Description
The ZL38015 is a four channel Voice-Processor hardware platform designed to support advanced voice and digital
signal processing applications available from Zarlink Semiconductor. The ZL38015 platform integrates Zarlink’s
Voice Processor (ZVP) DSP Core with a number of internal peripherals including: 2 PCM ports, a 2048 tap Filter
Co-processor, 2 Auxiliary Timers and a Watchdog Timer, 9 GPIO pins, UART, Slave SPI and Master SPI ports and
a master/slave timing block.
The firmware products and manuals available at the release of this data sheet is the ZLS38233: 4 Channel Voice
Echo Cancellor (VEC) with integrated DTMF Transceiver (Tx/Rx). If these applications do not meet your
requirements, please contact your local Zarlink Sales Office for the latest firmware releases.
1.0 Functional Description
The ZL38015 is a hardware platform designed to support advanced voice processing applications available from
Zarlink Semiconductor. These applications are resident in external memory and are down-loaded by the ZL38015
resident boot code during initialization.
The firmware products and manuals available at the release of this data sheet is the ZLS38233: 4 Channel Voice
Echo Cancellor with DTMF Transceiver.
The ZL38015 platform integrates Zarlink’s Voice Processor (ZVP) DSP Core with a number of internal peripherals.
These peripherals include the following:
Two PCM ports - ST BUS, GCI, McBSP or SSI operation
A 2048 tap Filter Co-processor (LMS, FIR and FAP realizations)
Two Auxiliary Timers and a Watchdog Timer
11 GPIO pins
A UART interface
A Slave SPI port and a Master SPI port
A timing block that supports master and slave operation
An IEEE - 1149.1 compatible JTAG port
The DSP Core can process up to four 8-bit voice channels, two 16-bit voice channels or two 8-bit and one 16-bit
voice channel.
