ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors are members of  
the Blackfin family of products, incorporating the Analog  
Devices Inc./Intel Micro Signal Architecture (MSA). Blackfin  
processors combine a dual-MAC state-of-the-art signal process-  
ing engine, the advantages of a clean, orthogonal RISC-like  
microprocessor instruction set, and single-instruction, multi-  
ple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single  
instruction set architecture.  
SYSTEM INTEGRATION  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors are highly inte-  
grated system-on-a-chip solutions for the next generation of  
consumer and industrial applications including audio and video  
signal processing. By combining advanced memory configura-  
tions, such as on-chip flash memory, industry-standard  
interfaces, and a high performance signal processing core, cost-  
effective solutions can be quickly developed, without the need  
for costly external components. The system peripherals include  
three UART ports, three SPI ports, four serial ports (SPORTs),  
one CAN interface, two 2-wire interfaces (TWI), four general-  
purpose timers (three with PWM capability), a real-time clock, a  
watchdog timer, a parallel peripheral interface (PPI), and gen-  
eral-purpose I/O pins.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors are completely  
code compatible with other Blackfin processors, differing only  
with respect to performance, peripherals, and on-chip memory.  
Specific performance, peripherals, and memory configurations  
are shown in Table 1.

The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors contain a rich set  
of peripherals connected to the core via several high bandwidth  
buses, providing flexibility in system configuration as well as  
excellent overall system performance (see the block diagram  
on Page 1). The general-purpose peripherals include functions  
such as UART, timers with PWM (pulse-width modulation)  
and pulse measurement capability, general-purpose I/O pins, a  
real time clock, and a watchdog timer. This set of functions sat-  
isfies a wide variety of typical system support needs and is  
augmented by the system expansion capabilities of the device. In  
addition to these general-purpose peripherals, the processors  
contain high speed serial and parallel ports for interfacing to a  
variety of audio, video, and modem codec functions. A CAN  
2.0B controller is provided for automotive and industrial con-  
trol networks. An interrupt controller manages interrupts from  
the on-chip peripherals or from external sources. Power man-  
agement control functions tailor the performance and power  
characteristics of the processors and system to many application  
scenarios.

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 four separate memory DMA  
channels dedicated to data transfers between the processor’s  
various memory spaces, including external SDRAM and asyn-  
chronous memory. Multiple on-chip buses running at up to  
133 MHz provide enough bandwidth to keep the processor core  
running with activity on all of the on-chip and external  
peripherals.

By integrating a rich set of industry-leading system peripherals  
and memory, Blackfin processors are the platform of choice for  
next generation applications that require RISC-like program-  
mability, multimedia support and leading edge signal  
processing in one integrated package.  
LOW POWER ARCHITECTURE  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors include an on-chip  
voltage regulator in support of the processor’s dynamic power  
management capability. The voltage regulator provides a range  
of core voltage levels from a single 2.25 V to 3.6 V input. The  
voltage regulator can be bypassed as needed.  
Blackfin processors provide world class power management and  
performance. They are designed using a low power and low  
voltage methodology and feature dynamic power management  
which is the ability to vary both the voltage and frequency of  
operation to significantly lower overall power consumption.  
Varying the voltage and frequency can result in a substantial  
reduction in power consumption, compared with just varying  
the frequency of operation. This translates into longer battery  
life and lower heat dissipation.

instructions include byte alignment and packing operations,  
16-bit and 8-bit adds with clipping, 8-bit average operations,  
and 8-bit subtract/absolute value/accumulate (SAA) operations.  
The compare/select and vector search instructions are also  
provided.  
BLACKFIN PROCESSOR CORE  
As shown in Figure 2 on Page 4, the Blackfin processor core  
contains two 16-bit multipliers, two 40-bit accumulators, two  
40-bit ALUs, four video ALUs, and a 40-bit shifter. The compu-  
tation units process 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit data from the  
register file.  
For certain instructions, two 16-bit ALU operations can be per-  
formed simultaneously on register pairs (a 16-bit high half and  
16-bit low half of a compute register). Quad 16-bit operations  
are possible using the second ALU.  
The compute register file contains eight 32-bit registers. When  
performing compute operations on 16-bit operand data, the  
register file operates as 16 independent 16-bit registers. All  
operands for compute operations come from the multiported  
register file and instruction constant fields.  
The 40-bit shifter can perform shifts and rotates and is used to  
support normalization, field extract, and field deposit  
instructions.  
Each MAC can perform a 16-bit by 16-bit multiply in each  
cycle, accumulating the results into the 40-bit accumulators.  
Signed and unsigned formats, rounding, and saturation are  
supported.  
The program sequencer controls the flow of instruction execu-  
tion, including instruction alignment and decoding. For  
program flow control, the sequencer supports PC relative and  
indirect conditional jumps (with static branch prediction), and  
subroutine calls. Hardware is provided to support zero over-  
head looping. The architecture is fully interlocked, meaning that  
the programmer need not manage the pipeline when executing  
instructions with data dependencies.  
The ALUs perform a traditional set of arithmetic and logical  
operations on 16-bit or 32-bit data. In addition, many special  
instructions are included to accelerate various signal processing  
tasks. These include bit operations such as field extract and pop-  
ulation count, modulo 232 multiply, divide primitives, saturation  
and rounding, and sign/exponent detection. The set of video

The address arithmetic unit provides two addresses for simulta-  
neous dual fetches from memory. It contains a multiported  
register file consisting of four sets of 32-bit index, modify,  
length, and base registers (for circular buffering), and eight  
additional 32-bit pointer registers (for C style indexed stack  
manipulation).

Blackfin processors support a modified Harvard architecture in  
combination with a hierarchical memory structure. Level 1 (L1)  
memories are those that typically operate at the full processor  
speed with little or no latency. At the L1 level, the instruction  
memory holds instructions only. The two data memories hold  
data, and a dedicated scratchpad data memory stores stack and  
local variable information.

tasks that may be operating on the core and can protect system  
registers from unintended access.

The Blackfin processor instruction set has been optimized so  
that 16-bit opcodes represent the most frequently used instruc-  
tions, resulting in excellent compiled code density. Complex  
DSP instructions are encoded into 32-bit opcodes, representing  
fully featured multifunction instructions. Blackfin processors  
support a limited multi-issue capability, where a 32-bit instruc-  
tion can be issued in parallel with two 16-bit instructions,  
allowing the programmer to use many of the core resources in a  
single instruction cycle.

