Product details
Overview
ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 from Analog Devices is a 24-bit fixed-point DSP microcomputer optimized for real-time signal processing, featuring 16K × 24-bit on-chip program RAM, 16K × 16-bit data RAM, dual synchronous serial ports (SPORT0/SPORT1), 13.3 ns instruction cycle time at 2.5 V, and full ICE-Port™ emulation support - deployed in audio codecs, telecom line cards, and industrial motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 datasheet, ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 pinout, ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 application, or ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-lead LQFP package, 75 MIPS sustained performance, dual-DAG architecture enabling zero-overhead looping, byte DMA port for EPROM booting, and host/full memory mode flexibility for system integration.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 implements the ADSP-2100 base architecture with three independent computational units (ALU, MAC, shifter), two dedicated data address generators (DAG1/DAG2), and a zero-overhead program sequencer supporting conditional jumps and subroutine calls in one cycle. Its 3-bus internal architecture enables simultaneous dual operand fetches - one from program memory and one from data memory - within every instruction cycle.
It supports two operating modes determined at reset: Full Memory Mode (Mode C = 0) with 14-bit external address bus (A13:A0) and 24-bit bidirectional data bus (D23:D0), or Host Mode (Mode C = 1) using a 16-bit multiplexed IDMA port (IAD15:IAD0) with dedicated control signals (IWR, IRD, IAL, IS, IACK). SPORT0 and SPORT1 are software-configurable for framing, clock source, and companding (A-law/µ-law per G.711).
Key Specifications

| On-Chip Memory | 16K × 24-bit program RAM + 16K × 16-bit data RAM - supports dual-operand fetch and overlay loading via BDMA |
| Serial Interfaces | Dual independent SPORTs (SPORT0/SPORT1) - each with double-buffered Tx/Rx, hardware companding, and frame sync flexibility |

Pinout & Package
ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 is packaged in a 100-lead metric thin plastic quad flatpack (LQFP, ST-100) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are mode-dependent: Full Memory Mode (Mode C = 0) uses A13:A0 and D23:D0 for external memory access; Host Mode (Mode C = 1) repurposes pins for 16-bit IDMA bus (IAD15:IAD0) and control signals (IWR, IRD, IAL, IS, IACK).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET | Asynchronous processor reset input | Active-low signal initializing all registers and forcing boot sequence - sampled only at power-up or assertion |
| A13:A0 | External address output (Full Memory Mode) | 14-bit multiplexed address bus for program/data/byte/I/O spaces - enables 4 MB external memory interface |
| D23:D0 | Bidirectional data bus (Full Memory Mode) | 24-bit data path; upper 8 bits (D23:D16) serve as byte memory address bits in BDMA operations |
| IAD15:IAD0 | IDMA address/data bus (Host Mode) | 16-bit multiplexed bus for high-speed transparent access to on-chip RAM - eliminates glue logic in host-processor systems |
| SPORT0 / SPORT1 | Synchronous serial I/O (5 pins each) | Configurable Tx/Rx clocks, frame sync, and data lines - supports TDM, µ-law/A-law, and UART emulation via software |
| PF7:PF0 | Programmable flag I/O | 13 total flags (8 bidirectional + 3 outputs); PF7–PF4 share IRQ functionality - used for system signaling and status handshake |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-cycle context switch | Enables deterministic real-time interrupt response with no pipeline flush or register save overhead |
| Dual-data address generators (DAG1/DAG2) | Each maintains four post-modified pointers with length registers - supports circular buffers and FFT addressing without CPU intervention |
| Byte DMA controller (BDMA) | Directly addresses up to 4 MB of external byte-wide memory (e.g., EPROM) for booting and program overlays - no external address latching required |
| ICE-Port™ emulator interface | 14-pin dedicated debug port supporting in-circuit emulation, breakpoint setting, and full-speed execution monitoring without target board modification |
| Flexible memory mapping | Composite Memory Select (CMS), Byte Memory Select (BMS), and I/O Memory Select (IOMS) enable "glueless" interfacing to mixed-speed peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DSP microcomputer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-2189MKSTZ-300 | Higher clock speed (75 MHz vs. 75 MIPS effective), identical architecture and pinout, but rated for 3.3 V I/O tolerance only | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with 2.5 V peripherals; lacks byte DMA boot capability in some revisions | Select when higher sustained throughput is needed and system voltage margin allows 3.3 V I/O operation |
| TMS320C549PGE | 16-bit fixed-point DSP with 100 MIPS, different instruction set, no on-chip program RAM, requires external ROM boot | Demands external memory interface design and assembler rework; lacks integrated SPORT companding and ICE-Port | Select when legacy C54x toolchain compatibility is mandatory and external memory cost is acceptable |
Compared with ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300, the ADSP-2189MKSTZ-300 offers higher clock frequency but reduced voltage flexibility, while the TMS320C549PGE requires external boot memory and lacks hardware companding - making ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 optimal for compact, low-voltage, self-booting DSP systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and instruction throughput of the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300?
The ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 operates with a 13.3 ns instruction cycle time at 2.5 V, delivering 75 million instructions per second (MIPS) sustained performance. Every instruction executes in a single cycle, including arithmetic, memory moves, and conditional branches - confirmed in the Analog Devices datasheet Rev. 0, Section "FEATURES" and "GENERAL DESCRIPTION". This throughput is achievable without pipeline stalls due to its 3-bus architecture and dual operand fetch capability.
Does the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 support booting from external memory, and if so, how?
Yes, the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 supports automatic booting from external byte-wide memory (e.g., EPROM) via its Byte DMA (BDMA) port. During reset, it loads the first 16K words of program memory from external byte memory addressed through D23:D16 (upper address bits) and D7:D0 (data), as specified in the "BOOTSTRAP LOADING" section of the datasheet Rev. 0, p.15. This eliminates need for external boot ROM controllers.
What are the key differences between Full Memory Mode and Host Mode on the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300?
Full Memory Mode (Mode C = 0) configures ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 for direct external memory expansion using A13:A0 and D23:D0 buses, supporting 4 MB addressing and I/O memory space. Host Mode (Mode C = 1) repurposes pins for a 16-bit multiplexed IDMA port (IAD15:IAD0) with dedicated control signals (IWR, IRD, IAL), enabling glueless connection to a host processor - both modes are selected at reset and cannot be changed dynamically.
Can the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300's serial ports handle µ-law and A-law companding per G.711?
Yes, both SPORT0 and SPORT1 on the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 include hardware companding circuitry compliant with CCITT Recommendation G.711 for both µ-law and A-law encoding/decoding. This is implemented in the serial port logic and requires no CPU cycles - confirmed in the "Serial Ports" section (p.5) and "FEATURES" list of the datasheet Rev. 0, enabling direct interface to telephony codecs without external compander ICs.
Is the ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 pin-compatible with other ADSP-218x family members?
The ADSP-2185MKSTZ-300 shares the same 100-lead LQFP package footprint and core pin assignments (e.g., RESET, CLKIN, SPORT0/1, PF pins) with ADSP-2181/2185/2189 variants, but functional pin behavior differs in Host Mode due to IDMA signal mapping. While mechanical mounting is identical, software and system-level compatibility require verification - the datasheet confirms shared package outline but notes mode-dependent pin multiplexing per "PIN DESCRIPTIONS" (p.5–8).
