The ADSP-BF535 processor is a member of the Blackfin
processor family of products, incorporating the Micro Signal
Architecture (MSA), jointly developed by Analog Devices, Inc.
and Intel Corporation. The architecture combines a dual MAC
state-of-the-art signal processing engine, the advantages of a
clean, orthogonal RISC-like microprocessor instruction set, and
Single-Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) multimedia capabili-
ties into a single instruction set architecture.
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 programma-
bility, multimedia support, and leading edge signal processing in
one integrated package.
Blackfin processors provide world class power management and
performance. Blackfin processors are designed in a low power
and low voltage design methodology and feature dynamic power
management, the ability to independently 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, by comparison to
just varying the frequency of operation. This translates into
longer battery life for portable appliances.
The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor is a highly integrated
system-on-a-chip solution for the next generation of digital com-
munication and portable Internet appliances. By combining
industry-standard interfaces with a high performance signal
processing core, users can develop cost-effective solutions
quickly without the need for costly external components. The
ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor system peripherals include
UARTs, SPIs, SPORTs, general-purpose Timers, a Real-Time

The on-chip peripherals can be easily augmented in many system
designs with little or no glue logic due to the inclusion of several
interfaces providing expansion on industry-standard buses.
These include a 32-bit, 33 MHz, V2.2 compliant PCI bus, SPI
serial expansion ports, and a device type USB port. These enable
the connection of a large variety of peripheral devices to tailor the
system design to specific applications with a minimum of design
complexity.

The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor contains 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 Functional Block
Diagram
on Page 1.
The base peripherals include general-
purpose functions such as UARTs, timers with PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation) and pulse measurement capability, general-
purpose flag I/O pins, a real-time clock, and a watchdog timer.
This set of functions satisfies a wide variety of typical system
support needs and is augmented by the system expansion capa-
bilities of the part. In addition to these general-purpose
peripherals, the ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor contains high
speed serial ports for interfaces to a variety of audio and modem
CODEC functions. It also contains an event handler for flexible
management of interrupts from the on-chip peripherals and
external sources. And it contains power management control
functions to tailor the performance and power characteristics of
the processor and system to many application scenarios.
All of the peripherals, except for programmable flags, real-time
clock, and timers, are supported by a flexible DMA structure with
individual DMA channels integrated into the peripherals. There
is also a separate memory DMA channel dedicated to data
transfers between the various memory spaces including external
SDRAM and asynchronous memory, internal Level 1 and Level
2 SRAM, and PCI memory spaces. Multiple on-chip 32-bit
buses, running at up to 133 MHz, provide adequate bandwidth
to keep the processor core running along with activity on all of
the on-chip and external peripherals.
Processor Core
As shown in
Figure 1,
the Blackfin processor core contains two
multiplier/accumulators (MACs), two 40-bit ALUs, four video
ALUs, and a single shifter. The computational units process
8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit data from the register file.
Each MAC performs a 16-bit by 16-bit multiply in every cycle,
with an accumulation to a 40-bit result, providing 8 bits of
extended precision.
The ALUs perform a standard set of arithmetic and logical oper-
ations. With two ALUs capable of operating on 16- or 32-bit data,
the flexibility of the computation units covers the signal process-
ing requirements of a varied set of application needs. Each of the
two 32-bit input registers can be regarded as two 16-bit halves,
so each ALU can accomplish very flexible single 16-bit arithmetic
operations. By viewing the registers as pairs of 16-bit operands,
dual 16-bit or single 32-bit operations can be accomplished in a
single cycle. Quad 16-bit operations can be accomplished simply,
by taking advantage of the second ALU. This accelerates the per
cycle throughput.
Figure 1. Processor Core
–3–
ADSP-BF535
The powerful 40-bit shifter has extensive capabilities for perform-
ing shifting, rotating, normalization, extraction, and for
depositing data.
The data for the computational units is found in a multiported
register file of sixteen 16-bit entries or eight 32-bit entries.
A powerful program sequencer controls the flow of instruction
execution, including instruction alignment and decoding. The
sequencer supports conditional jumps and subroutine calls, as
well as zero-overhead looping. A loop buffer stores instructions
locally, eliminating instruction memory accesses for tightly
looped code.
Two data address generators (DAGs) provide addresses for
simultaneous dual operand fetches from memory. The DAGs
share a register file containing four sets of 32-bit Index, Modify,
Length, and Base registers. Eight additional 32-bit registers
provide pointers for general indexing of variables and stack
locations.
address spaces, 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/performance balance with very fast, low
latency memory as cache or SRAM very close to the processor;
and larger, lower cost, and lower performance memory systems
farther away from the processor. See
Figure 2.

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. Level 2 (L2) memories are other
memories, on-chip or off-chip, that may take multiple processor
cycles to access. At the L1 level, the instruction memory holds
instructions only. The two data memories hold data, and a
dedicated scratch pad data memory stores stack and local variable
information. At the L2 level, there is a single unified memory
space, holding both instructions and data.

