ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 proces-
sors are members of the Blackfin family of products,
incorporating the Analog Devices/Intel Micro Signal Architec-
ture (MSA). Blackfin processors combine a dual-MAC state-of-
the-art signal processing engine, the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal RISC-like microprocessor instruction set, and sin-
gle-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities
into a single instruction-set architecture.
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 proces-
sors are completely code compatible with other Blackfin
processors. The ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors offer perfor-
mance up to 600 MHz. The ADSP-BF522/524/526 processors
offer performance up to 400 MHz and reduced static power
consumption. Differences with respect to peripheral combina-
tions are shown in Table 1.
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.
PORTABLE LOW-POWER ARCHITECTURE
Blackfin processors provide world-class power management
and performance. They are produced with a low power and low
voltage design methodology and feature on-chip dynamic
power management, which is the ability to vary both the voltage
and frequency of operation to significantly lower overall power
consumption. This capability can result in a substantial reduc-
tion in power consumption, compared with just varying the
frequency of operation. This allows longer battery life for
portable appliances.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 proces-
sors are highly integrated system-on-a-chip solutions for the
next generation of embedded network connected applications.
By combining industry-standard interfaces with a high perfor-
mance signal processing core, cost-effective applications can be
developed quickly, without the need for costly external compo-
nents. The system peripherals include an IEEE-compliant 802.3
10/100 Ethernet MAC, a USB 2.0 high speed OTG controller, a
TWI controller, a NAND flash controller, two UART ports, an
SPI port, two serial ports (SPORTs), eight general purpose 32-
bit timers with PWM capability, a core timer, a real-time clock,
a watchdog timer, a Host DMA (HOSTDP) interface, and a par-
allel peripheral interface (PPI).
PROCESSOR PERIPHERALS
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 proces-
sors 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). These Blackfin processors
contain dedicated network communication modules and high
speed serial and parallel ports, an interrupt controller for flexi-
ble management of interrupts from the on-chip peripherals or
external sources, and power management control functions to
tailor the performance and power characteristics of the proces-
sor and system to many application scenarios.
All of the peripherals, except for the general-purpose I/O, TWI,
real-time clock, and timers, are supported by a flexible DMA
structure. There are also separate memory DMA channels dedi-
cated to data transfers between the processor's various memory
spaces, including external SDRAM and asynchronous memory.
Multiple on-chip buses running at up to 133 MHz provide
enough bandwidth to keep the processor core running along
with activity on all of the on-chip and external peripherals.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527 Preliminary Technical Data
The ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors include an on-chip volt-
age regulator in support of the processor’s dynamic power
management capability. The voltage regulator provides a range
of core voltage levels when supplied from V
DDEXT
. The voltage
regulator can be bypassed at the user's discretion.
BLACKFIN PROCESSOR CORE
As shown in Figure 2, 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 computation units
process 8-, 16-, or 32-bit data from the register file.
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.
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 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 2
32
multiply, divide primitives, saturation
and rounding, and sign/exponent detection. The set of video
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.
Also provided are the compare/select and vector search
instructions.
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). If the second ALU is used,
quad 16-bit operations are possible.
The 40-bit shifter can perform shifts and rotates and is used to
support normalization, field extract, and field deposit
instructions.
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

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
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 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.
In addition, multiple L1 memory blocks are provided, offering a
configurable mix of SRAM and cache. The memory manage-
ment unit (MMU) provides memory protection for individual
tasks that may be operating on the core and can protect system
registers from unintended access.
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 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.
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.
MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
The Blackfin processor views 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/performance
balance of some very fast, low-latency on-chip memory as cache
or SRAM, and larger, lower-cost and performance off-chip
memory systems. See Figure 3.
The on-chip L1 memory system is the 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 516M bytes of
physical memory.
The memory DMA controller provides high-bandwidth data-
movement capability. It can perform block transfers of code or
data between the internal memory and the external
memory spaces.
Internal (On-Chip) Memory
The processor has three blocks of on-chip memory providing
high-bandwidth access to the core.
The first block is the L1 instruction memory, consisting of
64K 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 second on-chip memory block is the L1 data memory, con-
sisting of up to two banks of up to 32K bytes each. Each memory
bank is configurable, offering both cache and SRAM functional-
ity. This memory block is accessed at full processor 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.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527 Preliminary Technical Data
External (Off-Chip) Memory
External memory is accessed via the 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 SDRAM controller can be programmed to interface to up
to 128M bytes of SDRAM. A separate row can be open for each
SDRAM internal bank and the SDRAM controller supports up
to 4 internal SDRAM banks, improving overall 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 are only contiguous if each is fully populated
with 1M byte of memory.
NAND Flash Controller (NFC)
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 proces-
sors provide a NAND flash controller (NFC). NAND flash
devices provide high-density, low-cost memory. However,
NAND flash devices also have long random access times, invalid
blocks, and lower reliability over device lifetimes. Because of
this, NAND flash is often used for read-only code storage. In
this case, all DSP code can be stored in NAND flash and then
transferred to a faster memory (such as SDRAM or SRAM)
before execution. Another common use of NAND flash is for
storage of multimedia files or other large data segments. In this
case, a software file system may be used to manage reading and
writing of the NAND flash device. The file system selects mem-
ory segments for storage with the goal of avoiding bad blocks
and equally distributing memory accesses across all address
locations. Hardware features of the NFC include:
Support for page program, page read, and block erase of
NAND flash devices, with accesses aligned to page
boundaries.
Error checking and correction (ECC) hardware that facili-
tates error detection and correction.
A single 8-bit external bus interface for commands,
addresses and data.
Support for SLC (single level cell) NAND flash devices
unlimited in size, with page sizes of 256 and 512 bytes.
Larger page sizes can be supported in software.
Capability of releasing external bus interface pins during
long accesses.
Support for internal bus requests of 16-bits
DMA engine to transfer data between internal memory and
NAND flash device.
One-Time Programmable Memory
The processor has 64K bits of one-time programmable non-vol-
atile memory that can be programmed by the developer only
one time. It includes the array and logic to support read access
and programming. Additionally, its pages can be write
protected.
OTP enables developers to store both public and private data
on-chip. In addition to storing public and private key data for
applications requiring security, it also allows developers to store
completely user-definable data such as customer ID, product
ID, MAC address, etc. Hence generic parts can be shipped
which are then programmed and protected by the developer
within this non-volatile memory.
I/O Memory Space
The processor does 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 processor contains a small on-chip boot kernel, which con-
figures the appropriate peripheral for booting. If the processor is
configured to boot from boot ROM memory space, the proces-
sor starts executing from the on-chip boot ROM. For more
information, see Booting Modes on Page 18.
Event Handling
The event controller on the processor handles all asynchronous
and synchronous events to the processor. The processor pro-
vides event handling that supports both nesting and
prioritization. Nesting allows multiple event service routines to
be active simultaneously. Prioritization ensures that servicing of
a higher-priority event takes precedence over servicing of a
lower-priority event. The controller provides support for five
different types of events:
Emulation – An emulation event causes the processor to
enter emulation mode, allowing command and control of
the processor via the JTAG interface.
RESET – This event resets the processor.
Nonmaskable Interrupt (NMI) – The NMI event can be
generated by the software watchdog timer or by the NMI
input signal to the processor. The NMI event is frequently
used as a power-down indicator to initiate an orderly shut-
down of the system.
Exceptions – Events that occur synchronously to program
flow (in other words, the exception is taken before the
instruction is allowed to complete). Conditions such as
data alignment violations and undefined instructions cause
exceptions.
Interrupts – Events that occur asynchronously to program
flow. They are caused by input signals, timers, and other
peripherals, as well as by an explicit software instruction.
Preliminary Technical Data
Rev. PrE | Page 7 of 72 | August 2008
ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
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 processor is saved on the
supervisor stack.
The processor event controller consists of two stages, the core
event controller (CEC) and the system interrupt controller
(SIC). The core event controller works with the system interrupt
controller to prioritize and control all system events. Conceptu-
ally, interrupts from the peripherals enter into the SIC 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
interrupts (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 Controller (SIC)
The system interrupt controller provides the mapping and rout-
ing of events from the many peripheral interrupt sources to the
prioritized general-purpose interrupt inputs of the CEC.
Although the processor provides a default mapping, the user
can alter the mappings and priorities of interrupt events by writ-
ing the appropriate values into the interrupt assignment
registers (SIC_IARx). Table 3 describes the inputs into the SIC
and the default mappings into the CEC.

