Product details
Overview
ADSP-21061LKS-176 from Analog Devices is a 3.3 V, 50 MHz SHARC floating-point DSP microcomputer with dual-ported 1 Mbit SRAM, two synchronous serial ports (up to 50 Mbps each), and integrated host interface and six-channel DMA. It executes instructions in single cycles at 50 MIPS and delivers 80 MFLOPS sustained performance for real-time signal processing in communications infrastructure and medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-21061LKS-176 datasheet, ADSP-21061LKS-176 pinout, ADSP-21061LKS-176 application, or ADSP-21061LKS-176 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3 V core voltage, 240-lead MQFP thermally enhanced package, IEEE 754 32-bit/40-bit floating-point support, dual-DAG hardware circular buffering, and glueless multiprocessing capability for up to six nodes.
Technical Context
The ADSP-21061LKS-176 implements the Super Harvard Architecture with four independent buses enabling simultaneous instruction fetch, dual data fetch, and nonintrusive I/O. Its computation units-ALU, multiplier, and shifter-execute parallel single-cycle operations supporting IEEE 32-bit single-precision, 40-bit extended-precision, and 32-bit fixed-point formats.
It features dual data address generators (DAG1/DAG2) with hardware modulo and bit-reverse addressing for efficient circular buffer management, and an on-chip instruction cache that enables three-bus operation without stalling during looped FFT or FIR execution. The processor supports zero-overhead looping and JTAG 1149.1 test access for emulation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar floating-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-21062LKSZ-176 | Same 3.3 V, 50 MHz SHARC core but includes link port interface and 16-column memory banks (vs. 8-column on ADSP-21061LKS-176) | Required for systems needing high-speed chip-to-chip interconnect; not suitable where link port pins conflict with board layout | Select only if link port functionality is mandatory; otherwise ADSP-21061LKS-176 offers identical compute and lower pin count |
| TMS320C6713BZDP300 | TI C67x VLIW DSP at 300 MHz; fixed/floating-point; lacks dual-ported SRAM and native multiprocessing arbitration | Suitable for high-MIPS scalar workloads but requires external logic for multiprocessor coherence and adds latency for memory-bound FFTs | Choose when migrating legacy C67x code; avoid if glueless multiprocessing or low-latency SRAM access is critical |
Compared with ADSP-21062LKSZ-176, ADSP-21061LKS-176 removes link port pins to simplify routing and reduce cost while retaining identical floating-point performance and multiprocessing capability. Against TMS320C6713BZDP300, ADSP-21061LKS-176 provides deterministic latency via dual-ported SRAM and on-chip arbitration-critical for real-time beamforming and radar pulse processing.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage specification for the ADSP-21061LKS-176?
The ADSP-21061LKS-176 operates at a nominal 3.3 V core supply voltage, distinguishing it from the 5 V ADSP-21061 variant. This lower voltage reduces internal power dissipation while maintaining full 50 MHz operation and pin compatibility with other ADSP-21061L models. The device also supports 3.3 V I/O signaling levels, eliminating level-shifting requirements in modern low-voltage system designs.
Does the ADSP-21061LKS-176 support IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic?
Yes, the ADSP-21061LKS-176 natively supports IEEE 754 32-bit single-precision floating-point arithmetic and extends this with 40-bit extended-precision format for improved numerical stability in iterative algorithms. Its ALU, multiplier, and shifter execute all floating-point operations in single cycles, delivering 80 MFLOPS sustained performance-critical for maintaining accuracy in medical imaging reconstruction and radar Doppler processing.
How many serial ports does the ADSP-21061LKS-176 include, and what are their capabilities?
The ADSP-21061LKS-176 integrates two fully independent synchronous serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1), each supporting full-duplex operation at up to 50 Mbps. Each port offers TDM multichannel mode, programmable word length (3–32 bits), selectable synchronization modes, μ-law/A-law companding, and keyword/key mask features for interprocessor messaging. Serial data transfers can be fully automated via dedicated DMA channels.
Is the ADSP-21061LKS-176 pin-compatible with other SHARC processors?
Yes, the ADSP-21061LKS-176 is pin-compatible with the ADSP-21060 and ADSP-21062 in the same 240-lead MQFP package. However, link port pins present on those devices are designated as no-connects on the ADSP-21061LKS-176. Memory organization differs (8-column vs. 16-column banks), and certain DMA and SPORT features-including 2-D DMA-are not implemented on the ADSP-21061LKS-176.
What development tools are supported for the ADSP-21061LKS-176?
Analog Devices officially supports the ADSP-21061LKS-176 with VisualDSP++ and CrossCore Embedded Studio IDEs, both offering C/C++ compilation, JTAG-based debugging, and real-time profiling. Hardware tools include EZ-KIT Lite evaluation boards, EZ-Extender daughter cards for audio/video I/O, and ICE-100B/ICE-200 emulators leveraging the on-chip JTAG 1149.1 interface for non-intrusive in-circuit emulation.
