Product details
Overview
ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit fixed-point DSP microcomputer with 16K words (24-bit) on-chip program RAM, 16K words (16-bit) data RAM, 12.5 ns instruction cycle time at 1.8 V, and dual serial ports (SPORT0/SPORT1) supporting A-law/μ-law companding per CCITT G.711 - used in real-time audio codecs and telecom endpoint signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 datasheet, ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 pinout, ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 application, or ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip memory configuration, 100-lead LQFP package compatibility, 80 MIPS sustained performance, low-power idle/slow-idle/power-down modes, and ICE-Port™ debug interface support in final systems.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 implements the ADSP-2100 base architecture with three independent computational units (ALU, MAC, shifter), two dedicated DAGs for simultaneous dual-operand fetches, and a zero-overhead program sequencer enabling looped code execution without explicit jump instructions. Its 3-bus architecture supports concurrent instruction fetch, operand load, and result writeback.
It integrates flexible I/O supporting 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V operation, 16-bit internal DMA port for high-speed on-chip memory access, byte DMA port addressing up to 4 MB external memory, and programmable wait-state generation for glueless interfacing with slow peripherals or EPROM boot sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instruction Cycle Time | 12.5 ns @ 1.8 V core - enables 80 MIPS sustained throughput for real-time FIR/IIR filtering. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sustained processing performance of the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320?
The ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 delivers 80 MIPS sustained performance at 12.5 ns instruction cycle time. This is achieved through single-cycle instruction execution, dual-operand fetch capability, and parallel operation of its ALU, MAC, and shifter units - all confirmed in the Analog Devices ADSP-218xN Rev. A datasheet Section "PERFORMANCE FEATURES". The 80 MIPS rating applies under 1.8 V core supply conditions with full utilization of the 3-bus architecture.
Does the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 support hardware-based audio companding?
Yes, the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 supports A-law and μ-law companding in hardware via its two serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1), as specified in the ADSP-218xN Rev. A datasheet Section "Serial Ports". This allows direct G.711-compliant voice encoding/decoding without external codec ICs - reducing BOM count and board space in telephony endpoints.
What package type and pin count does the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 use?
The ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 uses a 100-lead LQFP package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad, as documented in the ADSP-218xN Rev. A datasheet Page 40 ("LQFP Package Pinout"). It is pin-compatible with other ADSP-218xN family members including ADSP-2184N, ADSP-2186N, and ADSP-2189N in the same LQFP variant.

Yes, the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 supports automatic booting from byte-wide external memory (e.g., EPROM) using its Byte DMA (BDMA) port. As described in the ADSP-218xN Rev. A datasheet Section "GENERAL DESCRIPTION", it loads the first 32 program memory words during reset and begins execution - enabling standalone operation without host intervention.
What debug interface does the ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 provide for in-system development?
The ADSP-2185NKSTZ-320 features the ICE-Port™ emulator interface, which supports non-intrusive debugging, real-time breakpoint insertion, and memory inspection in fully powered, operational systems - as stated in the ADSP-218xN Rev.