SDRAM MEMORY (16M BYTE TO 128M BYTE)  
Figure 3. ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F Internal/External Memory Map  
The memory DMA controllers provide high bandwidth data  
movement capability. They can perform block transfers of code  
or data between the internal memory and the external  
memory spaces.  
The Blackfin processor assembly language uses an algebraic syn-  
tax for ease of coding and readability. The architecture has been  
optimized for use in conjunction with the C/C++ compiler,  
resulting in fast and efficient software implementations.  
Internal (On-chip) Memory  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors have three blocks  
of on-chip memory providing high bandwidth access to  
the core.  
MEMORY ARCHITECTURE  
The first is the L1 instruction memory, consisting of 80K bytes  
SRAM, of which 16K bytes can be configured as a four way set-  
associative cache. This memory is accessed at full  
processor speed.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors view memory as a  
single unified 4G byte address space, using 32-bit addresses. All  
resources, including internal memory, external memory, and  
I/O control registers, occupy separate sections of this common  
address space. The memory portions of this address space are  
arranged in a hierarchical structure to provide a good cost/per-  
formance balance of some very fast, low latency on-chip  
memory as cache or SRAM, and larger, lower cost and perfor-  
mance off-chip memory systems. See Figure 3.  
The second on-chip memory block is the L1 data memory, con-  
sisting of two banks of up to 32K bytes each. Each memory bank  
is configurable, offering both two-way set-associative cache and  
SRAM functionality. This memory block is accessed at full pro-  
cessor speed.  
The third memory block is a 4K byte scratchpad SRAM which  
runs at the same speed as the L1 memories, but is only accessible  
as data SRAM and cannot be configured as cache memory.  
The L1 memory system is the primary highest performance  
memory available to the Blackfin processor. The off-chip mem-  
ory system, accessed through the External Bus Interface Unit  
(EBIU), provides expansion with SDRAM, flash memory, and  
SRAM, optionally accessing up to 132M bytes of  
physical memory.

• 20 year data retention  
External (Off-Chip) Memory  
External memory is accessed via the external bus interface unit  
(EBIU). This 16-bit interface provides a glueless connection to a  
bank of synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) as well as up to four  
banks of asynchronous memory devices including flash,  
EPROM, ROM, SRAM, and memory mapped I/O devices.  
The Blackfin processor connects to the flash memory die with  
address, data, chip enable, write enable, and output enable con-  
trols as if it were an external memory device.  
The flash chip enable pin FCE must be connected to AMS0 or  
AMS3–1 through a printed circuit board trace. When connected  
to AMS0 the Blackfin processor can boot from the flash die.  
When connected to AMS3–1 the flash memory appears as non-  
volatile memory in the processor memory map shown in  
Figure 3 on Page 5.  
The PC133-compliant SDRAM controller can be programmed  
to interface to up to 128M bytes of SDRAM. The SDRAM con-  
troller allows one row to be open for each internal SDRAM  
bank, for up to four internal SDRAM banks, improving overall  
system performance.  
The asynchronous memory controller can be programmed to  
control up to four banks of devices with very flexible timing  
parameters for a wide variety of devices. Each bank occupies a  
1M byte segment regardless of the size of the devices used, so  
that these banks will only be contiguous if each is fully popu-  
lated with 1M byte of memory.  
Flash Memory Programming  
The ADSP-BF538F4 and ADSP-BF538F8 flash memory may be  
programmed before or after mounting on the printed  
circuit board.  
To program the flash prior to mounting on the printed circuit  
board, use a hardware programming tool that can provide the  
data, address, and control stimuli to the flash die through the  
external pins on the package. During this programming, VDDEXT  
and GND must be provided to the package and the Blackfin  
must be held in reset with bus request (BR) asserted and a  
CLKIN provided.  
Flash Memory  
The ADSP-BF538F4 and ADSP-BF538F8 processors contain a  
separate flash die, connected to the EBIU bus, within the pack-  
age of the processors. Figure 4 on Page 6 shows how the flash  
memory die and Blackfin processor die are connected.  
The VisualDSP++® tools may be used to program the flash  
memory after the device is mounted on a printed circuit board.  
Flash Memory Sector Protection  
To use the sector protection feature, a high voltage (+12 V nom-  
inal) must be applied to the flash FRESET pin. Refer to the flash  
data sheet for details.

Blackfin processors do not define a separate I/O space. All  
resources are mapped through the flat 32-bit address space. On-  
chip I/O devices have their control registers mapped into mem-  
ory mapped registers (MMRs) at addresses near the top of the  
4G byte address space. These are separated into two smaller  
blocks, one which contains the control MMRs for all core func-  
tions, and the other which contains the registers needed for  
setup and control of the on-chip peripherals outside of the core.  
The MMRs are accessible only in supervisor mode and appear  
as reserved space to on-chip peripherals.

Booting  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors contain a small  
boot kernel, which configures the appropriate peripheral for  
booting. If the processor is configured to boot from boot ROM  
memory space, the processor starts executing from the on-chip  
boot ROM. For more information, see Booting Modes on  
Page 16.  
The ADSP-BF538F4 contains a 4M bit (256K ϫ 16-bit) bottom  
boot sector Spansion S29AL004D known good die flash mem-  
ory. The ADSP-BF538F8 contains an 8M bit (512K ϫ 16-bit)  
bottom boot sector Spansion S29AL008D known good die flash  
memory. The following features are also included.  
• access times as fast as 70 ns (EBIU registers must be set  
appropriately)  
Event Handling  
• sector protection  
The event controller on the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F pro-

• Interrupts – Events that occur asynchronously to program  
flow. They are caused by input pins, timers, and other  
peripherals, as well as by an explicit software instruction.  
Each event type has an associated register to hold the return  
address and an associated return-from-event instruction. When  
an event is triggered, the state of the processors is saved on the  
supervisor stack.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processor’s event controllers  
consist of two stages, the core event controller (CEC) and the  
system interrupt controllers (SIC). The core event controller  
works with the system interrupt controllers to prioritize and  
control all system events. Conceptually, interrupts from the  
peripherals enter into one of the SICs, and are then routed  
directly into the general-purpose interrupts of the CEC.  
Core Event Controller (CEC)  
The CEC supports nine general-purpose interrupts (IVG15–7),  
in addition to the dedicated interrupt and exception events. Of  
these general-purpose interrupts, the two lowest priority inter-  
rupts (IVG15–14) are recommended to be reserved for software  
interrupt handlers, leaving seven prioritized interrupt inputs to  
support the peripherals of the processor.  
Table 2 describes the inputs to the CEC, identifies their names  
in the event vector table (EVT), and lists their priorities.

System Interrupt Controllers (SIC)  
The system interrupt controllers (SIC0, SIC1) provide the map-  
ping and routing of events from the many peripheral interrupt  
sources to the prioritized general-purpose interrupt inputs of  
the CEC. Although the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors  
provide a default mapping, the user can alter the mappings and  
priorities of interrupt events by writing the appropriate values  
into the interrupt assignment registers (SIC_IARx).

The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors provide the user  
with a very flexible mechanism to control the processing of  
events. In the CEC, three registers are used to coordinate and  
control events. Each register is 32 bits wide:

• CEC interrupt latch register (ILAT) – The ILAT register  
indicates when events have been latched. The appropriate  
bit is set when the processor has latched the event and  
cleared when the event has been accepted into the system.  
This register is updated automatically by the controller, but  
it may also be written to clear (cancel) latched events. This  
register may be read while in supervisor mode and may  
only be written while in supervisor mode when the corre-  
sponding IMASK bit is cleared.

