Product details
Overview
ADSP-2171BST-104 from Analog Devices is a 5.0 V, 30 ns instruction-cycle (33 MIPS) fixed-point DSP microcomputer with three computational units (ALU, MAC, shifter), 2K × 24-bit on-chip program RAM, 2K × 16-bit data RAM, dual serial ports (SPORT0/SPORT1), and an 8-/16-bit host interface port (HIP). It executes single-cycle instructions while concurrently handling serial I/O, timer decrement, and address generation - deployed in real-time audio codecs and telecom channel processing.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2171BST-104 datasheet, ADSP-2171BST-104 pinout, ADSP-2171BST-104 application, or ADSP-2171BST-104 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128-pin TQFP package, 30 ns cycle time at 5.0 V, Bus Grant Hang Logic (BGH), powerdown mode (<0.55 mW standby), and ADSP-2100 family code compatibility with enhanced bit-manipulation and biased rounding instructions.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2171BST-104 implements the ADSP-2100 base architecture with parallel execution across ALU, MAC, and barrel shifter - each fed by dedicated internal buses (PMA, PMD, DMA, DMD, R). Its program sequencer enables zero-overhead looping and conditional execution in one cycle, while two independent DAGs support simultaneous dual-operand fetches with modulo addressing for circular buffers.
It integrates dual synchronous serial ports with hardware A-law/µ-law companding per CCITT G.711, programmable 16-bit interval timer with prescaler, and a fully asynchronous 16-pin HIP configurable for 8- or 16-bit host interfacing. Booting supports automatic loading from byte-wide EPROM or via HIP, with seven wait states on reset to accommodate 200 ns external memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instruction Cycle Time | 30 ns at 5.0 V - enables 33 MIPS sustained throughput with every instruction executing in one processor cycle. |
| On-Chip Program Memory | 2K × 24-bit RAM - stores both instructions and data, allowing dual-operand fetch per cycle (one from program, one from data memory). |
| On-Chip Data Memory | 2K × 16-bit RAM - supports simultaneous dual-operand access with independent DAG-controlled addressing. |
| Serial Ports | Two double-buffered SPORTs - each supports 3–16-bit word lengths, frame sync, internal/external clock, and optional G.711 companding. |
| Host Interface Port | Configurable 8-/16-bit HIP - 16 data/address pins + 11 control signals enable direct connection to 68000, 80C51, or ADSP-2101 hosts. |
| Power Consumption | 300 mW typical at 5.0 V / 30 ns; <0.55 mW in powerdown - enables battery-powered portable DSP systems with 100-cycle wake-up recovery. |
| Interrupt System | 11 total interrupts (3 external IRQs, 8 internal) - IRQ0/IRQ1 configurable on SPORT1 pins; all maskable except powerdown and reset. |
Pinout & Package
ADSP-2171BST-104 is housed in a 128-lead thin quad flat package (TQFP) with 0.4 mm lead pitch, thermally enhanced for embedded signal processing applications requiring compact board layout and reliable thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADDR[13:0] | Address Output | 14-bit multiplexed address bus for program, data, and boot memory spaces. |
| DATA[23:0] | Data I/O | 24-bit bidirectional data bus - inputs only during boot from EPROM; two MSBs serve as boot address bits. |
| SPORT0[4:0] | Serial Port 0 I/O | TFS0/RFS0/DT0/DR0/SCLK0 - full-duplex synchronous interface with hardware companding support. |
| SPORT1[4:0] | Serial Port 1 I/O or IRQ | Configurable: DT1/DR1/TFS1/RFS1/SCLK1 or IRQ0/IRQ1/FO/FI - enables flexible interrupt routing and flag signaling. |
| HIP[15:0] | Host Interface Data/Address | 16-bit multiplexed or separate address/data bus - controlled by HMD1; supports 8-/16-bit host communication. |
| PWD / PWDACK | Power Control | PWD: active-low entry into CMOS standby; PWDACK: open-drain output confirming powerdown state. |
