Product details
Overview
ADSP-21060CZ-160 from Analog Devices is a 32-bit floating-point SHARC® digital signal processor with 4 Mbit dual-ported on-chip SRAM, 40 MIPS instruction rate at 40 MHz, and integrated host interface, DMA controller, six link ports, and two serial ports. It serves as the core computational engine in high-performance real-time audio processing systems requiring deterministic low-latency execution.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-21060CZ-160 datasheet, ADSP-21060CZ-160 pinout, ADSP-21060CZ-160 application, or ADSP-21060CZ-160 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip memory size (4 Mbit), operating voltage (5 V), instruction cycle time (25 ns), and support for glueless multiprocessing via link and parallel bus interfaces.
Technical Context
The ADSP-21060CZ-160 implements the Super Harvard Architecture with four independent buses enabling simultaneous dual data fetch, instruction fetch, and nonintrusive I/O. Its core integrates IEEE 32-bit single-precision and 40-bit extended-precision floating-point computation units-multiplier, ALU, and shifter-all executing single-cycle instructions.
Dual data address generators (DAG1/DAG2) provide hardware circular buffering and bit-reverse addressing essential for FFT and filter implementations. The on-chip instruction cache enables three-bus operation (instruction + two operands) per cycle, while the dual-ported SRAM allows concurrent access by core and DMA without contention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the ADSP-21060CZ-160?
The ADSP-21060CZ-160 operates at a maximum instruction rate of 40 MHz, corresponding to a 25 ns instruction cycle time. This frequency is guaranteed under specified 5 V supply and ambient temperature conditions per the ADSP-21060/ADSP-21060L datasheet Rev. H. The device achieves 40 MIPS and 120 MFLOPS peak performance at this clock rate, and all timing parameters-including external memory interface and serial port operation-are validated at 40 MHz.
Does the ADSP-21060CZ-160 support JTAG debugging?
Yes, the ADSP-21060CZ-160 includes full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) support for on-chip emulation. This enables non-intrusive debugging-including breakpoints, register inspection, and real-time trace-via compatible emulators such as the ADZS-ICE-100B. The JTAG interface operates independently of core execution, allowing full-speed program execution after debug initialization without timing impact on the target system.
How much on-chip memory does the ADSP-21060CZ-160 integrate, and what is its architecture?
The ADSP-21060CZ-160 integrates 4 Mbit (512 kwords × 8-bit) of dual-ported SRAM, organized as two independent 2-Mbit blocks. Each block supports simultaneous single-cycle access by the core processor and DMA controller, eliminating memory contention. The memory is configurable for 16-bit, 32-bit, or 48-bit word widths and supports 16-bit floating-point storage mode to effectively double data capacity for coefficient tables and delay lines.
Can the ADSP-21060CZ-160 interface directly with a 32-bit microprocessor host?
Yes, the ADSP-21060CZ-160 features a dedicated host port supporting asynchronous 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessor buses. Using HBR/HBG/REDY handshake signals, the host can directly read/write the ADSP-21060CZ-160's internal SRAM and IOP registers within the unified address space. Four DMA channels are allocated to the host interface, enabling high-throughput code/data transfers with minimal software overhead-ideal for bootloading and runtime parameter updates.
What packaging and thermal characteristics apply to the ADSP-21060CZ-160?
The ADSP-21060CZ-160 is supplied in a 240-lead thermally enhanced MQFP_PQ4 package (28 mm × 28 mm, 0.65 mm lead pitch) with an exposed thermal pad. This RoHS-compliant package provides superior thermal performance for sustained 40 MHz operation, with documented junction-to-board thermal resistance (θJB) of 12°C/W and junction-to-ambient (θJA) of 35°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions-critical for convection-cooled audio and medical equipment enclosures.
