Product details
Overview
ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit fixed-point DSP microcomputer optimized for real-time signal processing in embedded audio, telecom, and industrial control systems. It delivers 80 MIPS sustained performance at 12.5 ns instruction cycle time (1.8 V core), features 32K words of on-chip program RAM and 32K words of data RAM, and integrates dual serial ports with hardware companding per CCITT G.711.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 datasheet, ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 pinout, ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 application, or ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip memory configuration (32K/32K), LQFP-100 package compatibility, 16-bit internal DMA port support, power-down recovery within 200 CLKIN cycles, and SPORT0 multichannel TDM capability for voice channel aggregation.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 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 Harvard architecture enables simultaneous dual operand fetches - one from program memory and one from data memory - in every instruction cycle.
It supports flexible system interfacing via 16-bit internal DMA port (IDMA), byte-wide DMA (BDMA) for 4 MB external memory access, programmable wait states, and glueless I/O memory space with separate strobe control. Boot modes include BDMA auto-load from byte memory or IDMA host-initiated loading, both requiring hold-off until completion before execution begins.

Pinout & Package
ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 is housed in a 100-lead Low-Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced for sustained DSP workloads. Pin functions are defined across five functional groups: memory interface (PMA/PMD/DMA/DMD buses), serial I/O (SPORT0/SPORT1 signals), programmable flags (PF0–PF7), system control (RESET, PWD, PWDACK, CLKIN, XTAL), and DMA ports (IDMA/BDMA).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and instruction throughput of the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320?
The ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 operates with a 12.5 ns instruction cycle time, delivering 80 million instructions per second (MIPS) sustained performance. This is achieved at 1.8 V core voltage with an external 40 MHz clock applied to CLKIN, which the internal circuitry doubles to generate the 80 MHz instruction clock. All instructions execute in a single cycle, including arithmetic, memory access, and branching operations, ensuring deterministic real-time behavior critical for audio and control applications.
Does the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 support hardware-based audio compression standards?
Yes, the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 includes dedicated hardware companding logic in both serial ports (SPORT0 and SPORT1) compliant with CCITT Recommendation G.711 for A-law and μ-law encoding/decoding. This offloads the CPU from performing computationally intensive logarithmic compression in software, reducing processing overhead by over 40% in voice codec implementations and enabling simultaneous multi-channel operation without compromising real-time deadlines.
How does the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 manage power consumption in portable applications?
The ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 supports three low-power modes: Power-Down (sub-100 µA standby), Idle (clock-gated, interrupt-wakeup), and Slow Idle (programmable clock divisor of 16/32/64/128). Power-Down mode guarantees recovery in exactly 200 CLKIN cycles, making it ideal for event-driven acquisition in battery-powered ECG monitors or voice-activated devices. The 1.8 V core supply further minimizes dynamic power dissipation during active computation.
What memory configurations are available on the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320?
The ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 integrates 32K words of on-chip program RAM (24-bit wide) and 32K words of on-chip data RAM (16-bit wide), fully configurable for instruction and data storage. Unlike earlier ADSP-218xN variants, this specific part does not include mask-ROM or flash; all program memory is SRAM-based and volatile, requiring boot from external byte memory (e.g., EPROM) or host-loaded via the 16-bit internal DMA port during initialization.
Is the ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 pin-compatible with other members of the ADSP-218xN family?
Yes, all ADSP-218xN series devices - including ADSP-2184N, ADSP-2185N, ADSP-2186N, ADSP-2187N, ADSP-2188N, and ADSP-2189N - are fully pin-compatible in both 100-lead LQFP and 144-ball BGA packages. The ADSP-2187NBSTZ-320 uses the LQFP-100 variant (BSTZ suffix) and shares identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and timing specifications with other family members, enabling drop-in memory-scaling upgrades without PCB redesign.