• CEC interrupt mask register (IMASK) – The IMASK regis-  
ter controls the masking and unmasking of individual  
events. When a bit is set in the IMASK register, that event is  
unmasked and will be processed by the CEC when asserted.  
A cleared bit in the IMASK register masks the event, pre-  
venting the processor from servicing the event even though  
the event may be latched in the ILAT register. This register  
may be read or written while in supervisor mode. (Note  
that general-purpose interrupts can be globally enabled and  
disabled with the STI and CLI instructions, respectively.)

Each SIC allows further control of event processing by provid-

• SIC interrupt mask registers (SIC_IMASKx) – These regis-  
ters control the masking and unmasking of each peripheral  
interrupt event. When a bit is set in these registers, that  
peripheral event is unmasked and will be processed by the  
system when asserted. A cleared bit in these registers masks  
the peripheral event, preventing the processor from servic-  
ing the event.  
implementation of interleaved data streams. This feature is  
especially useful in video applications where data can be  
deinterleaved on the fly.  
Examples of DMA types supported by the processor DMA con-  
troller include:  
• A single, linear buffer that stops upon completion  
• A circular, auto-refreshing buffer that interrupts on each  
full or fractionally full buffer  
• SIC interrupt status registers (SIC_ISRx) – As multiple  
peripherals can be mapped to a single event, these registers  
allow the software to determine which peripheral event  
source triggered the interrupt. A set bit indicates the  
peripheral is asserting the interrupt, and a cleared bit indi-  
cates the peripheral is not asserting the event.  
• 1-D or 2-D DMA using a linked list of descriptors  
• 2-D DMA using an array of descriptors, specifying only the  
base DMA address within a common page  
In addition to the dedicated peripheral DMA channels, there are  
four memory DMA channels provided for transfers between the  
various memories of the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F proces-  
sor’s systems. This enables transfers of blocks of data between  
any of the memories—including external SDRAM, ROM,  
SRAM, and flash memory—with minimal processor interven-  
tion. Memory DMA transfers can be controlled by a very  
flexible descriptor based methodology or by a standard register  
based autobuffer mechanism.  
• SIC interrupt wakeup enable registers (SIC_IWRx) – By  
enabling the corresponding bit in these registers, a periph-  
eral can be configured to wake up the processor, should the  
core be idled when the event is generated. (For more infor-  
mation, see Dynamic Power Management on Page 13.)  
Because multiple interrupt sources can map to a single general-  
purpose interrupt, multiple pulse assertions can occur simulta-  
neously, before or during interrupt processing for an interrupt  
event already detected on this interrupt input. The IPEND  
register contents are monitored by the SICs as the interrupt  
acknowledgement.  
REAL TIME CLOCK  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processor’s real time clock  
(RTC) provides a robust set of digital watch features, including  
current time, stopwatch, and alarm. The RTC is clocked by a  
32.768 kHz crystal external to the processor. The RTC periph-  
eral has dedicated power supply pins so that it can remain  
powered up and clocked even when the rest of the processors  
are in a low power state. The RTC provides several programma-  
ble interrupt options, including interrupt per second, minute,  
hour, or day clock ticks, interrupt on programmable stopwatch  
countdown, or interrupt at a programmed alarm time.  
The appropriate ILAT register bit is set when an interrupt rising  
edge is detected (detection requires two core clock cycles). The  
bit is cleared when the respective IPEND register bit is set. The  
IPEND bit indicates that the event has entered into the proces-  
sor pipeline. At this point the CEC will recognize and queue the  
next rising edge event on the corresponding event input. The  
minimum latency from the rising edge transition of the general-  
purpose interrupt to the IPEND output asserted is three core  
clock cycles; however, the latency can be much higher, depend-  
ing on the activity within and the state of the processor.  
The 32.768 kHz input clock frequency is divided down to a 1 Hz  
signal by a prescaler. The counter function of the timer consists  
of four counters: a 60 second counter, a 60 minute counter, a 24  
hour counter, and a 32,768 day counter.  
DMA CONTROLLERS  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors have two, inde-  
pendent DMA controllers that support automated data transfers  
with minimal overhead for the processor core. DMA transfers  
can occur between the processor internal memories and any of  
its DMA capable peripherals. Additionally, DMA transfers can  
be accomplished between any of the DMA capable peripherals  
and external devices connected to the external memory inter-  
faces, including the SDRAM controller and the asynchronous  
memory controller. DMA capable peripherals include the  
SPORTs, SPI ports, UARTs, and PPI. Each individual DMA  
capable peripheral has at least one dedicated DMA channel.  
When enabled, the alarm function generates an interrupt when  
the output of the timer matches the programmed value in the  
alarm control register. There are two alarms: The first alarm is  
for a time of day. The second alarm is for a day and time of that  
day.  
The stopwatch function counts down from a programmed  
value, with one second resolution. When the stopwatch is  
enabled and the counter underflows, an interrupt is generated.  
Like the other peripherals, the RTC can wake up the ADSP-  
BF538/ADSP-BF538F processor from sleep mode upon genera-  
tion of any RTC wakeup event. Additionally, an RTC wakeup  
event can wake up the processor from deep sleep mode and  
wake up the on-chip internal voltage regulator from the pow-  
ered down hibernate state.  
The DMA controllers support both 1-dimensional (1-D) and 2-  
dimensional (2-D) DMA transfers. DMA transfer initialization  
can be implemented from registers or from sets of parameters  
called descriptor blocks.  
The 2-D DMA capability supports arbitrary row and column  
sizes up to 64K elements by 64K elements, and arbitrary row  
and column step sizes up to 32K elements. Furthermore, the  
column step size can be less than the row step size, allowing

