamics processing. For larger programs, the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B's external memory interface can add SDRAM and FLASH.
What audio interfaces does it have, and can it directly connect to ADCs and DACs?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B provides four SPORTs (synchronous serial ports), each configurable for I2S, TDM, or left/right-justified modes. These ports connect directly to multi-channel audio ADCs, DACs, or codecs without additional conversion hardware, making the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B ideal for multi-channel audio products.
How does the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B compare to the 21488 or 21479 families?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B shares the same fourth-generation SHARC core and 5-Mbit memory architecture. The primary differences are clock speed and package: the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B offers 350 MHz, while the 21488 features 400 MHz, and the 21479 is available at 266 MHz. Choose the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B for a balanced mix of performance and LQFP-176 packaging.
What software and tools are needed to develop for this DSP?
You can use ADI’s CrossCore Embedded Studio (CCES) or the classic VisualDSP++ to develop for the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B. Both provide a C/C++ compiler, debugger, and highly optimized DSP libraries. Extensive application notes and reference examples are available on the ADI website to accelerate development of the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B.
What is the operating temperature range? Is it suitable for industrial or outdoor use?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B operates over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, which is well-suited for indoor audio equipment, instrumentation, and consumer electronics. For -40°C to +105°C operation, choose an industrial-temperature version of the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B series.
Can the four SPORTs handle four stereo I2S streams simultaneously, and how many channels are possible?
Yes. Each SPORT of the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B can be configured as a stereo I2S port (left and right channels), giving you four stereo inputs/outputs (eight audio channels). Using TDM mode, the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B can carry even more channels, enabling larger multi-channel systems.
Can I build a complete digital mixer or effects processor with it?
Absolutely. With 700 MFLOPS of processing power, four SPORTs, and SPI/UART connectivity, a single ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B can handle parametric EQ, compression, delay, reverb, and many other effects, while communicating with a host MCU or display over SPI or UART for a complete user interface.
How do I store and load the program? Does it have internal flash?
The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B does not contain non-volatile memory. You need to connect an external SPI flash memory to store the program. The ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B automatically boots from the SPI flash at power-up, and JTAG can be used for development and debugging.
I am new to DSP development. What is the quickest way to get started with an audio project?
We recommend starting with an official ADI evaluation board (e.g., ADZS-21489-EZLITE) compatible with the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B. Combined with CrossCore Embedded Studio and the many audio example projects provided by ADI, you can run your first audio effect within a day and then gradually integrate your own algorithms targeting the ADSP-21489BSWZ-3B.
