Product details
Overview
ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 from Analog Devices is a 33 MIPS fixed-point DSP microcomputer optimized for real-time audio, telecom, and industrial control applications. It features 16K × 24-bit on-chip program RAM, 16K × 16-bit on-chip data RAM, dual 16-bit synchronous serial ports (SPORT0/SPORT1), a 16-bit internal DMA port, and a programmable 16-bit interval timer with prescaler. Fabricated in 0.5 µm CMOS, it delivers 30 ns instruction cycle time and supports power-down mode with 100-cycle recovery.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 datasheet, ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 pinout, ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 application, or ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip memory configuration, SPORT companding support (A-law/µ-law per G.711), host/full memory mode flexibility, ICE-Port™ debug interface compatibility, and low-power idle/slow-idle operation for battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 implements the ADSP-2100 family 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 nested loops. Its 3-bus architecture enables simultaneous dual operand fetches - one from program memory and one from data memory - in every instruction cycle.
It integrates dual double-buffered serial ports with hardware companding, byte DMA (up to 4 MB addressing), and a 16-bit internal DMA port for transparent access to on-chip RAM. Memory interface supports full memory mode (14-bit address bus, 24-bit data bus) or host mode (16-bit multiplexed IDMA bus), selected via Mode C pin at reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instruction Cycle Time | 30 ns - enables deterministic 33 MIPS sustained throughput for real-time signal processing. |
| On-Chip Program Memory | 16K × 24-bit RAM - stores instructions and constants; dual-purpose for data overlay in boot scenarios. |
| On-Chip Data Memory | 16K × 16-bit RAM - provides fast, low-latency operand access for filter coefficients and buffers. |

| Timer | 16-bit programmable interval timer with 8-bit prescaler - generates precise periodic interrupts for sampling or scheduling. |
| Power Modes | Power-down (100-cycle wake-up), Idle, and Slow Idle (IDLE(n) with n=16/32/64/128) - reduce dynamic power without halting DMA or SPORT autobuffering. |
| Debug Interface | 14-pin ICE-Port™ - enables in-target, instruction-level emulation with up to 20 breakpoints and C-source debugging. |
Pinout & Package
The ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 is housed in a 100-lead TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced for embedded DSP applications requiring compact board layout and moderate power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN / XTAL | Clock input pair | Accepts either external TTL clock (at half instruction rate) or parallel-resonant crystal; determines core timing reference. |
| RESET | Asynchronous processor reset | Initializes registers, clears stacks, and forces boot sequence; also terminates power-down state. |
| PWD / PWDACK | Power-down control interface | PWD asserts hardware-initiated low-power entry; PWDACK confirms entry into dormant state. |
| SPORT0 / SPORT1 | Dual serial I/O interfaces | Each provides independent Tx/Rx double buffers, programmable clocks, and framing - supports TDM, codec interfacing, and multiprocessor comms. |
| Mode C / PF2 | Memory mode select & flag I/O | Configures Full Memory Mode (Mode C = 0) or Host Mode (Mode C = 1) at reset; retains PF2 flag functionality during operation. |
| IRQ2 / PF7, IRQE / PF4, etc. | Multiplexed interrupt/flag pins | Support concurrent use: e.g., IRQ2 functions as edge/level-sensitive interrupt while PF7 operates as programmable I/O flag. |
| ICE-Port™ (EZ-Port) | Emulation interface | 14-pin dedicated debug port enabling non-intrusive, real-time trace, register inspection, and flash programming in final system. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-cycle instruction execution | Every instruction - including multiply-accumulate, bit manipulation, and conditional branches - completes in one 30 ns cycle, enabling deterministic real-time response. |
| Dual SPORT hardware companding | Integrated A-law and µ-law encoding/decoding per CCITT G.711 eliminates need for external codec in voice-grade telephony and VoIP endpoints. |
| Zero-overhead looping | Hardware loop counters and stack eliminate branch penalties, allowing tight FIR/IIR filter kernels to execute without pipeline stalls. |
| Flexible memory interface modes | Full Memory Mode supports external 4 MB byte memory and I/O peripherals; Host Mode enables glueless connection to microcontroller buses via 16-bit IDMA port. |
| Programmable slow-idle clock scaling | IDLE(n) instruction reduces internal clock by factor of 16/32/64/128 - preserves full functionality while cutting dynamic power proportionally for sensor hub or portable audio applications. |
Applications
| Voice Communication Endpoint | Digital Audio Processing System |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: VoIP gateway handling multiple concurrent G.711-encoded voice channels with echo cancellation and DTMF detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary signal processor executing real-time codecs, adaptive filters, and protocol stack offload - synchronized to 8 kHz sampling via timer-generated interrupts. Use Value: Dual SPORTs with hardware companding eliminate external codec ICs; on-chip 32K words RAM store coefficient tables and circular buffers for 16-channel processing. |