• Buffered (8-deep) transmit and receive ports – Each port  
has a data register for transferring data words to and from  
other processor components and shift registers for shifting  
data in and out of the data registers.  
Figure 5. External Components for RTC  
WATCHDOG TIMER  
• Clocking – Each transmit and receive port can either use an  
external serial clock or generate its own, in frequencies  
ranging from (fSCLK/131,070) Hz to (fSCLK/2) Hz.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors include a 32-bit  
timer that can be used to implement a software watchdog func-  
tion. A software watchdog can improve system availability by  
forcing the processor to a known state through generation of a  
hardware reset, nonmaskable interrupt (NMI), or general-pur-  
pose interrupt, if the timer expires before being reset by  
software. The programmer initializes the count value of the  
timer, enables the appropriate interrupt, then enables the timer.  
Thereafter, the software must reload the counter before it  
counts to zero from the programmed value. This protects the  
system from remaining in an unknown state where software,  
which would normally reset the timer, has stopped running due  
to an external noise condition or software error.  
• Word length – Each SPORT supports serial data words  
from 3 bits to 32 bits in length, transferred most significant  
bit first or least significant bit first.  
• Framing – Each transmit and receive port can run with or  
without frame sync signals for each data word. Frame sync  
signals can be generated internally or externally, active high  
or low, and with either of two pulse widths and early or late  
frame sync.  
• Companding in hardware – Each SPORT can perform  
A-law or μ-law companding according to ITU recommen-  
dation G.711. Companding can be selected on the transmit  
and/or receive channel of the SPORT without additional  
latencies.  
If configured to generate a hardware reset, the watchdog timer  
resets both the core and the processor peripherals. After a reset,  
software can determine if the watchdog was the source of the  
hardware reset by interrogating a status bit in the watchdog  
timer control register.  
• DMA operations with single-cycle overhead – Each SPORT  
can automatically receive and transmit multiple buffers of  
memory data. The processor can link or chain sequences of  
DMA transfers between a SPORT and memory.  
The timer is clocked by the system clock (SCLK), at a maximum  
frequency of fSCLK  
.
• Interrupts – Each transmit and receive port generates an  
interrupt upon completing the transfer of a data word or  
after transferring an entire data buffer or buffers through  
DMA.  
TIMERS  
There are four general-purpose programmable timer units in  
the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors. Three timers have  
an external pin that can be configured either as a pulse width  
modulator (PWM) or timer output, as an input to clock the  
timer, or as a mechanism for measuring pulse widths and peri-  
ods of external events. These timers can be synchronized to an  
external clock input to the PF1 pin (TACLK), an external clock  
input to the PPI_CLK pin (TMRCLK), or to the internal SCLK.  
• Multichannel capability – Each SPORT supports 128 chan-  
nels out of a 1024 channel window and is compatible with  
the H.100, H.110, MVIP-90, and HMVIP standards.  
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI) PORTS  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors incorporate three  
SPI compatible ports that enable the processor to communicate  
with multiple SPI compatible devices.  
The timer units can be used in conjunction with UART0 to  
measure the width of the pulses in the data stream to provide an  
auto-baud detect function for a serial channel.  
The SPI interface uses three pins for transferring data: two data  
pins (master output-slave input, MOSIx, and master input-slave  
output, MISOx) and a clock pin (serial clock, SCKx). An SPI  
chip select input pin (SPIxSS) lets other SPI devices select the  
The timers can generate interrupts to the processor core provid-  
ing periodic events for synchronization, either to the system  
clock or to a count of external signals.

processor. For SPI0, seven SPI chip select output pins  
(SPI0SEL7–1) let the processor select other SPI devices. SPI1  
and SPI2 each have a single SPI chip select output pin  
(SPI1SEL1 and SPI2SEL1) for SPI point-to-point communica-  
tion. Each of the SPI select pins are reconfigured GPIO pins.  
Using these pins, the SPI ports provide a full-duplex, synchro-  
nous serial interface, which supports both master/slave modes  
and multimaster environments.  
DMA channels, one for transmit and one for receive. These  
DMA channels have lower default priority than most DMA  
channels because of their relatively low service rates.  
Each UART port’s baud rate, serial data format, error code gen-  
eration and status, and interrupts are programmable:  
• Supporting bit rates ranging from (fSCLK/ 1,048,576) to  
(fSCLK/16) bits per second.  
• Supporting data formats from 7 to12 bits per frame.  
The SPI ports’ baud rate and clock phase/polarities are pro-  
grammable, and it has an integrated DMA controller,  
configurable to support transmit or receive data streams. Each  
SPI’s DMA controller can only service unidirectional accesses at  
any given time.  
• Both transmit and receive operations can be configured to  
generate maskable interrupts to the processor.  
Each UART port’s clock rate is calculated as:  
fSCLK  
16 × UART_Divisor  
The SPI port’s clock rate is calculated as:  
-----------------------------------------------  
UART Clock Rate =  
fSCLK  
2 × SPIx_BAUD  
--------------------------------------  
SPI Clock Rate =  
Where the 16-bit UART_Divisor comes from the UARTx_DLH  
register (most significant 8 bits) and UARTx_DLL register (least  
significant 8 bits).  
Where the 16-bit SPIx_BAUD register contains a value of 2 to  
65,535.  
In conjunction with the general-purpose timer functions, auto-  
baud detection is supported on UART0.  
During transfers, the SPI port simultaneously transmits and  
receives by serially shifting data in and out on its two serial data  
lines. The serial clock line synchronizes the shifting and sam-  
pling of data on the two serial data lines.  
The capabilities of the UARTs are further extended with sup-  
port for the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) Serial Infrared  
Physical Layer Link Specification (SIR) protocol.  
2-WIRE INTERFACE  
GENERAL-PURPOSE PORTS  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors have two 2-wire  
interface (TWI) modules that are compatible with the Philips  
Inter-IC bus standard. The TWI modules offer the capabilities  
of simultaneous master and slave operation, support for 7-bit  
addressing and multimedia data arbitration. The TWI also  
includes master clock synchronization and support for clock  
low extension.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors have up to 54 gen-  
eral-purpose I/O pins that are multiplexed with other  
peripherals. They are arranged into ports C, D, E, and F as  
shown in Table 4.  
The general-purpose I/O pins may be individually controlled by  
manipulation of the control and status registers. These pins may  
be polled to determine their status.  
The TWI interface uses two pins for transferring clock (SCLx)  
and data (SDAx) and supports the protocol at speeds up to  
400 kbps.  
• GPIO direction control register – Specifies the direction of  
each individual GPIO pin as input or output.  
• GPIO control and status registers – The processor employs  
a “write one to modify” mechanism that allows any combi-  
nation of individual GPIO to be modified in a single  
instruction, without affecting the level of any other GPIO.  
Four control registers and a data register are provided for  
each GPIO port. One register is written in order to set  
GPIO values, one register is written in order to clear GPIO  
values, one register is written in order to toggle GPIO val-  
ues, and one register is written in order to specify a GPIO  
input or output. Reading the GPIO data allows software to  
determine the state of the input GPIO pins.  
The TWI interface pins are compatible with 5 V logic levels.  
UART PORTs  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors incorporate three  
full-duplex Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter  
(UART) ports, which are fully compatible with PC standard  
UARTs. The UART ports provide a simplified UART interface  
to other peripherals or hosts, supporting full-duplex, DMA sup-  
ported, asynchronous transfers of serial data. The UART ports  
include support for 5 data bits to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit or 2 stop  
bits, and none, even, or odd parity. The UART ports support  
two modes of operation:  
In addition to the GPIO function described above, the 16 port F  
pins can be individually configured to generate interrupts.  
• PIO (programmed I/O) – The processor sends or receives  
data by writing or reading I/O mapped UART registers.  
The data is double buffered on both transmit and receive.  
• GPIO Pin interrupt mask registers – The two GPIO pin  
interrupt mask registers allow each individual PFx pin to  
function as an interrupt to the processor. Similar to the two  
GPIO control registers that are used to set and clear indi-  
vidual GPIO pin values, one GPIO pin interrupt mask  
register sets bits to enable interrupt function, and the other  
GPIO pin interrupt mask register clears bits to disable  
• DMA (direct memory access) – The DMA controller trans-  
fers both transmit and receive data. This reduces the  
number and frequency of interrupts required to transfer  
data to and from memory. Each UART has two dedicated