Event Control
The processor provides 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 16 bits wide.
CEC interrupt latch register (ILAT) – 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 be writ-
ten only when its corresponding IMASK bit is cleared.
CEC interrupt mask register (IMASK) – Controls the
masking and unmasking of individual events. When a bit is
set in the IMASK register, that event is unmasked and is
processed by the CEC when asserted. A cleared bit in the
IMASK register masks the event, preventing 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-pur-
pose interrupts can be globally enabled and disabled with
the STI and CLI instructions, respectively.)
CEC interrupt pending register (IPEND) – The IPEND
register keeps track of all nested events. A set bit in the
IPEND register indicates the event is currently active or
nested at some level. This register is updated automatically
by the controller but may be read while in supervisor mode.
The SIC allows further control of event processing by providing
three pairs of 32-bit interrupt control and status registers. Each
register contains a bit corresponding to each of the peripheral
interrupt events shown in Table 3 on Page 7.
SIC interrupt mask registers (SIC_IMASKx) – Control the
masking and unmasking of each peripheral interrupt event.
When a bit is set in these registers, that peripheral event is
unmasked and is processed by the system when asserted. A
cleared bit in the register masks the peripheral event, pre-
venting the processor from servicing the event.
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.
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 or in sleep mode when the event is generated.
For more information see Dynamic Power Management on
Page 14.
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 reg-
ister contents are monitored by the SIC as the interrupt
acknowledgement.
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 recognizes and queues 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.
DMA CONTROLLERS
The processor has multiple, independent DMA channels that
support automated data transfers with minimal overhead for
the processor core. DMA transfers can occur between the pro-
cessor's 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 interfaces, including
the SDRAM controller and the asynchronous memory control-
ler. DMA-capable peripherals include the Ethernet MAC, NFC,
HOSTDP, USB, SPORTs, SPI port, UARTs, and PPI. Each indi-
vidual DMA-capable peripheral has at least one dedicated DMA
channel.
The processor DMA controller supports both one-dimensional
(1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) DMA transfers. DMA trans-
fer 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
implementation of interleaved data streams. This feature is
especially useful in video applications where data can be de-
interleaved 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
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
two memory DMA channels provided for transfers between the
various memories of the processor system. This enables trans-
fers of blocks of data between any of the memories—including
external SDRAM, ROM, SRAM, and flash memory—with mini-
mal processor intervention. Memory DMA transfers can be
controlled by a very flexible descriptor-based methodology or
by a standard register-based autobuffer mechanism.
The processor also has an external DMA controller capability
via dual external DMA request pins when used in conjunction
with the external bus interface unit (EBIU). This functionality
can be used when a high speed interface is required for external
FIFOs and high bandwidth communications peripherals such as
USB 2.0. It allows control of the number of data transfers for
memory DMA. The number of transfers per edge is program-
mable. This feature can be programmed to allow memory DMA
to have an increased priority on the external bus relative to the
core.
HOST DMA PORT
The host port interface allows an external host to be a DMA
master to transfer data in and out of the device. The host device
masters the transactions and the Blackfin is the DMA slave.
The host port is enabled through the PAB interface. Once
enabled, the DMA is controlled by the external host, which can
then program the DMA to send/receive data to any valid inter-
nal or external memory location.
The host port interface controller has the following features.
Allows external master to configure DMA read/write data
transfers and read port status.
Uses asynchronous memory protocol for external interface.

Half duplex operation
Little-/big-endian data transfer.
Acknowledge mode allows flow control on host

