TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
This section contains timing information for the DSP’s
external signals.
General Notes
Use the exact timing information given. Do not attempt to
derive parameters from the addition or subtraction of others.
While addition or subtraction would yield meaningful results
for an individual device, the values given in this data sheet
reflect statistical variations and worst cases. Consequently,
parameters cannot be added up meaningfully to derive
longer times.
Timing Notes
Switching characteristics specify how the processor changes its
signals. Designers have no control over this timing—circuitry
external to the processor must be designed for compatibility
with these signal characteristics. Switching characteristics tell
what the processor will do in a given circumstance. Switching
characteristics can also be used to ensure that any timing
requirement of a device connected to the processor (such as
memory) is satisfied.
Timing requirements apply to signals that are controlled by cir-
cuitry external to the processor, such as the data input for a read
operation. Timing requirements guarantee that the processor
operates correctly with other devices.
Frequency Dependency For Timing Specifications
tCK is defined as 0.5 tCKI. The ADSP-218xN uses an input clock
with a frequency equal to half the instruction rate. For example,
a 40 MHz input clock (which is equivalent to 25 ns) yields a
12.5 ns processor cycle (equivalent to 80 MHz). tCK values
within the range of 0.5 tCKI period should be substituted for all
relevant timing parameters to obtain the specification value.
Example: tCKH = 0.5 tCK – 2 ns = 0.5 (12.5 ns) – 2 ns = 4.25 ns
Output Drive Currents
Figure 21 shows typical I-V characteristics for the output driv-
ers on the ADSP-218xN series.The curves represent the current
drive capability of the output drivers as a function of
output voltage.
Figure 23 shows the typical power-down supply current.