interrupt function. PFx pins defined as inputs can be con-  
figured to generate hardware interrupts, while output PFx  
pins can be triggered by software interrupts.  
General-Purpose Mode Descriptions  
The general-purpose modes of the PPI are intended to suit a  
wide variety of data capture and transmission applications.  
Three distinct submodes are supported:  
• GPIO pin interrupt sensitivity registers – The two GPIO  
pin interrupt sensitivity registers specify whether individ-  
ual PFx pins are level- or edge-sensitive and specify—if  
edge-sensitive—whether just the rising edge or both the ris-  
ing and falling edges of the signal are significant. One  
register selects the type of sensitivity, and one register  
selects which edges are significant for edge-sensitivity.  
• Input mode – frame syncs and data are inputs into the PPI.  
• Frame capture mode – frame syncs are outputs from the  
PPI, but data are inputs.  
• Output mode – frame syncs and data are outputs from the  
PPI.  
Input Mode  
Table 4. GPIO Ports  
Input mode is intended for ADC applications, as well as video  
communication with hardware signaling. In its simplest form,  
PPI_FS1 is an external frame sync input that controls when to  
read data. The PPI_DELAY MMR allows for a delay (in  
PPI_CLK cycles) between reception of this frame sync and the  
initiation of data reads. The number of input data samples is  
user programmable and defined by the contents of the  
PPI_COUNT register. The PPI supports 8-bit, and 10-bit  
through 16-bit data, and are programmable in the

(e.g., for frame capture). The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F pro-  
cessors control when to read from the video source(s). PPI_FS1  
is an HSYNC output and PPI_FS2 is a VSYNC output.

GPIO Port C9–41  
1 Note that the PC9–PC4 pins are GPIO only and cannot be reconfigured through

Output Mode  
PARALLEL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE  
Output mode is used for transmitting video or other data with  
up to three output frame syncs. Typically, a single frame sync is  
appropriate for data converter applications, whereas two or  
three frame syncs could be used for sending video with hard-  
ware signaling.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors provide a parallel  
peripheral interface (PPI) that can connect directly to parallel  
A/D and D/A converters, video encoders and decoders, and  
other general-purpose peripherals. The PPI consists of a dedi-  
cated input clock pin, up to 3 frame synchronization pins, and  
up to 16 data pins. The input clock supports parallel data rates at  
up to fSCLK/2 MHz, and the synchronization signals can be con-  
figured as either inputs or outputs.  
ITU-R 656 Mode Descriptions  
The ITU-R 656 modes of the PPI are intended to suit a wide  
variety of video capture, processing, and transmission applica-  
tions. Three distinct submodes are supported:  
The PPI supports a variety of general-purpose and ITU-R 656  
modes of operation. In general-purpose mode, the PPI provides  
half-duplex, bi-directional data transfer with up to 16 bits of  
data. Up to 3 frame synchronization signals are also provided.  
In ITU-R 656 mode, the PPI provides half-duplex, bi-direc-  
tional transfer of 8- or 10-bit video data. Additionally, on-chip  
decode of embedded start-of-line (SOL) and start-of-field (SOF)  
preamble packets is supported.  
• Active video only mode  
• Vertical blanking only mode  
• Entire field mode  
Active Video Only Mode  
Active video only mode is used when only the active video por-  
tion of a field is of interest and not any of the blanking intervals.  
The PPI does not read in any data between the end of active  
video (EAV) and start of active video (SAV) preamble symbols,  
or any data present during the vertical blanking intervals. In this  
mode, the control byte sequences are not stored to memory;  
they are filtered by the PPI. After synchronizing to the start of

code. The user specifies the number of active video lines per

further reducing power dissipation. Control of clocking to each  
of the processor peripherals also reduces power consumption.  
See Table 5 for a summary of the power settings for each mode.  
Vertical Blanking Interval Mode  
In this mode, the PPI only transfers vertical blanking interval  
(VBI) data.  
Full-On Operating Mode—Maximum Performance  
Entire Field Mode  
In the full-on mode, the PLL is enabled and is not bypassed,  
providing capability for maximum operational frequency. This  
is the powerup default execution state in which maximum per-  
formance can be achieved. The processor core and all enabled  
peripherals run at full speed.  
In this mode, the entire incoming bit stream is read in through  
the PPI. This includes active video, control preamble sequences,  
and ancillary data that may be embedded in horizontal and ver-  
tical blanking intervals. Data transfer starts immediately after  
synchronization to Field 1.  
Active Operating Mode—Moderate Power Savings  
CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) INTERFACE  
In the active mode, the PLL is enabled but bypassed. Because the  
PLL is bypassed, the processor’s core clock (CCLK) and system  
clock (SCLK) run at the input clock (CLKIN) frequency. In this  
mode, the CLKIN to CCLK multiplier ratio can be changed,  
although the changes are not realized until the full-on mode is  
entered. DMA access is available to appropriately configured L1  
memories.  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors provide a CAN  
controller that is a communication controller implementing the  
Controller Area Network (CAN) V2.0B protocol. This protocol  
is an asynchronous communications protocol used in both  
industrial and automotive control systems. CAN is well suited  
for control applications due to its capability to communicate  
reliably over a network since the protocol incorporates CRC  
checking, message error tracking, and fault node confinement.  
In the active mode, it is possible to disable the PLL through the  
PLL Control register (PLL_CTL). If disabled, the PLL must be  
re-enabled before transitioning to the Full-On or Sleep modes.  
The CAN controller is based on a 32-entry mailbox RAM and  
supports both the standard and extended identifier (ID) mes-  
sage formats specified in the CAN protocol specification,  
revision 2.0, part B.  
Table 5. Power Settings  
Each mailbox consists of eight 16-bit data words. The data is  
divided into fields, which includes a message identifier, a time  
stamp, a byte count, up to 8 bytes of data, and several control  
bits. Each node monitors the messages being passed on the net-  
work. If the identifier in the transmitted message matches an  
identifier in one of its mailboxes, then the module knows that  
the message was meant for it, passes the data into its appropriate  
mailbox, and signals the processor of message arrival with an  
interrupt.

The CAN controller can wake up the processor from sleep mode  
upon generation of a wakeup event, such that the processor can  
be maintained in a low power mode during idle conditions.  
Additionally, a CAN wakeup event can wake up the on-chip  
internal voltage regulator from the powered-down  
hibernate state.  
Sleep Operating Mode—High Dynamic Power Savings  
The sleep mode reduces dynamic power dissipation by disabling  
the clock to the processor core (CCLK). The PLL and system  
clock (SCLK), however, continue to operate in this mode. Typi-  
cally an external event or RTC activity will wake up the  
processor. When in the Sleep mode, assertion of wakeup causes  
the processor to sense the value of the BYPASS bit in the PLL  
control register (PLL_CTL). If BYPASS is disabled, the proces-  
sor transitions to the full on mode. If BYPASS is enabled, the  
processor will transition to the Active mode. When in the sleep  
mode, system DMA access to L1 memory is not supported.  
The electrical characteristics of each network connection are  
very stringent, therefore the CAN interface is typically divided  
into 2 parts: a controller and a transceiver. This allows a single  
controller to support different drivers and CAN networks. The  
ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F CAN module represents the con-  
troller part of the interface. This module’s network I/O is a  
single transmit output and a single receive input, which connect  
to a line transceiver.  
Deep Sleep Operating Mode—Maximum Dynamic Power  
Savings  
The CAN clock is derived from the processor system clock  
(SCLK) through a programmable divider and therefore does not  
require an additional crystal.  
The deep sleep mode maximizes dynamic power savings by dis-  
abling the clocks to the processor core (CCLK) and to all  
synchronous peripherals (SCLK). Asynchronous peripherals  
such as the RTC may still be running, but will not be able to  
access internal resources or external memory. This powered  
down mode can only be exited by assertion of the reset interrupt  
(RESET) or by an asynchronous interrupt generated by the  
DYNAMIC POWER MANAGEMENT  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors provide four oper-  
ating modes, each with a different performance/power profile.  
In addition, dynamic power management provides the control  
functions to dynamically alter the processor core supply voltage,

ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F  
RTC. When in deep sleep mode, an RTC asynchronous inter-  
rupt causes the processor to transition to the active mode.  
Assertion of RESET while in deep sleep mode causes the proces-  
sor to transition to the full on mode after processor reset.  
The dynamic power management feature of the processor  
allows both the processor’s input voltage (VDDINT) and clock fre-  
quency (fCCLK) to be dynamically controlled.  
The savings in power dissipation can be modeled using the  
power savings factor and % power savings calculations.  
Hibernate State—Maximum Static Power Savings  
The power savings factor is calculated as:  
The hibernate state maximizes static power savings by disabling  
the voltage and clocks to the processor core (CCLK) and to all  
the synchronous peripherals (SCLK). The internal voltage regu-  
lator for the processor can be shut off by writing b#00 to the  
FREQ bits of the VR_CTL register. This disables both CCLK  
and SCLK. Furthermore, it sets the internal power supply volt-  
age (VDDINT) to 0 V to provide the lowest static power  
dissipation. Any critical information stored internally (memory  
contents, register contents, etc.) must be written to a nonvolatile  
storage device prior to removing power if the processor state is  
to be preserved. Since VDDEXT is still supplied in this mode, all of  
the external pins three-state, unless otherwise specified. This  
allows other devices that may be connected to the processor to  
still have power applied without drawing unwanted current.  
The internal supply regulator can be woken up either by a real  
time clock wakeup, by CAN bus traffic, by asserting the RESET  
pin, or by an external source.

As shown in Table 6, the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F proces-  
sors support three different power domains. The use of multiple  
power domains maximizes flexibility, while maintaining com-  
pliance with industry standards and conventions. The 3.3 V  
VDDRTC power domain supplies the RTC I/O and logic so that  
the RTC can remain functional when the rest of the chip is pow-  
ered off. The 1.25 V VDDINT power domain supplies all the  
internal logic except for the RTC logic. The 3.3 V VDDEXT power  
domain supplies all the I/O except for the RTC crystal. There  
are no sequencing requirements for the various power domains.  
VOLTAGE REGULATION  
The Blackfin processor provides an on-chip voltage regulator  
that can generate processor core voltage levels of 0.8 V  
(–5%/+10%) to 1.2 V (–5%/+10%) and 1.25 V (–4% to +10%)  
from an external 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply. Figure 6 shows the typi-  
cal external components required to complete the power  
management system.

SHORT AND LOW-  
INDUCTANCE WIRE  
The power dissipated by a processor is largely a function of the  
clock frequency of the processor and the square of the operating  
voltage. For example, reducing the clock frequency by 25%  
results in a 25% reduction in dynamic power dissipation, while  
reducing the voltage by 25% reduces dynamic power dissipation  
by more than 40%. Further, these power savings are additive, in  
that if the clock frequency and supply voltage are both reduced,  
the power savings can be dramatic.

Voltage Regulator Layout Guidelines  
Regulator external component placement, board routing, and  
bypass capacitors all have a significant effect on noise injected  
into the other analog circuits on-chip. The VROUT1-0 traces  
and voltage regulator external components should be consid-  
ered as noise sources when doing board layout and should not  
be routed or placed near sensitive circuits or components on the  
board. All internal and I/O power supplies should be well  
bypassed with bypass capacitors placed as close to the

DEPENDING ON THE CRYSTAL AND LAYOUT. PLEASE  
ANALYZE CAREFULLY.  
Figure 7. External Crystal Connections  
As shown in Figure 8, the core clock (CCLK) and system  
peripheral clock (SCLK) are derived from the input clock  
(CLKIN) signal. An on-chip PLL is capable of multiplying the  
CLKIN signal by a user programmable 0.5× to 64× multiplica-  
tion factor (bounded by specified minimum and maximum  
VCO frequencies). The default multiplier is 10×, but it can be  
modified by a software instruction sequence. On-the-fly fre-  
quency changes can be effected by simply writing to the  
PLL_DIV register.

The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processor can be clocked by  
an external crystal, a sine wave input, or a buffered, shaped  
clock derived from an external clock oscillator.  
If an external clock is used, it should be a TTL compatible signal  
and must not be halted, changed, or operated below the speci-  
fied frequency during normal operation. This signal is  
connected to the processor’s CLKIN pin. When an external  
clock is used, the XTAL pin must be left unconnected.

Alternatively, because the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F proces-  
sor includes an on-chip oscillator circuit, an external crystal  
may be used. For fundamental frequency operation, use the cir-  
cuit shown in Figure 7. A parallel-resonant, fundamental  
frequency, microprocessor-grade crystal is connected across the  
CLKIN and XTAL pins. The on-chip resistance between CLKIN  
and the XTAL pin is in the 500 kW range. Further parallel resis-  
tors are typically not recommended. The two capacitors and the  
series resistor, shown in Figure 7, fine tune the phase and ampli-  
tude of the sine frequency. The capacitor and resistor values,  
shown in Figure 7, are typical values only. The capacitor values  
are dependent upon the crystal manufacturer's load capacitance  
recommendations and the physical PCB layout. The resistor  
value depends on the drive level specified by the crystal manu-  
facturer. System designs should verify the customized values  
based on careful investigation on multiple devices over the  
allowed temperature range.

Figure 8. Frequency Modification Methods  
All on-chip peripherals are clocked by the system clock (SCLK).  
The system clock frequency is programmable by means of the  
SSEL3–0 bits of the PLL_DIV register. The values programmed  
into the SSEL fields define a divide ratio between the PLL output  
(VCO) and the system clock. SCLK divider values are 1  
through 15.  
A third-overtone crystal can be used at frequencies above  
25 MHz. The circuit is then modified to ensure crystal operation  
only at the third overtone, by adding a tuned inductor circuit as  
shown in Figure 7.

Table 7 illustrates typical system clock ratios:  
The BMODE pins of the reset configuration register, sampled  
during power-on resets and software initiated resets, implement  
the following modes:

• Execute from 16-bit external memory – Execution starts  
from address 0x2000 0000 with 16-bit packing. The boot  
ROM is bypassed in this mode. All configuration settings  
are set for the slowest device possible (3-cycle hold time;  
15-cycle R/W access times; 4-cycle setup).

• Boot from 8-bit or 16-bit external flash memory – The 8-bit  
flash boot routine located in boot ROM memory space is  
set up using asynchronous memory bank 0. For  
ADSP-BF538F processors, the on-chip flash is booted if  
FCE is connected to AMS0. All configuration settings are  
set for the slowest device possible (3-cycle hold time;  
15-cycle R/W access times; 4-cycle setup).