O
B
The architecture provides three modes of operation: user mode,
supervisor mode, and Emulation mode. User mode has restricted
access to certain system resources, thus providing a protected
software environment, while supervisor mode has unrestricted
access to the system and core resources.
The Blackfin processor instruction set has been optimized so that
16-bit op-codes represent the most frequently used instructions,
resulting in excellent compiled code density. Complex DSP
instructions are encoded into 32-bit op-codes, representing fully
featured multifunction instructions. Blackfin processors support
a limited multiple issue capability, where a 32-bit instruction 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.
The Blackfin processor assembly language uses an algebraic
syntax 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.

The L1 memory system is the primary highest performance
memory available to the Blackfin processor core. The L2 memory
provides additional capacity with slightly lower performance.
Lastly, the off-chip memory system, accessed through the
External Bus Interface Unit (EBIU), provides expansion with
SDRAM, flash memory, and SRAM, optionally accessing more
than 768M bytes of external physical memory.
The memory DMA controller provides high bandwidth data-
movement capability. It can perform block transfers of code or
data between the internal L1/L2 memories and the external
memory spaces (including PCI memory space).
Internal (On-Chip) Memory
64 Mbyte segment regardless of the size of the devices used so
that these banks will only be contiguous if fully populated with
64M bytes of memory.
PCI
The PCI bus defines three separate address spaces, which are
accessed through windows in the ADSP-BF535 Blackfin
processor memory space. These spaces are PCI memory, PCI
I/O, and PCI configuration.
In addition, the PCI interface can either be used as a bridge from
the processor core as the controlling CPU in the system, or as a
host port where another CPU in the system is the host and the
ADSP-BF535 is functioning as an intelligent I/O device on the
PCI bus.
When the ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor acts as the system
controller, it views the PCI address spaces through its mapped
windows and can initialize all devices in the system and maintain
a map of the topology of the environment.
The PCI memory region is a 4 Gbyte space that appears on the
PCI bus and can be used to map memory I/O devices on the bus.
The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor uses a 128 Mbyte window
in memory space to see a portion of the PCI memory space. A
base address register is provided to position this window
anywhere in the 4 Gbyte PCI memory space while its position
with respect to the processor addresses remains fixed.
The PCI I/O region is also a 4 Gbyte space. However, most
systems and I/O devices only use a 64 Kbyte subset of this space
for I/O mapped addresses. The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor
implements a 64K byte window into this space along with a base
address register which can be used to position it anywhere in the
PCI I/O address space, while the window remains at the same
address in the processor's address space.
PCI configuration space is a limited address space, which is used
for system enumeration and initialization. This address space is
a very low performance communication mode between the
processor and PCI devices. The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin
processor provides a one-value window to access a single data
value at any address in PCI configuration space. This window is
fixed and receives the address of the value, and the value if the
operation is a write. Otherwise, the device returns the value into
the same address on a read operation.
I/O Memory Space
The first is the L1 instruction memory consisting of 16K bytes
of 4-Way set-associative cache memory. In addition, the memory
may be configured as an SRAM. This memory is accessed at full
processor speed.
The second on-chip memory block is the L1 data memory, con-
sisting of two banks of 16K bytes each. Each L1 data memory
bank can be configured as one Way of a 2-Way set-associative
cache or as an SRAM, and is accessed at full speed by the core.
The third memory block is a 4K byte scratch pad RAM which
runs at the same speed as the L1 memories, but is only accessible
as data SRAM (it cannot be configured as cache memory and is
not accessible via DMA).
The fourth on-chip memory system is the L2 SRAM memory
array which provides 256K bytes of high speed SRAM at the full
bandwidth of the core, and slightly longer latency than the L1
memory banks. The L2 memory is a unified instruction and data
memory and can hold any mixture of code and data required by
the system design.
The Blackfin processor core has a dedicated low latency 64-bit
wide datapath port into the L2 SRAM memory.
External (Off-Chip) Memory
O
B
REV. A
External memory is accessed via the External Bus Interface Unit
(EBIU). This interface provides a glueless connection to up to
four banks 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 PC133 compliant SDRAM controller can be programmed
to interface to up to four banks of SDRAM, with each bank
containing between 16M bytes and 128M bytes providing access
to up to 512M bytes of SDRAM. Each bank is independently
programmable and is contiguous with adjacent banks regardless
of the sizes of the different banks or their placement. This allows
flexible configuration and upgradability of system memory while
allowing the core to view all SDRAM as a single, contiguous,
physical address space.
The asynchronous memory controller can also 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

The ADSP-BF535 Blackfin processor has four blocks of on-chip
memory providing high bandwidth access to the core.
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
memory-mapped registers (MMRs) at addresses near the top of
the 4 Gbyte 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
core MMRs are accessible only by the core and only in supervisor
mode and appear as reserved space by on-chip peripherals, as
well as external devices accessing resources through the PCI bus.
The system MMRs are accessible by the core in supervisor mode
and can be mapped as either visible or reserved to other devices,
depending on the system protection model desired.