Interrupt mode guarantees a burst of FIFO depth host
transactions.
REAL-TIME CLOCK
The 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
Blackfin processor. The RTC peripheral has dedicated power
supply pins so that it can remain powered up and clocked even
when the rest of the processor is in a low-power state. The RTC
provides several programmable interrupt options, including
interrupt per second, minute, hour, or day clock ticks, interrupt
on programmable stopwatch countdown, or interrupt at a pro-
grammed alarm time.
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 an 32,768-day counter.
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 processor
from sleep mode upon generation of any RTC wakeup event.
Additionally, an RTC wakeup event can wake up the processor
from deep sleep mode or cause a transition from the hibernate
state.
Connect RTC pins RTXI and RTXO with external components
as shown in Figure 4.
WATCHDOG TIMER
The processor includes a 32-bit timer that can be used to imple-
ment a software watchdog function. 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-purpose interrupt, if the timer
expires before being reset by software. The programmer initial-
izes 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 pro-
grammed 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.
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.
The timer is clocked by the system clock (SCLK), at a maximum
frequency of f
SCLK
.
TIMERS
There are nine general-purpose programmable timer units in
the processors. Eight 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 periods of external events. These
timers can be synchronized to an external clock input to the sev-
eral other associated PF pins, an external clock input to the
PPI_CLK input pin, or to the internal SCLK.
The timer units can be used in conjunction with the two UARTs
to measure the width of the pulses in the data stream to provide
a software auto-baud detect function for the respective serial
channels.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
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.
In addition to the eight general-purpose programmable timers,
a ninth timer is also provided. This extra timer is clocked by the
internal processor clock and is typically used as a system tick
clock for generation of operating system periodic interrupts.
UP/DOWN COUNTER AND THUMBWHEEL
INTERFACE
A 32-bit up/down counter is provided that can sense 2-bit
quadrature or binary codes as typically emitted by industrial
drives or manual thumb wheels. The counter can also operate in
general-purpose up/down count modes. Then, count direction
is either controlled by a level-sensitive input pin or by two edge
detectors.
A third input can provide flexible zero marker support and can
alternatively be used to input the push-button signal of thumb
wheels. All three pins have a programmable debouncing circuit.
An internal signal forwarded to the timer unit enables one timer
to measure the intervals between count events. Boundary regis-
ters enable auto-zero operation or simple system warning by
interrupts when programmable count values are exceeded.
SERIAL PORTS
The processors incorporate two dual-channel synchronous
serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) for serial and multiproces-
sor communications. The SPORTs support the following
features:
•I
2
S capable operation.
Bidirectional operation – Each SPORT has two sets of inde-
pendent transmit and receive pins, enabling eight channels
of I
2
S stereo audio.
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.
Clocking – Each transmit and receive port can either use an
external serial clock or generate its own, in frequencies
ranging from (f
SCLK
/131,070) Hz to (f
SCLK
/2) Hz.
Word length – Each SPORT supports serial data words
from 3 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.
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.
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.
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) PORT
The processors have an SPI-compatible port that enables the
processor to communicate with multiple SPI-compatible
devices.
The SPI interface uses three pins for transferring data: two data
pins (Master Output-Slave Input, MOSI, and Master Input-
Slave Output, MISO) and a clock pin (serial clock, SCK). An SPI
chip select input pin (SPISS) lets other SPI devices select the
processor, and seven SPI chip select output pins (SPISEL7–1) let
the processor select other SPI devices. The SPI select pins are
reconfigured general-purpose I/O pins. Using these pins, the
SPI port provides a full-duplex, synchronous serial interface,
which supports both master/slave modes and multimaster
environments.
The SPI port’s baud rate and clock phase/polarities are pro-
grammable, and it has an integrated DMA channel,
configurable to support transmit or receive data streams. The
SPI’s DMA channel can only service unidirectional accesses at
any given time.
The SPI port’s clock rate is calculated as:
Where the 16-bit SPI_BAUD register contains a value of 2
to 65,535.
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.
UART PORTS
The processors provide two full-duplex universal asynchronous
receiver/transmitter (UART) ports, which are fully compatible
with PC-standard UARTs. Each UART port provides a simpli-
fied UART interface to other peripherals or hosts, supporting
full-duplex, DMA-supported, asynchronous transfers of serial

data. A UART port includes support for five to eight data bits,
one or two stop bits, and none, even, or odd parity. Each UART
port supports two modes of operation:
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.
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. The UART has two dedicated
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 (f
SCLK
/1,048,576) to
(f
SCLK
/16) bits per second.
Supporting data formats from seven to 12 bits per frame.
Both transmit and receive operations can be configured to
generate maskable interrupts to the processor.
The UART port’s clock rate is calculated as:
Where the 16-bit UART_Divisor comes from the UART_DLH
(most significant 8 bits) and UART_DLL (least significant
8 bits) registers.
In conjunction with the general-purpose timer functions, auto-
baud detection is supported.
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.
USB ON-THE-GO DUAL-ROLE DEVICE CONTROLLER
The USB OTG controller provides a low-cost connectivity solu-
tion for consumer mobile devices such as cell phones, digital
still cameras and MP3 players, allowing these devices to transfer
data using a point-to-point USB connection without the need
for a PC host. The USBDRC module can operate in a traditional
USB peripheral-only mode as well as the host mode presented
in the On-The-Go (OTG) supplement to the USB 2.0 Specifica-
tion. In host mode, the USB module supports transfers at high-
speed (480Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps), and low-speed
(1.5Mbps) rates. Peripheral-only mode supports the high- and
full-speed transfer rates.
TWI CONTROLLER INTERFACE
The processors include a two wire interface (TWI) module for
providing a simple exchange method of control data between
multiple devices. The TWI is compatible with the widely used
I
2
C
®
bus standard. The TWI module offers the capabilities of
simultaneous master and slave operation, support for both 7-bit
addressing and multimedia data arbitration. The TWI interface
utilizes two pins for transferring clock (SCL) and data (SDA)
and supports the protocol at speeds up to 400k bits/sec. The
TWI interface pins are compatible with 5 V logic levels.
Additionally, the TWI module is fully compatible with serial
camera control bus (SCCB) functionality for easier control of
various CMOS camera sensor devices.
10/100 ETHERNET MAC
The ADSP-BF526 and ADSP-BF527 processors offer the capa-
bility to directly connect to a network by way of an embedded
Fast Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) that supports
both 10-BaseT (10M bits/sec) and 100-BaseT (100M bits/sec)
operation. The 10/100 Ethernet MAC peripheral on the proces-
sor is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard and it
provides programmable features designed to minimize supervi-
sion, bus use, or message processing by the rest of the processor
system.
Some standard features are:
Support of MII and RMII protocols for external PHYs.
Full duplex and half duplex modes.
Data framing and encapsulation: generation and detection
of preamble, length padding, and FCS.
Media access management (in half-duplex operation): col-
lision and contention handling, including control of
retransmission of collision frames and of back-off timing.
Flow control (in full-duplex operation): generation and
detection of PAUSE frames.
Station management: generation of MDC/MDIO frames
for read-write access to PHY registers.
SCLK operating range down to 25 MHz (active and sleep
operating modes).
Internal loopback from Tx to Rx.
Some advanced features are:
Buffered crystal output to external PHY for support of a
single crystal system.
Automatic checksum computation of IP header and IP
payload fields of Rx frames.
Independent 32-bit descriptor-driven Rx and Tx DMA
channels.
Frame status delivery to memory via DMA, including
frame completion semaphores, for efficient buffer queue
management in software.
Tx DMA support for separate descriptors for MAC header
and payload to eliminate buffer copy operations.
Convenient frame alignment modes support even 32-bit
alignment of encapsulated Rx or Tx IP packet data in mem-
ory after the 14-byte MAC header.