| BR / BG / BGH | Bus Arbitration | BR: request external bus control; BG: grant acknowledgment; BGH: hang logic prevents bus lockup during multi-master arbitration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-Cycle Instruction Execution | Every instruction completes in one 30 ns cycle - including dual data moves, address pointer updates, and ALU/MAC/shifter operations. |
| Zero-Overhead Looping | Hardware loop counters and stacks eliminate branch overhead - critical for tight FIR/IIR filter kernels and FFT butterflies. |
| Bus Grant Hang Logic (BGH) | Prevents system deadlock when external bus master fails to release BR - ensures deterministic bus arbitration in multi-processor systems. |
| Programmable Wait State Generation | Supports slow external memories (e.g., 200 ns EPROM) without glue logic - seven wait states auto-generated on reset. |
| Dual-Purpose Program Memory | 2K × 24-bit RAM stores both code and coefficients - enables dynamic coefficient loading and LUT-based waveform synthesis. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-point DSP microcomputer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-2172BST-104 | Includes 8K × 24-bit on-chip program ROM; otherwise identical architecture, pinout, and timing. | Eliminates need for external boot EPROM - suitable for sealed, field-upgrade-resistant designs. | Select when firmware immutability and reduced BOM count outweigh cost premium. |
| TMS320C549PGE | 16-bit fixed-point DSP with 100 MIPS @ 100 MHz; different instruction set, 144-pin LQFP; no integrated HIP or BGH. | Higher raw throughput but requires external glue logic for host interface and lacks ADSP-2100 code compatibility. | Select only when migrating legacy C54x code or requiring >33 MIPS - not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with ADSP-2171BST-104, ADSP-2172BST-104 adds boot ROM for standalone operation but shares identical power, timing, and peripheral behavior; TMS320C549PGE offers higher speed but demands full hardware and software redesign due to incompatible architecture and missing HIP/BGH features.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage and instruction cycle time for ADSP-2171BST-104?
The ADSP-2171BST-104 operates at 5.0 V nominal supply and achieves a 30 ns instruction cycle time, delivering 33 MIPS performance. This timing is specified under conditions of a 16.67 MHz crystal input and stable 5.0 V rail - confirmed in the ADSP-217x datasheet Rev. A, Features section and General Description.
Does ADSP-2171BST-104 support hardware companding, and if so, which standards?
Yes, ADSP-2171BST-104 supports hardware A-law and µ-law companding per CCITT Recommendation G.711 in both serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1). This is implemented in dedicated companding circuitry within the SPORT blocks, eliminating CPU cycles for real-time voice encoding/decoding - detailed in the Serial Ports section of the datasheet.
Can ADSP-2171BST-104 boot from external memory, and what interfaces are supported?
Yes, ADSP-2171BST-104 supports automatic booting from byte-wide external memory such as 27C64/27C128/27C256/27C512 EPROMs via its data bus, or alternatively through the Host Interface Port (HIP) when BMODE = 1. Boot mode is selected by the BMODE pin, and seven wait states are generated automatically on reset to accommodate 200 ns memory access - per the Boot Circuitry section.
What low-power modes does ADSP-2171BST-104 provide, and what is its standby current?
ADSP-2171BST-104 provides Powerdown, Idle, and Slow Idle modes. In Powerdown mode, it draws less than 0.55 mW (typical) with CMOS standby - corresponding to <100 µA at 5.0 V - and recovers in 100 CLKIN cycles. This is documented in the LOW POWER OPERATION section of the datasheet Rev. A.
Is ADSP-2171BST-104 pin-compatible with other members of the ADSP-217x family?
Yes, ADSP-2171BST-104 is pin-compatible with ADSP-2172BST-104 and ADSP-2173BST-104 in the same 128-pin TQFP package. All share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and timing - differing only in voltage rating (ADSP-2171/2172 = 5.0 V; ADSP-2173 = 3.3 V) and on-chip ROM (ADSP-2172 adds 8K × 24-bit ROM).
