LSI402ZX Digital Signal Processor
ZSP Architecture Performance with High-End Integration
Overview
The LSI402ZX is a high-performance 16-bit fixed-point digital signal processor
(DSP) based on the ZSP
TM
Architecture. This device has been designed for
applications that require high data throughput capability coupled with high-speed
I/O, such as communications infrastructure equipment, and offers enhanced I/O
capabilities and large on-chip memory. The LSI402ZX is capable of a maximum
clock rate of 200 MHz for 800 MIPS peak performance and sustained effective
throughput of 400 MMACs.
Memory
The internal memory structure of the LSI402ZX comprises 62K words of data
RAM, 62K words of instruction RAM, 2K words of boot ROM, and 2K words of
data space dedicated to memory-mapped registers and external peripherals. The
boot ROM contains several routines, including internal self-test, and boot-loader
routines. The Memory Interface Unit (MIU) provides a glueless interface to
industry-standard 32-bit synchronous-burst SRAMs (SBSRAMs), and 16-bit
asynchronous SRAMs and ROM devices. The total address range of the MIU is
20 bits, organized as sixteen 64K word pages which are selected by a software-
controlled page register.

LSI402ZX Digital Signal Processor
DMA
The DMA controller of the LSI402ZX can support up to eight individual channels,
where all channels can access the entire 64K word data RAM and 64K word instruc-
tion RAM. Either instructions or data can be transferred to or from the internal
memory space from the MIU, HPI, or either serial port. The eight DMA channels
are segmented into four “indexed” and four “non-indexed” channels. Indexed
channels have the ability to interleave data from either of the serial TDM
interfaces. Non-indexed channels perform sequential accesses to or from
internal memory.
Timers
The LSI402ZX has two identical 16-bit on-board timers for real-time interrupt
generation. Each timer is fully programmable, and has a 6-bit pre-scaler and interrupt
capability. The timers can automatically reload with the initial count so that periodic
interrupts can be generated.
TDM Serial Ports
The LSI402ZX provides two identical synchronous serial ports that support 8- or
16-bit active or passive transfers, which can be either burst or continuous, with a
maximum active mode transfer rate of 100 Mbps (with a 200 MHz processor
clock). In passive mode, the maximum transfer rate is 200 Mbps. Both serial ports
provide the programmable feature of a TDM (time division multiplex) mode that
is compatible with T1/E1 framers or the local serial bus of H.100/ H.110 interface
devices. The TDM mode can also be used to establish a serial multiprocessor
communication link with only three signals.
Host Processor Interface (HPI)
The Host Processor Interface, or HPI, is an asynchronous 16-bit parallel port that
is compatible with both Motorola and Intel style interfaces, and supports word
(16-bit) and byte (8-bit) transfers. The maximum transfer rate for the HPI is half
of the processor clock frequency (100M words per second given a processor oper-
ating frequency of 200 MHz).
Development Tools
The ZSP Processor family is fully supported by a GNU-based compiler, linker and
assembler, available for Windows 95/98/NT and Solaris 2 platforms. The ZSP
Architecture enables the C compiler to produce code unrivaled in code density and
execution speed by any DSP in its class, offering fast time to market with optimal per-
formance and cost. An integrated debug environment is available for PC platforms.