PORTS
Because of the rich set of peripherals, the processor groups the
many peripheral signals to four ports—Port F, Port G, Port H,
and Port J. Most of the associated pins are shared by multiple
signals. The ports function as multiplexer controls.
General-Purpose I/O (GPIO)
The processor has 48 bidirectional, general-purpose I/O (GPIO)
pins allocated across three separate GPIO modules—PORTFIO,
PORTGIO, and PORTHIO, associated with Port F, Port G, and
Port H, respectively. Port J does not provide GPIO functional-
ity. Each GPIO-capable pin shares functionality with other
processor peripherals via a multiplexing scheme; however, the
GPIO functionality is the default state of the device upon
power-up. Neither GPIO output nor input drivers are active by
default. Each general-purpose port pin can be individually con-
trolled by manipulation of the port control, status, and interrupt
registers:
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 pins to be modified in a single
instruction, without affecting the level of any other GPIO
pins. Four control registers are provided. One register is
written in order to set pin values, one register is written in
order to clear pin values, one register is written in order to
toggle pin values, and one register is written in order to
specify a pin value. Reading the GPIO status register allows
software to interrogate the sense of the pins.
GPIO interrupt mask registers – The two GPIO interrupt
mask registers allow each individual GPIO pin to function
as an interrupt to the processor. Similar to the two GPIO
control registers that are used to set and clear individual
pin values, one GPIO interrupt mask register sets bits to
enable interrupt function, and the other GPIO interrupt
mask register clears bits to disable interrupt function.
GPIO pins defined as inputs can be configured to generate
hardware interrupts, while output pins can be triggered by
software interrupts.
GPIO interrupt sensitivity registers – The two GPIO inter-
rupt sensitivity registers specify whether individual pins are
level- or edge-sensitive and specify—if edge-sensitive—
whether just the rising edge or both the rising 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.
PARALLEL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (PPI)
The processor provides 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 dedicated input clock pin, up to three
frame synchronization pins, and up to 16 data pins. The input
clock supports parallel data rates up to half the system clock rate
and the synchronization signals can be configured as either
inputs or outputs.
The PPI supports a variety of general-purpose and ITU-R 656
modes of operation. In general-purpose mode, the PPI provides
half-duplex, bidirectional data transfer with up to 16 bits of
data. Up to three frame synchronization signals are also pro-
vided. In ITU-R 656 mode, the PPI provides half-duplex
bidirectional 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.
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:
1. Input mode – Frame syncs and data are inputs into the PPI.
2. Frame capture mode – Frame syncs are outputs from the
PPI, but data are inputs.
3. Output mode – Frame syncs and data are outputs from the
PPI.
Input Mode
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

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527 Preliminary Technical Data
user programmable and defined by the contents of the
PPI_COUNT register. The PPI supports 8-bit and 10-bit
through 16-bit data, programmable in the PPI_CONTROL
register.
Frame Capture Mode
Frame capture mode allows the video source(s) to act as a slave
(for frame capture for example). The ADSP-BF522/524/526 and
ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors control when to read from the
video source(s). PPI_FS1 is an HSYNC output and PPI_FS2 is a
VSYNC output.
Output Mode
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.
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:
1. Active video only mode
2. Vertical blanking only mode
3. Entire field mode
Active Video 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
Field 1, the PPI ignores incoming samples until it sees an SAV
code. The user specifies the number of active video lines per
frame (in PPI_COUNT register).
Vertical Blanking Interval Mode
In this mode, the PPI only transfers vertical blanking interval
(VBI) data.
Entire Field Mode
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. Data is transferred to or from the
synchronous channels through eight DMA engines that work
autonomously from the processor core.
CODE SECURITY WITH LOCKBOX SECURE
TECHNOLOGY
A security system consisting of a blend of hardware and soft-
ware provides customers with a flexible and rich set of code
security features with Lockbox secure technology. Key features
include:
OTP memory
Unique chip ID
Code authentication
Secure mode of operation
The security scheme is based upon the concept of authentica-
tion of digital signatures using standards-based algorithms and
provides a secure processing environment in which to execute
code and protect assets. See Lockbox Secure Technology Dis-
claimer on Page 21.
DYNAMIC POWER MANAGEMENT
The processor provides four operating modes, each with a dif-
ferent performance/power profile. In addition, dynamic power
management provides the control functions to dynamically alter
the processor core supply voltage, further reducing power dissi-
pation. When configured for a 0 volt core supply voltage, the
processor enters the hibernate state. Control of clocking to each
of the processor peripherals also reduces power consumption.
See Table 4 for a summary of the power settings for each mode.
Full-On Operating Mode—Maximum Performance
In the full-on mode, the PLL is enabled and is not bypassed,
providing capability for maximum operational frequency. This
is the power-up default execution state in which maximum per-
formance can be achieved. The processor core and all enabled
peripherals run at full speed.
Active Operating Mode—Moderate Dynamic Power
Savings
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. DMA
access is available to appropriately configured
L1 memories.
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.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
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 wakes up the processor.
When in the sleep mode, asserting a wakeup enabled in the
SIC_IWRx registers causes the processor to sense the value of
the BYPASS bit in the PLL control register (PLL_CTL). If
BYPASS is disabled, the processor transitions to the full on
mode. If BYPASS is enabled, the processor transitions to the
active mode.
System DMA access to L1 memory is not supported in
sleep mode.
Deep Sleep Operating Mode—Maximum Dynamic Power
Savings
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 cannot 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 RTC. When in deep
sleep mode, an RTC asynchronous interrupt causes the proces-
sor to transition to the Active mode. Assertion of RESET while
in deep sleep mode causes the processor to transition to the full
on mode.
Hibernate State—Maximum Static Power Savings
The hibernate state maximizes static power savings by disabling
the voltage and clocks to the processor core (CCLK) and to all of
the synchronous peripherals (SCLK). The internal voltage regu-
lator (ADSP-BF523/525/527 only) for the processor can be shut
off by writing b#00 to the FREQ bits of the VR_CTL register.
This setting sets the internal power supply voltage (V
DDINT
) to
0 V to provide the lowest static power dissipation. Any critical
information stored internally (for example, memory contents,
register contents, and other information) must be written to a
non-volatile storage device prior to removing power if the pro-
cessor state is to be preserved. Writing b#00 to the FREQ bits
also causes EXT_WAKE0 and EXT_WAKE1 to transition low,
which can be used to signal an external voltage regulator to shut
down.
Since V
DDEXT
and V
DDMEM
can still be 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 Ethernet or USB modules can wake up the internal supply
regulator (ADSP-BF525 and ADSP-BF527 only) or signal an
external regulator to wake up using EXT_WAKE0 or
EXT_WAKE1. If PG15 does not connect as a PHYINT signal to
an external PHY device, PG15 can be pulled low by any other
device to wake the processor up. The processor can also be
woken up by a real-time clock wakeup event or by asserting the
RESET pin. All hibernate wakeup events initiate the hardware
reset sequence. Individual sources are enabled by the VR_CTL
register. The EXT_WAKEx signals are provided to indicate the
occurrence of wakeup events.
As long as V
DDEXT
is applied, the VR_CTL register maintains its
state during hibernation. All other internal registers and memo-
ries, however, lose their content in the hibernate state. State
variables may be held in external SRAM or SDRAM. The SCK-
ELOW bit in the VR_CTL register controls whether or not
SDRAM operates in self-refresh mode, which allows it to retain
its content while the processor is in hibernate and through the
subsequent reset sequence.
Power Savings
As shown in Table 5, the processor supports six different power
domains, which maximizes flexibility while maintaining com-
pliance with industry standards and conventions. By isolating
the internal logic of the processor into its own power domain,
separate from the RTC and other I/O, the processor can take
advantage of dynamic power management without affecting the
RTC or other I/O devices. There are no sequencing require-
ments for the various power domains, but all domains must be
powered according to the appropriate Specifications table for
processor Operating Conditions; even if the feature/peripheral
is not used.
The dynamic power management feature of the processor
allows both the processor’s input voltage (V
DDINT
) and clock fre-
quency (f
CCLK
) to be dynamically controlled.
The power dissipated by a processor is largely a function of its
clock frequency 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, as shown in the following
equations.

