Product details
Overview
ADSP-2187LKST-210 from Analog Devices is a 33 MIPS fixed-point DSP microcomputer with 16K × 24-bit on-chip program RAM, 16K × 16-bit on-chip data RAM, and dual 16-bit synchronous serial ports (SPORT0/SPORT1). It executes instructions in 30 ns cycles, supports zero-overhead looping, and targets real-time audio processing, telecom channel coding, and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2187LKST-210 datasheet, ADSP-2187LKST-210 pinout, ADSP-2187LKST-210 application, or ADSP-2187LKST-210 equivalent, key selection criteria include instruction cycle time, on-chip memory configuration, serial port framing flexibility, power-down recovery latency, and ICE-Port™ debug interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2187LKST-210 implements the ADSP-2100 family base architecture with three independent computational units (ALU, MAC, shifter), two data address generators (DAGs), and a zero-overhead program sequencer. Its 3-bus architecture enables simultaneous dual operand fetches per instruction cycle, supporting one ALU operation, one MAC operation, and one shifter operation in parallel.
It integrates a 16-bit internal DMA port (IDMA) for host-mode system interfacing, an 8-bit byte DMA port (BDMA) addressing up to 4 MByte external memory, and programmable 16-bit interval timer with prescaler. Serial ports support hardware companding (A-law/µ-law per G.711), frameless or framed operation, and multichannel TDM on SPORT0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instruction Cycle Time | 30 ns - enables 33 MIPS sustained throughput with single-cycle execution of all instructions including context switches. |
| On-Chip Program Memory | 16K × 24-bit RAM - stores both instructions and data; allows dual-operand fetch (one from PM, one from DM) per cycle. |
| On-Chip Data Memory | 16K × 16-bit RAM - supports circular buffer addressing via DAG modulo mode for efficient FIR/IIR filtering. |
| Serial Ports | 2 × bidirectional double-buffered SPORTs - each supports independent framing, 3–16-bit word length, and hardware companding. |
| Power-Down Recovery | 100 CLKIN cycles - minimal latency wake-up from hardware/software-initiated low-power state without context loss. |
| Timer Resolution | Programmable 16-bit counter with 8-bit prescaler - generates precise periodic interrupts for sample-rate timing or task scheduling. |
| ICE-Port™ Interface | 14-pin dedicated emulation port - enables in-circuit debugging without removing ADSP-2187LKST-210 from target board. |
Pinout & Package
ADSP-2187LKST-210 is housed in a 100-lead thin quad flat package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, compliant with JEDEC MO-153. Pin functions are multiplexed across memory interface, serial I/O, flag I/O, interrupt, and emulation domains, with mode selection determined at RESET via Mode C/B/A pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN / XTAL | Clock input pair | Accepts either 16.67 MHz TTL clock (half-instruction rate) or fundamental-mode crystal; oscillator disabled during power-down. |
| SPORT0[5] | Synchronous serial I/O group | Provides DT0, DR0, TFS0, RFS0, SCLK0 - configurable for frame sync polarity, pulse width, and master/slave clock generation. |
| SPORT1[5] | Reconfigurable serial/flag/interrupt group | Default: DT1, DR1, TFS1, RFS1, SCLK1; software-reconfigurable to IRQ0/IRQ1/FO/FI while retaining serial clock capability. |
| PF0–PF7 | Programmable flag I/O | 8 pins configurable as input/output; PF0–PF2 double as Mode A/B/C select pins during RESET only. |
| IDMA[16] | Host-mode address/data bus | 16-bit multiplexed IAD15:0 used only when Mode C = 1; enables glueless connection to microcontroller or FPGA host systems. |
| PWD / PWDACK | Power management control | PWD asserts hardware power-down; PWDACK confirms entry into low-power state within 100 cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three Computational Units | Independent ALU, MAC (40-bit accumulator), and shifter enable true parallel arithmetic, multiply-accumulate, and normalization in one cycle. |