The maximum frequency of the system clock is fSCLK. Note that  
the divisor ratio must be chosen to limit the system clock fre-  
quency to its maximum of fSCLK. The SSEL value can be changed  
dynamically without any PLL lock latencies by writing the  
appropriate values to the PLL divisor register (PLL_DIV).  
• Boot from SPI serial EEPROM/flash (8-, 16-, or 24-bit  
addressable, or Atmel AT45DB041, AT45DB081, or  
AT45DB161) connected to SPI0– SPI0 uses the PF2 output  
pin to select a single SPI EEPROM/flash device, submits a  
read command and successive address bytes (0x00) until a  
valid 8-, 16-, or 24-bit, or Atmel addressable device is  
detected, and begins clocking data into the processor at the  
beginning of L1 instruction memory.  
Note that when the SSEL value is changed, it will affect all the  
peripherals that derive their clock signals from the SCLK signal.  
The core clock (CCLK) frequency can also be dynamically  
changed by means of the CSEL1–0 bits of the PLL_DIV register.  
Supported CCLK divider ratios are 1, 2, 4, and 8, as shown in  
Table 8. This programmable core clock capability is useful for  
fast core frequency modifications.  
• Boot from SPI host device connected to SPI0 – The Black-  
fin processor operates in SPI slave mode and is configured  
to receive the bytes of the LDR file from an SPI host (mas-  
ter) agent. To hold off the host device from transmitting  
while the boot ROM is busy, the Blackfin processor asserts  
a GPIO pin, called host wait (HWAIT), to signal the host  
device not to send any more bytes until the flag is deas-  
serted. The flag is chosen by the user and this information  
is transferred to the Blackfin processor via bits 10:5 of the  
FLAG header in the LDR image.

For each of the boot modes, a 10-byte header is first read from  
an external memory device. The header specifies the number of  
bytes to be transferred and the memory destination address.  
Multiple memory blocks may be loaded by any boot sequence.  
Once all blocks are loaded, program execution commences from  
the start of L1 instruction SRAM.  
BOOTING MODES  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors have three mecha-  
nisms (listed in Table 9) for automatically loading internal L1  
instruction memory after a reset. A fourth mode is provided to  
execute from external memory, bypassing the boot sequence.  
In addition, Bit 4 of the reset configuration register can be set by  
application code to bypass the normal boot sequence during a  
software reset. For this case, the processor jumps directly to the  
beginning of L1 instruction memory.

fast flash, variable baud rate, and other sources. In all boot  
modes except bypass, program execution starts from on-chip L1

ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F  
fully featured multifunction instructions that allow the pro-  
grammer to use many of the processor core resources in a single  
instruction. Coupled with many features more often seen on  
microcontrollers, this instruction set is very efficient when com-  
piling C and C++ source code. In addition, the architecture  
supports both user (algorithm/application code) and supervisor  
(O/S kernel, device drivers, debuggers, ISRs) modes of opera-  
tion, allowing multiple levels of access to core processor  
resources.  
plexity, this capability can have increasing significance on the  
designer’s development schedule, increasing productivity. Sta-  
tistical profiling enables the programmer to nonintrusively poll  
the processors as they are running the program. This feature,  
unique to VisualDSP++, enables the software developer to pas-  
sively gather important code execution metrics without  
interrupting the real time characteristics of the program. Essen-  
tially, the developer can identify bottlenecks in software quickly  
and efficiently. By using the profiler, the programmer can focus  
on those areas in the program that impact performance and take  
corrective action.  
The assembly language, which takes advantage of the proces-  
sor’s unique architecture, offers the following advantages:  
Debugging both C/C++ and assembly programs with the  
VisualDSP++ debugger, programmers can:  
• Seamlessly integrated DSP/CPU features are optimized for  
both 8-bit and 16-bit operations.  
• View mixed C/C++ and assembly code (interleaved source  
and object information).  
• A multi-issue load/store modified Harvard architecture,  
which supports two 16-bit MAC or four 8-bit ALU plus  
two load/store plus two pointer updates per cycle.  
• Insert breakpoints.  
• All registers, I/O, and memory are mapped into a unified  
4G byte memory space, providing a simplified program-  
ming model.  
• Set conditional breakpoints on registers, memory,  
and stacks.  
• Trace instruction execution.  
• Microcontroller features, such as arbitrary bit and bit-field  
manipulation, insertion, and extraction; integer operations  
on 8-, 16-, and 32-bit data types; and separate user and  
supervisor stack pointers.  
• Perform linear or statistical profiling of program execution.  
• Fill, dump, and graphically plot the contents of memory.  
• Perform source level debugging.  
• Code density enhancements, which include intermixing of  
16- and 32-bit instructions (no mode switching, no code  
segregation). Frequently used instructions are encoded in  
16 bits.  
• Create custom debugger windows.  
The VisualDSP++ IDDE lets programmers define and manage  
software development. Its dialog boxes and property pages let  
programmers configure and manage all of the Blackfin develop-  
ment tools, including the color syntax highlighting in the  
VisualDSP++ editor. This capability permits programmers to:  
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS  
The ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors are supported with  
a complete set of CROSSCORE® software and hardware devel-  
opment tools, including Analog Devices emulators and  
VisualDSP++®development environment. The same emulator  
hardware that supports other Blackfin processors also fully  
emulates the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors.  
• Control how the development tools process inputs and  
generate outputs.  
• Maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the tool’s  
command line switches.  
The VisualDSP++ Kernel (VDK) incorporates scheduling and  
resource management tailored specifically to address the mem-  
ory and timing constraints of DSP programming. These  
capabilities enable engineers to develop code more effectively,  
eliminating the need to start from the very beginning when  
developing new application code. The VDK features include  
threads, critical and unscheduled regions, semaphores, events,  
and device flags. The VDK also supports priority-based, pre-  
emptive, cooperative, and time-sliced scheduling approaches. In  
addition, the VDK was designed to be scalable. If the application  
does not use a specific feature, the support code for that feature  
is excluded from the target system.  
The VisualDSP++ project management environment lets pro-  
grammers develop and debug an application. This environment  
includes an easy to use assembler (which is based on an alge-  
braic syntax), an archiver (librarian/library builder), a linker, a  
loader, a cycle-accurate instruction-level simulator, a C/C++  
compiler, and a C/C++ runtime library that includes DSP and  
mathematical functions. A key point for these tools is C/C++  
code efficiency. The compiler has been developed for efficient  
translation of C/C++ code to processor assembly. The proces-  
sors have architectural features that improve the efficiency of  
compiled C/C++ code.  
The VisualDSP++ debugger has a number of important fea-  
tures. Data visualization is enhanced by a plotting package that  
offers a significant level of flexibility. This graphical representa-  
tion of user data enables the programmer to quickly determine  
the performance of an algorithm. As algorithms grow in com-  
Because the VDK is a library, a developer can decide whether to  
use it or not. The VDK is integrated into the VisualDSP++  
development environment, but can also be used via standard  
command line tools. When the VDK is used, the development  
environment assists the developer with many error prone tasks  
and assists in managing system resources, automating the gen-  
eration of various VDK based objects, and visualizing the  
system state, when debugging an application that uses the VDK.