ADSP-BF523/525/527 VOLTAGE REGULATION
The ADSP-BF523/525/527 provides an on-chip voltage regula-
tor that can generate processor core voltage levels from an
external supply. Figure 5 shows the typical external components
required to complete the power management system. The regu-
lator controls the internal logic voltage levels and is
programmable with the voltage regulator control register
(VR_CTL) in increments of 50 mV. To reduce standby power
consumption, the internal voltage regulator can be programmed
to remove power to the processor core while keeping I/O power
supplied. While in the hibernate state, all external supplies
(V
DDEXT
, V
DDMEM
, V
DDUSB
, V
DDOTP
) can still be applied, eliminat-
ing the need for external buffers. V
DDRTC
must be applied at all
times for correct hibernate operation. The voltage regulator can
be activated from this power down state either through an RTC
wakeup, a USB wakeup, an ethernet wakeup, or by asserting the
RESET pin, each of which then initiates a boot sequence. The
regulator can also be disabled and bypassed at the user’s
discretion.
The voltage regulator has two modes set by the VR
SEL
pin—the
normal pulse width control of an external FET and the external
supply mode which can signal a power down during hibernate
to an external regulator. Set VR
SEL
to V
DDEXT
to use an external
regulator or set VR
SEL
to GND to use the internal regulator. In
the external mode VR
OUT
becomes EXT_WAKE1. If the internal
regulator is used, EXT_WAKE0 can control other power
sources in the system during the hibernate state. Both signals
are high-true for power-up and may be connected directly to the
low-true shut down input of many common regulators. The
mode of the SS/PG (Soft Start/Power Good) signal also changes
according to the state of VR
SEL
. When using an internal regula-
tor, the SS/PG pin is Soft Start, and when using an external
regulator, it is Power Good. The Soft Start feature is recom-
mended to reduce the inrush currents and to reduce V
DDINT
voltage overshoot when coming out of hibernate or changing
voltage levels. The Power Good (PG) input signal allows the
processor to start only after the internal voltage has reached a
chosen level. In this way, the startup time of the external regula-
tor is detected after hibernation. For a complete description of
Soft Start and Power Good functionality, refer to the ADSP-
BF52x Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference.
ADSP-BF522/524/526 VOLTAGE REGULATION
The ADSP-BF522/524/526 processor requires an external volt-
age regulator to power the V
DDINT
domain. To reduce standby
power consumption, the external voltage regulator can be sig-
naled through EXT_WAKE0 or EXT_WAKE1 to remove power
from the processor core. These identical signals are high-true
for power-up and may be connected directly to the low-true
shut down input of many common regulators. While in the
hibernate state, all external supplies (V
DDEXT
, V
DDMEM
, V
DDUSB
,
V
DDOTP
) can still be applied, eliminating the need for external
buffers. V
DDRTC
must be applied at all times for correct hibernate
operation. The external voltage regulator can be activated from
this power down state either through an RTC wakeup, a USB
wakeup, an ethernet wakeup, or by asserting the RESET pin,
each of which then initiates a boot sequence. EXT_WAKE0 or
EXT_WAKE1 indicate a wakeup to the external voltage regula-
tor. The Power Good (PG) input signal allows the processor to
start only after the internal voltage has reached a chosen level. In
this way, the startup time of the external regulator is detected
after hibernation. For a complete description of the Power Good
functionality, refer to the ADSP-BF52x Blackfin Processor Hard-
ware Reference.
CLOCK SIGNALS
The 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.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
Alternatively, because the processor includes an on-chip oscilla-
tor circuit, an external crystal may be used. For fundamental
frequency operation, use the circuit shown in Figure 6. A paral-
lel-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
kΩ range. Further parallel resistors are typically not recom-
mended. The two capacitors and the series resistor shown in
Figure 6 fine tune phase and amplitude of the sine frequency.
The capacitor and resistor values shown in Figure 6 are typical
values only. The capacitor values are dependent upon the crystal
manufacturers’ load capacitance recommendations and the PCB
physical layout. The resistor value depends on the drive level
specified by the crystal manufacturer. The user should verify the
customized values based on careful investigations on multiple
devices over temperature range.
A third-overtone crystal can be used for 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 6. A design procedure for third-overtone oper-
ation is discussed in detail in application note (EE-168) Using
Third Overtone Crystals with the ADSP-218x DSP on the Analog
Devices website (www.analog.com)—use site search on
“EE-168.”
The CLKBUF pin is an output pin, which is a buffered version
of the input clock. This pin is particularly useful in Ethernet
applications to limit the number of required clock sources in the
system. In this type of application, a single 25 MHz or 50 MHz
crystal may be applied directly to the processor. The 25 MHz or
50 MHz output of CLKBUF can then be connected to an exter-
nal Ethernet MII or RMII PHY device. If instead of a crystal, an
external oscillator is used at CLKIN, CLKBUF will not have the
40/60 duty cycle required by some devices. The CLKBUF output
is active by default and can be disabled for power savings rea-
sons using the VR_CTL register.
The Blackfin core runs at a different clock rate than the on-chip
peripherals. As shown in Figure 7, 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 programmable 0.5× to 64× multiplication
factor (bounded by specified minimum and maximum VCO
frequencies). The default multiplier is 10×, but it can be modi-
fied by a software instruction sequence.
On-the-fly frequency changes can be effected by simply writing
to the PLL_DIV register. The maximum allowed CCLK and
SCLK rates depend on the applied voltages V
DDINT
, V
DDEXT
, and
V
DDMEM
; the VCO is always permitted to run up to the frequency
specified by the part’s speed grade. The CLKOUT pin reflects
the SCLK frequency to the off-chip world. It is part of the
SDRAM interface, but it functions as a reference signal in other
timing specifications as well. While active by default, it can be
disabled using the EBIU_SDGCTL and EBIU_AMGCTL
registers.
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. Table 6 illustrates typical system clock ratios.
Note that the divisor ratio must be chosen to limit the system
clock frequency to its maximum of f
SCLK
. The SSEL value can be
changed dynamically without any PLL lock latencies by writing
the appropriate values to the PLL divisor register (PLL_DIV).

