Product details
Overview
ADSP-21060KS-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 IEEE 754 single-precision/40-bit extended-precision computation. It integrates six link ports, two serial ports, host interface, DMA controller, and JTAG emulation for real-time signal processing in radar beamforming, medical imaging reconstruction, and audio effects engines.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-21060KS-160 datasheet, ADSP-21060KS-160 pinout, ADSP-21060KS-160 application, or ADSP-21060KS-160 equivalent, key selection criteria include sustained 80 MFLOPS performance, glueless multiprocessing support up to six nodes, 240 MBps interprocessor transfer rate, and compatibility with VisualDSP++ and CrossCore Embedded Studio toolchains.
Technical Context
The ADSP-21060KS-160 implements a Super Harvard Architecture with four independent buses enabling simultaneous dual data fetch, instruction fetch, and nonintrusive I/O. Its core features parallel ALU, multiplier, and shifter units executing single-cycle IEEE 32-bit floating-point or 32-bit fixed-point operations.
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-fetching one instruction and two operands per cycle-while sustaining full-speed looped execution without pipeline stalls.

FAQ
What is the maximum sustained floating-point performance of the ADSP-21060KS-160?
The ADSP-21060KS-160 delivers 80 MFLOPS sustained performance under real-world workloads such as 1024-point complex FFT and FIR filtering. This is achieved through its dual-ported SRAM, parallel computation units, and zero-overhead looping - not just peak 120 MFLOPS theoretical capability. The ADSP-21060KS-160 maintains this throughput while executing multiple concurrent tasks including DMA transfers and serial I/O.
Does the ADSP-21060KS-160 support booting from external memory?
Yes, the ADSP-21060KS-160 supports no-boot mode where instruction execution begins directly from external memory. Boot source selection is controlled by BMS, EBOOT, and LBOOT pins - allowing flexible initialization from 8-bit EPROM, host processor, or link port. This enables field-upgradable firmware and modular system architectures where code resides in shared flash or network storage.
How many DMA channels does the ADSP-21060KS-160 provide, and what are their destinations?
The ADSP-21060KS-160 integrates ten dedicated DMA channels: four via the external port (host/multiprocessor/memory), four via serial ports (two per port), and two via link ports. Four additional link-port channels are shared with Serial Port 1 and the external port. All channels operate concurrently with full-speed CPU execution, enabling background data movement between internal SRAM, external memory, peripherals, and interprocessor links without software intervention.
Is the ADSP-21060KS-160 pin-compatible with other SHARC processors in the ADSP-2106x family?
The ADSP-21060KS-160 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with ADSP-21060L, ADSP-21060C, and ADSP-21060LC variants in the 240-lead MQFP_PQ4 package. However, it is not pin-compatible with ADSP-21062-series parts (2 Mbit SRAM) or PBGA-packaged variants like ADSP-21060CZ-160 - those require PCB redesign due to different ball/pin maps and voltage requirements.
What development tools are officially supported for the ADSP-21060KS-160?
Analog Devices officially supports ADSP-21060KS-160 with VisualDSP++ (legacy IDE) and CrossCore Embedded Studio (current-generation Eclipse-based IDE). Both provide C/C++ compilation, JTAG-based debugging, profiler integration, and SHARC-specific libraries. Board Support Packages (BSPs) for EZ-KIT Lite evaluation boards and algorithmic modules for audio/video processing are also validated for ADSP-21060KS-160.