operation has been completed by the emulator, the processor  
system is set running at full speed with no impact on system  
timing.  
To use these emulators, the target board must include a header  
that connects the processor’s JTAG port to the emulator.  
For details on target board design issues including mechanical  
layout, single processor connections, multiprocessor scan  
chains, signal buffering, signal termination, and emulator pod  
logic, see Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical Reference  
(EE-68) on the Analog Devices web site (www.analog.com)—  
use site search on “EE-68.” This document is updated regularly  
to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.  
Analog Devices emulators use the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Test  
Access Port of the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processors to  
monitor and control the target board processor during emula-  
tion. The emulator provides full speed emulation, allowing  
inspection and modification of memory, registers, and proces-  
sor stacks. Nonintrusive in-circuit emulation is assured by the  
use of the processor’s JTAG interface—the emulator does not  
affect target system loading or timing.  
In addition to the software and hardware development tools  
available from Analog Devices, third parties provide a wide  
range of tools supporting the Blackfin processor family. Hard-  
ware tools include Blackfin processor PC plug-in cards. Third  
party software tools include DSP libraries, real time operating  
systems, and block diagram design tools.

forms to use as a cost effective method to learn more about  
developing or prototyping applications with Analog Devices  
processors, platforms, and software tools. Each EZ-KIT Lite  
includes an evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of  
the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment  
with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. Also included  
are sample application programs, power supply, and a USB  
cable. All evaluation versions of the software tools are limited  
for use only with the EZ-KIT Lite product.  
The USB controller on the EZ-KIT Lite board connects the  
board to the USB port of the user’s PC, enabling the  
VisualDSP++ evaluation suite to emulate the on-board proces-  
sor in-circuit. This permits the customer to download, execute,  
and debug programs for the EZ-KIT Lite system. It also allows  
in-circuit programming of the on-board flash device to store  
user-specific boot code, enabling the board to run as a standal-  
one unit without being connected to the PC.  
With a full version of VisualDSP++ installed (sold separately),  
engineers can develop software for the EZ-KIT Lite or any cus-  
tom defined system. Connecting one of Analog Devices JTAG  
emulators to the EZ-KIT Lite board enables high speed, non-  
intrusive emulation.  
DESIGNING AN EMULATOR COMPATIBLE  
PROCESSOR BOARD  
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every sys-  
tem developer needs to test and debug hardware and software  
systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG  
Test Access Port (TAP) on each JTAG processor. The emulator  
uses the TAP to access the internal features of the processor,  
allowing the developer to load code, set breakpoints, observe  
variables, observe memory, and examine registers. The proces-

PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F processor pin definitions are listed  
in Table 10.  
unused I/O pins have their input buffers disabled with the  
exception of the pins that need pull-ups or pull-downs, as noted  
in the table.  
All pins are three-stated during and immediately after reset,  
except the memory interface, asynchronous memory control,  
and synchronous memory control pins, which are driven high.  
If BR is active, then the memory pins are also three-stated. All  
In order to maintain maximum functionality and reduce pack-  
age size and pin count, some pins have dual, multiplexed  
functionality. In cases where pin functionality is reconfigurable,  
the default state is shown in plain text, while alternate function-  
ality is shown in italics.

2 If the DF bit in the PLL_CTL register is set, then the maximum tCKIN period is 50 ns.  
3 CLKIN frequency must not change on the fly.  
4 Applies after power-up sequence is complete. At power-up, the processor’s internal phase-locked loop requires no more than 2000 CLKIN cycles, while RESET is asserted,  
assuming stable power supplies and CLKIN (not including startup time of external clock oscillator).

ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F  
POWER DISSIPATION  
tDECAY = (CLΔV) ⁄ IL  
Many operating conditions can affect power dissipation. System  
designers should refer to Estimating Power for ADSP-  
BF538/ADSP-BF539 Blackfin Processors (EE-298) on the Analog  
Devices website (www.analog.com)—use site search on  
“EE-298.” This document provides detailed information for  
optimizing your design for lowest power.  
The time tDECAY is calculated with test loads CL and IL, and with  
ΔV equal to 0.5 V for VDDEXT (nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V.  
The time tDIS+_MEASURED is the interval from when the reference  
signal switches, to when the output voltage decays ΔV from the  
measured output high or output low voltage.  
See the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F Blackfin Processor Hard-  
ware Reference Manual for definitions of the various operating  
modes and for instructions on how to minimize system power.  
Example System Hold Time Calculation  
To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,  
first calculate tDECAY using the equation given above. Choose ΔV  
to be the difference between the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F  
processor’s output voltage and the input threshold for the  
device requiring the hold time. CL is the total bus capacitance  
(per data line), and IL is the total leakage or three-state current  
(per data line). The hold time will be tDECAY plus the various out-  
put disable times as specified in the Timing Specifications on  
Page 26 (for example tDSDAT for an SDRAM write cycle as shown  
in Table 22 on Page 32).  
TEST CONDITIONS  
All timing parameters appearing in this data sheet were mea-  
sured under the conditions described in this section. Figure 39  
shows the measurement point for AC measurements (except  
output enable/disable). The measurement point VMEAS is 1.5 V  
for VDDEXT (nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V.

The output enable time tENA is the interval from the point when  
a reference signal reaches a high or low voltage level to the point  
when the output starts driving as shown on the right side of Fig-  
ure 40, “Output Enable/Disable,” on Page 48.  
OUTPUT STOPS DRIVING

TEST CONDITIONS CAUSE THIS  
VOLTAGE TO BE APPROXIMATELY 1.5V.  
The time tENA_MEASURED is the interval, from when the reference  
signal switches, to when the output voltage reaches VTRIP(high)  
or VTRIP(low). VTRIP(high) is 2.0 V and VTRIP(low) is 1.0 V for

Time tENA is calculated as shown in the equation:  
tENA = tENA_MEASURED tTRIP  
Figure 41. Equivalent Device Loading for AC Measurements  
(Includes All Fixtures)  
If multiple pins (such as the data bus) are enabled, the measure-  
ment value is that of the first pin to start driving.  
Output Disable Time Measurement  
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driv-  
ing, go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from their  
output high or low voltage. The output disable time tDIS is the  
difference between tDIS_MEASURED and tDECAY as shown on the left  
side of Figure 40.  
tDIS = tDIS_MEASURED tDECAY  
The time for the voltage on the bus to decay by ΔV is dependent  
on the capacitive load CL and the load current IL. This decay  
time can be approximated by the equation:

Capacitive Loading  
Output delays and holds are based on standard capacitive loads:  
30 pF on all pins (see Figure 41). VLOAD is 1.5 V for VDDEXT  
(nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V. Figure 42 through Figure 51 on  
Page 51 show how output rise and fall times vary with capaci-  
tance. The delay and hold specifications given should be derated  
by a factor derived from these figures. The graphs in these fig-  
ures may not be linear outside the ranges shown.
