Product details
Overview
ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 from Analog Devices is a 12.5 ns instruction cycle, 80 MIPS fixed-point DSP microcomputer with 32K words (24-bit) program RAM and 32K words (16-bit) data RAM, featuring dual serial ports, 16-bit internal DMA port, and programmable 16-bit interval timer - deployed in real-time audio processing, telecom channel banks, and industrial motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 datasheet, ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 pinout, ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 application, or ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-chip memory configuration (32K/32K), LQFP-100 package compatibility, 1.8 V core voltage operation, and ICE-Port™ debug interface support for in-system validation.
Technical Context
The ADSP-2187NKSTZ-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. It executes all instructions-including multifunction moves with computation-in a single 12.5 ns cycle.
Its memory subsystem supports full memory mode with shared external address/data buses, byte DMA for EPROM booting, and 16-bit internal DMA for high-speed host access to on-chip RAM. Serial ports SPORT0 and SPORT1 provide hardware companding (A-law/μ-law), frame-synchronized I/O, and multichannel TDM support up to 32-word streams.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the core supply voltage requirement for ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320?
The ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 operates with a nominal 1.8 V ±0.1 V core supply (VDDINT) for logic and computational units. I/O banks support 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V operation independently, with all inputs tolerant to 3.6 V regardless of selected I/O voltage. This separation enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage peripherals without level shifters.
Does ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 support automatic boot from external memory?
Yes, ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 supports automatic boot via its byte DMA (BDMA) port from byte-wide external memory such as EPROM or flash. When configured in Mode C = 0, Mode A = 0 (Table 2), it loads the first 32 program memory words from byte memory space before starting execution - enabling standalone operation without external host initialization.
How many external interrupts does ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 support?
The ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 supports up to six external interrupts: IRQ2 (edge- or level-sensitive), IRQL0 and IRQL1 (level-sensitive), IRQE (edge-sensitive), plus IRQ0 and IRQ1 configurable via SPORT1 pin multiplexing. All are individually maskable except the nonmaskable power-down interrupt, and prioritized per Table 3 vector addresses.
Is ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 pin-compatible with other ADSP-218xN devices?
Yes, all ADSP-218xN series members - including ADSP-2184N, ADSP-2185N, ADSP-2186N, ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320, ADSP-2188N, and ADSP-2189N - are fully pin-compatible in both 100-lead LQFP and 144-ball BGA packages. Differentiation is solely by on-chip memory size, allowing hardware reuse across performance tiers.
What debug interface does ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 provide?
ADSP-2187NKSTZ-320 integrates the ICE-Port™ emulator interface, a proprietary JTAG-compliant debug port supporting real-time instruction trace, breakpoint insertion, register inspection, and memory read/write during live system operation - critical for validating timing-critical signal processing in final hardware.