| Dual Data Address Generators | Each DAG maintains four post-modified pointers with associated length registers - supports automatic circular buffering for FFTs and filters without CPU overhead. |
| Zero-Overhead Looping | Hardware loop stack and counters eliminate branch instructions in inner loops - critical for deterministic real-time DSP kernels. |
| Flexible Memory Interface Modes | Full Memory Mode (Mode C = 0) supports 14-bit address bus and 24-bit data bus; Host Mode (Mode C = 1) enables 16-bit IDMA for embedded host co-processing. |
| UART Emulation Capability | SPORT reconfiguration via software allows bit-rate programmable asynchronous serial communication without external UART hardware. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-point DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-2189MKSTZ-266 | Higher clock speed (266 MHz core, 60 ns cycle), 32K × 24-bit PM, 32K × 16-bit DM, same pinout and instruction set. | Supports higher sample rates (192 kHz audio) and larger FFTs (4096-pt); requires tighter layout for signal integrity. | Select when >33 MIPS throughput or >32K on-chip memory is required; drop-in replacement with no firmware changes. |
| TMS320VC5402PGE | 100 MHz C54x core, 16K × 16-bit RAM, 16-bit EMIF, McBSP serial ports, different instruction set and memory map. | Lacks hardware companding and dual-DAG circular buffering; requires code porting and peripheral driver redesign. | Choose for TI ecosystem compatibility or lower unit cost where G.711 companding and zero-overhead loops are not mandatory. |
Compared with ADSP-2187LKST-210, ADSP-2189MKSTZ-266 delivers 2× peak MIPS with identical architecture and pin compatibility, while TMS320VC5402PGE offers lower cost but demands full software migration and lacks integrated companding and dual-DAG efficiency.

FAQ
What clock source options does the ADSP-2187LKST-210 support?
The ADSP-2187LKST-210 accepts either a 16.67 MHz TTL-compatible clock signal applied to CLKIN (with XTAL left unconnected), or a fundamental-mode quartz crystal connected across CLKIN and XTAL pins. The internal oscillator is automatically disabled during power-down to minimize current draw, and crystal startup stabilization time is handled transparently by the device.
Does the ADSP-2187LKST-210 support hardware-based A-law and µ-law companding?
Yes, the ADSP-2187LKST-210 implements G.711-compliant A-law and µ-law companding in hardware within its SPORT peripherals. This offloads the CPU from real-time logarithmic encoding/decoding, reducing instruction cycles by up to 35% in voice codec applications compared to software-only implementations.
How many external interrupts does the ADSP-2187LKST-210 support, and what sensitivity types are available?
The ADSP-2187LKST-210 supports six external interrupts: IRQ2 (edge- or level-sensitive), IRQL0 and IRQL1 (level-sensitive), IRQE (edge-sensitive), plus IRQ0 and IRQ1 (reconfigurable via SPORT1). Sensitivity is programmable through the ICNTL register, and all interrupts except power-down and reset are individually maskable via the IMASK register.
Can the ADSP-2187LKST-210 operate in a host processor configuration?
Yes, the ADSP-2187LKST-210 supports Host Mode when Mode C is asserted high at RESET, enabling its 16-bit IDMA port (IAD15:0) for direct memory-mapped access to on-chip program and data RAM. In this mode, the device acts as a peripheral coprocessor controlled by a host microcontroller or FPGA, with dedicated IWR, IRD, IAL, IS, and IACK signals.
What is the memory organization of the ADSP-2187LKST-210, and how is it utilized in typical DSP algorithms?
The ADSP-2187LKST-210 contains 16K × 24-bit program memory RAM and 16K × 16-bit data memory RAM. In FIR filter implementations, program memory holds coefficient tables and instruction code, while data memory stores circular input/output buffers managed by dual DAGs - enabling single-cycle dual-operand fetches for optimal MAC throughput without external memory bottlenecks.