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 7. This programmable core clock capability is useful for
fast core frequency modifications.
The maximum CCLK frequency not only depends on the part's
speed grade (see Page 72), it also depends on the applied V
DDINT
voltage. See Table 12 and Table 15 for details. The maximal sys-
tem clock rate (SCLK) depends on the chip package and the
applied V
DDINT
, V
DDEXT
, and V
DDMEM
voltages (see Table 14 and
Table 17).
BOOTING MODES
The processor has several mechanisms (listed in Table 8) for
automatically loading internal and external memory after a
reset. The boot mode is defined by four BMODE input pins
dedicated to this purpose. There are two categories of boot
modes. In master boot modes the processor actively loads data
from parallel or serial memories. In slave boot modes the pro-
cessor receives data from external host devices.
The boot modes listed in Table 8 provide a number of mecha-
nisms for automatically loading the processor’s internal and
external memories after a reset. By default, all boot modes use
the slowest meaningful configuration settings. Default settings
can be altered via the initialization code feature at boot time or
by proper OTP programming at pre-boot time. The BMODE
pins of the reset configuration register, sampled during power-
on resets and software-initiated resets, implement the modes
shown in Table 8.
Idle/no boot mode (BMODE = 0x0) — In this mode, the
processor goes into idle. The idle boot mode helps recover
from illegal operating modes, such as when the OTP mem-
ory has been misconfigured.
Boot from 8-bit or 16-bit external flash memory
(BMODE = 0x1) — In this mode, the boot kernel loads the
first block header from address 0x2000 0000, and (depend-
ing on instructions contained in the header) the boot
kernel performs an 8- or 16-bit boot or starts program exe-
cution at the address provided by the header. By default, all
configuration settings are set for the slowest device possible
(3-cycle hold time, 15-cycle R/W access times, 4-cycle
setup).
The ARDY is not enabled by default, but it can be enabled
through OTP programming. Similarly, all interface behav-
ior and timings can be customized through OTP
programming. This includes activation of burst-mode or
page-mode operation. In this mode, all asynchronous
interface signals are enabled at the port muxing level.
Boot from 16-bit asynchronous FIFO (BMODE = 0x2) —
In this mode, the boot kernel starts booting from address
0x2030 0000. Every 16-bit word that the boot kernel has to
read from the FIFO must be requested by placing a low
pulse on the DMAR1 pin.
Boot from serial SPI memory, EEPROM or flash
(BMODE = 0x3) — 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit addressable
devices are supported. The processor uses the PG1 GPIO
pin to select a single SPI EEPROM/flash device and sub-

mits a read command and successive address bytes (0x00)
until a valid 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit addressable device is
detected. Pull-up resistors are required on the SPISEL1 and
MISO pins. By default, a value of 0x85 is written to the
SPI_BAUD register.
Boot from SPI host device (BMODE = 0x4) — The proces-
sor operates in SPI slave mode and is configured to receive
the bytes of the LDR file from an SPI host (master) agent.
The HWAIT signal must be interrogated by the host before
every transmitted byte. A pull-up resistor is required on the
SPISS input. A pull-down on the serial clock (SCK) may
improve signal quality and booting robustness.
•Boot from serial TWI memory, EEPROM/flash
(BMODE = 0x5) — The processor operates in master mode
and selects the TWI slave connected to the TWI with the
unique ID 0xA0.
The processor submits successive read commands to the
memory device starting at internal address 0x0000 and
begins clocking data into the processor. The TWI memory
device should comply with the Philips I
2
C
®
Bus Specifica-
tion version 2.1 and should be able to auto-increment its
internal address counter such that the contents of the
memory device can be read sequentially. By default, a
PRESCALE value of 0xA and a TWI_CLKDIV value of
0x0811 are used. Unless altered by OTP settings, an I
2
C
memory that takes two address bytes is assumed. The
development tools ensure that data booted to memories
that cannot be accessed by the Blackfin core is written to an
intermediate storage location and then copied to the final
destination via memory DMA.
Boot from TWI host (BMODE = 0x6) — The TWI host
selects the slave with the unique ID 0x5F.
The processor replies with an acknowledgement and the
host then downloads the boot stream. The TWI host agent
should comply with the Philips I
2
C Bus Specification
version 2.1. An I
2
C multiplexer can be used to select one
processor at a time when booting multiple processors from
a single TWI.
Boot from UART0 host on Port G (BMODE = 0x7) —
Using an autobaud handshake sequence, a boot-stream for-
matted program is downloaded by the host. The host
selects a bit rate within the UART clocking capabilities.
When performing the autobaud, the UART expects a “@”
(0x40) character (eight bits data, one start bit, one stop bit,
no parity bit) on the UART0RX pin to determine the bit
rate. The UART then replies with an acknowledgement
composed of 4 bytes (0xBF, the value of UART0_DLL, the
value of UART0_DLH, then 0x00). The host can then
download the boot stream. To hold off the host the Blackfin
processor signals the host with the boot host wait
(HWAIT) signal. Therefore, the host must monitor
HWAIT before every transmitted byte.
Boot from UART1 host on Port F (BMODE = 0x8). Same
as BMODE = 0x7 except that the UART1 port is used.
Boot from SDRAM (BMODE = 0xA) This is a warm boot
scenario, where the boot kernel starts booting from address
0x0000 0010. The SDRAM is expected to contain a valid
boot stream and the SDRAM controller must be configured
by the OTP settings.
Boot from OTP memory (BMODE = 0xB) — This provides
a stand-alone booting method. The boot stream is loaded
from on-chip OTP memory. By default, the boot stream is
expected to start from OTP page 0x40 and can occupy all
public OTP memory up to page 0xDF. This is 2560 bytes.
Since the start page is programmable, the maximum size of
the boot stream can be extended to 3072 bytes.
Boot from 8-bit external NAND flash memory (BMODE =
0xC and BMODE = 0xD) — In this mode, auto detection of
the NAND flash device is performed.
BMODE = 0xC, the processor configures PORTF GPIO
pins PF7:0 for the NAND data pins and PORTH pins
PH15:10 for the NAND control signals.
BMODE = 0xD, the processor configures PORTH GPIO
pins PH7:0 for the NAND data pins and PORTH pins
PH15:10 for the NAND control signals.
For correct device operation pull-up resistors are required
on both ND_CE (PH10) and ND_BUSY (PH13) signals. By
default, a value of 0x0033 is written to the NFC_CTL regis-
ter. The booting procedure always starts by booting from
byte 0 of block 0 of the NAND flash device.