Use Scenario: Portable digital effects processor for guitar or microphone with reverb, chorus, and parametric EQ. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Real-time audio stream coprocessor managing ADC/DAC data flow, applying FIR filters, and updating parameters via UART-emulated SPORT. Use Value: 33 MIPS throughput ensures sub-1 ms latency; slow-idle mode extends battery life during standby without losing buffer state or interrupt responsiveness. |
| Industrial Motor Control Interface | Embedded Telemetry Data Aggregator |
|
Use Scenario: Field-deployed servo drive controller acquiring current/voltage feedback, running field-oriented control (FOC) algorithms, and communicating via RS-485. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Deterministic computation engine executing FOC inner-loop at 20 kHz - timed precisely by programmable timer with 100 ns resolution. Use Value: Power-down mode enables rapid wake-on-event (e.g., fault signal); 13 programmable flags interface directly to gate drivers, encoders, and status LEDs without GPIO expanders. |
Use Scenario: Remote environmental sensor node collecting analog inputs (temp, humidity, pressure), compressing data, and transmitting over LoRaWAN via UART-to-SPI bridge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power data preprocessing unit performing sensor calibration, outlier rejection, and delta-encoding before transmission - activated by timer or external interrupt. Use Value: Idle and slow-idle modes reduce average current to <1 mA; byte DMA loads calibration tables from external SPI flash without CPU intervention. |
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-160 | Higher-speed variant (160 MHz core, 6.25 ns cycle); identical pinout and memory map but requires faster external memory and tighter layout. | Better suited for multi-channel wideband audio or radar pulse compression where >33 MIPS is required. | Select when sustained throughput >33 MIPS is mandatory and PCB layout supports higher-speed signaling. |
| TMS320VC5402PGE100 | TI C54x architecture; 100 MHz, 16K × 16-bit RAM, McBSP serial ports (no native G.711 companding); different instruction set and toolchain. | Preferred in legacy TI-based designs or where Code Composer Studio ecosystem integration is critical. | Choose only if migrating from existing C54x codebase; not drop-in compatible due to ISA and peripheral differences. |
Compared with ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160, the ADSP-2189MKSTZ-160 offers higher compute density but increases power and layout complexity, while the TMS320VC5402PGE100 trades integrated companding and ICE-Port™ debug for broader third-party tool support - making the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 optimal for new cost-sensitive, voice-centric, or low-power embedded DSP designs.

FAQ
What clock source options does the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 support?
The ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 accepts either an external TTL-compatible clock signal applied to CLKIN (at half the instruction rate, e.g., 16.67 MHz for 33 MIPS) or a parallel-resonant crystal connected across CLKIN and XTAL. The internal oscillator circuit supports fundamental-mode crystals; capacitor values must follow the crystal manufacturer's specification. XTAL must remain unconnected when using an external clock.
Does the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 support hardware-based A-law and µ-law companding?
Yes, the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 implements full hardware companding per CCITT G.711 standard on both SPORT0 and SPORT1. This allows direct interface with PSTN line cards and VoIP codecs without external compander ICs - reducing BOM count and latency in voice processing pipelines.
How does memory mode selection work on the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160?
Memory mode is selected at reset via the Mode C pin (multiplexed with PF2). Mode C = 0 configures Full Memory Mode (14-bit address, 24-bit data bus for external overlay memory), while Mode C = 1 selects Host Mode (16-bit multiplexed IDMA bus). The setting is latched at reset and cannot be changed dynamically during operation.
Can the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 enter low-power states without stopping DMA or serial transfers?
Yes - in Idle and Slow Idle modes, the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 continues servicing byte DMA transfers, SPORT autobuffer cycles, and timer decrements while reducing CPU clock frequency. Only Power-Down mode halts all internal clocks except those needed for wake-up event detection.
Is the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 pin-compatible with other ADSP-218x devices?
Yes, the ADSP-2187LKSTZ-160 shares the same 100-lead TQFP package and pinout as ADSP-2181, ADSP-2185, and ADSP-2189 variants. Functionally identical peripherals and memory maps enable hardware reuse across the ADSP-218x family - though speed grades and minor feature sets (e.g., instruction extensions) differ.