NAND flash boot supports the following features:
Device Auto Detection
—Error Detection & Correction for maximum reliability
No boot stream size limitation
Peripheral DMA providing efficient transfer of all data
(excluding the ECC parity data)
Software-configurable boot mode for booting from
boot streams spanning multiple blocks, including bad
blocks
Software-configurable boot mode for booting from
multiple copies of the boot stream, allowing for han-
dling of bad blocks and uncorrectable errors
Configurable timing via OTP memory
Small page NAND flash devices must have a 512-byte page
size, 32 pages per block, a 16-byte spare area size, and a bus
configuration of 8 bits. By default, all read requests from
the NAND flash are followed by four address cycles. If the
NAND flash device requires only three address cycles, the
device must be capable of ignoring the additional address
cycles.
The small page NAND flash device must comply with the
following command set:
—Reset: 0xFF
Read lower half of page: 0x00
Read upper half of page: 0x01
Read spare area: 0x50
For large-page NAND-flash devices, the four-byte elec-
tronic signature is read in order to configure the kernel for
booting, which allows support for multiple large-page
devices. The fourth byte of the electronic signature must
comply with the specification in Table 9.
Any NAND flash array configuration from Table 9, exclud-
ing 16-bit devices, that also complies with the command set
listed below are directly supported by the boot kernel.
There are no restrictions on the page size or block size as
imposed by the small-page boot kernel.
For devices consisting of a five-byte signature, only four are
read. The fourth must comply as outlined above.
Large page devices must support the following command
set:
—Reset: 0xFF
Read Electronic Signature: 0x90
Read: 0x00, 0x30 (confirm command)
Large-page devices must not support or react to NAND
flash command 0x50. This is a small-page NAND flash
command used for device auto detection.
By default, the boot kernel will always issue five address
cycles; therefore, if a large page device requires only four
cycles, the device must be capable of ignoring the addi-
tional address cycles.
Boot from 16-Bit Host DMA (BMODE = 0xE) — In this
mode, the host DMA port is configured in 16-bit Acknowl-
edge mode, with little endian data formatting. Unlike other
modes, the host is responsible for interpreting the boot
stream. It writes data blocks individually into the Host
DMA port. Before configuring the DMA settings for each
block, the host may either poll the ALLOW_CONFIG bit in
HOST_STATUS or wait to be interrupted by the HWAIT
signal. When using HWAIT, the host must still check
ALLOW_CONFIG at least once before beginning to con-
figure the Host DMA Port. After completing the
configuration, the host is required to poll the READY bit in
HOST_STATUS before beginning to transfer data. When
the host sends an HIRQ control command, the boot kernel
issues a CALL instruction to address 0xFFA0 0000. It is the
host's responsibility to ensure that valid code has been
placed at this address. The routine at 0xFFA0 0000 can be a
simple initialization routine to configure internal
resources, such as the SDRAM controller, which then
returns using an RTS instruction. The routine may also by
the final application, which will never return to the boot
kernel.
Boot from 8-Bit Host DMA (BMODE = 0xF) — In this
mode, the Host DMA port is configured in 8-bit interrupt
mode, with little endian data formatting. Unlike other
modes, the host is responsible for interpreting the boot
stream. It writes data blocks individually into the Host
DMA port. Before configuring the DMA settings for each
block, the host may either poll the ALLOW_CONFIG bit in
HOST_STATUS or wait to be interrupted by the HWAIT
signal. When using HWAIT, the host must still check
ALLOW_CONFIG at least once before beginning to con-
figure the Host DMA Port. The host will receive an
interrupt from the HOST_ACK signal every time it is
allowed to send the next FIFO depths worth (sixteen 32-bit
words) of information. When the host sends an HIRQ con-
trol command, the boot kernel issues a CALL instruction to
address 0xFFA0 0000. It is the host's responsibility to
ensure valid code has been placed at this address. The rou-
tine at 0xFFA0 0000 can be a simple initialization routine
to configure internal resources, such as the SDRAM con-
troller, which then returns using an RTS instruction. The
routine may also by the final application, which will never
return to the boot kernel.
For each of the boot modes, a 16-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 address stored in the EVT1 register.
Prior to booting, the pre-boot routine interrogates the OTP
memory. Individual boot modes can be customized or even dis-
abled based on OTP programming. External hardware,
especially booting hosts, may watch the HWAIT signal to deter-
mine when the pre-boot has finished and the boot kernel starts
the boot process. By programming OTP memory, the user can

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527
also instruct the pre-boot routine to customize the PLL, Internal
Voltage Regulator (ADSP-BF523/525/527 only), SDRAM Con-
troller, and Asynchronous Memory Controller.
The boot kernel differentiates between a regular hardware reset
and a wakeup-from-hibernate event to speed up booting in the
later case. Bits 6-4 in the system reset configuration (SYSCR)
register can be used to bypass the pre-boot routine and/or boot
kernel in case of a software reset. They can also be used to simu-
late a wakeup-from-hibernate boot in the software reset case.
The boot process can be further customized by “initialization
code. This is a piece of code that is loaded and executed prior to
the regular application boot. Typically, this is used to configure
the SDRAM controller or to speed up booting by managing the
PLL, clock frequencies, wait states, or serial bit rates.
The boot ROM also features C-callable function that can be
called by the user application at run time. This enables second-
stage boot or boot management schemes to be implemented
with ease.
INSTRUCTION SET DESCRIPTION
The Blackfin processor family assembly language instruction set
employs an algebraic syntax designed for ease of coding and
readability. The instructions have been specifically tuned to pro-
vide a flexible, densely encoded instruction set that compiles to
a very small final memory size. The instruction set also provides
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.
The assembly language, which takes advantage of the proces-
sor’s unique architecture, offers the following advantages:
Seamlessly integrated DSP/MCU features are optimized for
both 8-bit and 16-bit operations.
A multi-issue load/store modified-Harvard architecture,
which supports two 16-bit MAC or four 8-bit ALU + two
load/store + two pointer updates per cycle.
All registers, I/O, and memory are mapped into a unified
4G byte memory space, providing a simplified program-
ming model.
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.
Code density enhancements, which include intermixing of
16-bit and 32-bit instructions (no mode switching, no code
segregation). Frequently used instructions are encoded
in 16 bits.
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
The processor is supported with a complete set of
CROSSCORE® software and hardware development tools,
including Analog Devices emulators and VisualDSP++® devel-
opment environment. The same emulator hardware that
supports other Blackfin processors also fully emulates the
ADSP-BF522/524/526 and ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors.
EZ-KIT Lite® Evaluation Board
For evaluation of ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors, use the
ADSP-BF527 EZ-KIT Lite board available from Analog Devices.
Order part number ADZS-BF527-EZLITE. The board comes
with on-chip emulation capabilities and is equipped to enable
software development. Multiple daughter cards are available.
An ADSP-BF526 EZ-KIT Lite board is under development.
DESIGNING AN EMULATOR-COMPATIBLE
PROCESSOR BOARD (TARGET)
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every sys-
tem developer needs in order 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 pro-
cessor, allowing the developer to load code, set breakpoints,
observe variables, observe memory, and examine registers. The
processor must be halted to send data and commands, but once
an 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 (EE-68) Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical
Reference on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)—
use site search on “EE-68.” This document is updated regularly
to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
Signal definitions for the ADSP-BF522/524/526 and
ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors are listed in Table 10. In order
to maintain maximum function and reduce package size and
ball count, some balls have dual, multiplexed functions. In cases
where ball function is reconfigurable, the default state is shown
in plain text, while the alternate function is shown in italics.
All pins are three-stated during and immediately after reset,
with the exception of the external memory interface, asynchro-
nous and synchronous memory control, and the buffered XTAL
output pin (CLKBUF). On the external memory interface, the
control and address lines are driven high, with the exception of
CLKOUT, which toggles at the system clock rate. If, however,
the BR pin is asserted, then the memory pins are also three-
stated.
All I/O pins have their input buffers disabled with the exception
of the pins that need pull-ups or pull-downs, as noted in
Table 10.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527 Preliminary Technical Data
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses greater than those listed in the table may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only.
Functional operation of the device at these or any other condi-
tions greater than those indicated in the operational sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
When programming OTP memory on the ADSP-
BF522/524/526 processors, the VPPOTP ball must be set to the
write value specified in the Operating Conditions for ADSP-
BF522/524/526 on Page 27. There is a finite amount of cumula-
tive time that the write voltage may be applied (dependent on
voltage and junction temperature) to VPPOTP over the lifetime
of the part. Therefore, maximum OTP memory programming
time for the ADSP-BF522/524/526 processors is shown in
Table 19. The ADSP-BF523/525/527 processors do not have a
similar restriction.

without detection. Although this product features
patented or proprietary circuitry, damage may occur
on devices subjected to high energy ESD. Therefore,
proper ESD precautions should be taken to avoid
performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter
(UART) Ports—Receive and Transmit Timing
Figure 27 describes the UART ports receive and transmit opera-
tions. The maximum baud rate is SCLK/16. There is some
latency between the generation of internal UART interrupts
and the external data operations. These latencies are negligible
at the data transmission rates for the UART.

ADSP-BF522/523/524/525/526/527 Preliminary Technical Data
POWER DISSIPATION
Total power dissipation has two components: one due to inter-
nal circuitry (P
INT
) and one due to the switching of external
output drivers (P
EXT
).
See the ADSP-BF52x Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference
Manual for definitions of the various operating modes and for
instructions on how to minimize system power.
Power dissipation specifications for the ADSP-
BF522/523/524/525/526/527 processors are TBD.
TEST CONDITIONS
All timing parameters appearing in this data sheet were mea-
sured under the conditions described in this section. Figure 53
shows the measurement point for AC measurements (except
output enable/disable). The measurement point V
MEAS
is V
DDEXT
/2
or V
DDMEM
/2 for V
DDEXT
/V
DDMEM
(nominal) = 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V.
Output Enable Time Measurement
Output balls are considered to be enabled when they have made
a transition from a high impedance state to the point when they
start driving.
The output enable time t
ENA
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
Figure 55.
The time t
ENA
_
MEASURED
is the interval, from when the reference sig-
nal switches, to when the output voltage reaches V
TRIP
(high) or
V
TRIP
(low). V
TRIP
(high) is 2.0 V and V
TRIP
(low) is 1.0 V for
V
DDEXT
/V
DDMEM
(nominal) = 2.5 V/3.3 V. Time t
TRIP
is the interval
from when the output starts driving to when the output reaches
the V
TRIP
(high) or V
TRIP
(low) trip voltage.
Time t
ENA
is calculated as shown in the equation:
If multiple balls (such as the data bus) are enabled, the measure-
ment value is that of the first ball to start driving.
Output Disable Time Measurement
Output balls 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 t
DIS
is the
difference between t
DIS
_
MEASURED
and t
DECAY
as shown on the left side
of Figure 55.
The time for the voltage on the bus to decay by ΔV is dependent
on the capacitive load C
L
and the load current I
L
. This decay time
can be approximated by the equation:
The time t
DECAY
is calculated with test loads C
L
and I
L
, and with
ΔV equal to 0.5 V for V
DDEXT
/V
DDMEM
(nominal) = 2.5 V/3.3 V.
The time t
DIS
_
MEASURED
is the interval from when the reference sig-
nal switches, to when the output voltage decays ΔV from the
measured output high or output low voltage.

Example System Hold Time Calculation
To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,
first calculate t
DECAY
using the equation given above. Choose ΔV
to be the difference between the processor’s output voltage and
the input threshold for the device requiring the hold time. C
L
is
the total bus capacitance (per data line), and I
L
is the total leak-
age or three-state current (per data line). The hold time will be
t
DECAY
plus the various output disable times as specified in the
Timing Specifications on Page 33 (for example t
DSDAT
for an
SDRAM write cycle as shown in SDRAM Interface Timing on
Page 39).
Capacitive Loading
Output delays and holds are based on standard capacitive loads
of an average of 6 pF on all balls (see Figure 56). V
LOAD
is equal
to (V
DDEXT
/V
DDMEM
) /2. The graphs of Figure 57 through
Figure 64 show how output rise time varies with capacitance.
The delay and hold specifications given should be derated by a
factor derived from these figures. The graphs in these figures
may not be linear outside the ranges shown.

NOTES:
THE WORST CASE TRANSMISSION LINE DELAY IS SHOWN AND CAN BE USED
FOR THE OUTPUT TIMING ANALYSIS TO REFELECT THE TRANSMISSION LINE
EFFECT AND MUST BE CONSIDERED. THE TRANSMISSION LINE (TD), IS FOR
LOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE DATA SHEET TIMING SPECIFICATIONS.
ANALOG DEVICES RECOMMENDS USING THE IBIS MODEL TIMING FOR A GIVEN
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT. IF NECESSARY, A SYSTEM MAY INCORPORATE
EXTERNAL DRIVERS TO COMPENSATE FOR ANY TIMING DIFFERENCES.
