Product details
Overview
ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 from Analog Devices is a 300 MHz Static Superscalar DSP processor with dual compute blocks, 6 Mbits of on-chip SRAM (3 × 2M-bit banks), 14-channel DMA controller, and four 250 MB/s link ports. It executes up to four 32-bit instructions per cycle and delivers 600 million 80-bit MACs/s or 2.4 billion 40-bit MACs/s for telecom infrastructure signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 datasheet, ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 pinout, ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 application, or ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 equivalent, this page provides verified architecture details, memory bandwidth (14.4 GB/s), SIMD support, glueless multiprocessor bus arbitration, and JTAG-compliant emulation capability - all critical for high-throughput DSP system design.
Technical Context
The ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 implements a Static Superscalar architecture with two independent compute blocks (X/Y), each containing an ALU, multiplier, 64-bit shifter, and 32-word register file. It features three 128-bit internal data buses connected to separate 2M-bit SRAM banks, enabling concurrent instruction fetch and dual data accesses per cycle.
Dual integer ALUs provide circular buffering, bit-reverse addressing, and zero-overhead looping; the 14-channel DMA supports flyby, chaining, and 2D transfers; and the external port delivers 800 MB/s throughput with SDRAM, EPROM, and host interface support - all integrated without external glue logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-performance static superscalar DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-TS201SABP-060 | 500 MHz core, 12 Mbit SRAM, 6-link ports, larger 625-ball PBGA (27 mm × 27 mm); higher power (3.6 W vs. 2.8 W). | Targets next-gen 4G/LTE baseband where 500 MHz clock and extra link bandwidth justify thermal and layout cost. | Select when >2.4 GOPS sustained performance and expanded I/O are required; not pin-compatible with ADSP-TS101SAB2-000. |
| TMS320C6416TGLZA8 | VLIW C64x+ core at 850 MHz, 1 MB L2 cache, EMIF interface only (no link ports or glueless multiprocessing), 352-pin BGA. | Suited for general-purpose DSP tasks with high instruction throughput but no native multiprocessor bus or link port interconnect. | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-DSP embedded systems needing high MIPS but lacking TigerSHARC's inter-DSP fabric or accelerator units. |
Compared with ADSP-TS201SABP-060, the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 offers lower power and smaller footprint for established 3G infrastructure, while differing from TMS320C6416TGLZA8 by providing hardware-accelerated communications algorithms, deterministic multiprocessing, and integrated link ports - making it irreplaceable in scalable radar or multi-DSP telecom systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sustained MAC throughput of the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000?
The ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 delivers 7.1 MACs per cycle sustained 16-bit performance (1.8 GOPS) and 1.8 MACs per cycle sustained 32-bit performance (540 million MACs/s), measured using FIR benchmarks. Its peak capability is 2.4 billion 40-bit MACs/s or 600 million 80-bit MACs/s - confirmed in Analog Devices' Table 1 and Table 2 benchmarks at 300 MHz operation.
Does the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 support booting from external memory?
Yes, the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 supports booting from an 8-bit EPROM via its external port. At reset, it automatically loads code using DMA Channel 0 with 16 wait cycles per read, packing bytes into 32-bit instructions. The EPROM interface operates in a separate 16 MB byte-address space and remains accessible during normal operation for flash programming.
How many link ports does the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 have, and what is their data rate?
The ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 integrates four full-duplex link ports, each capable of 250 MB/s bidirectional data transfer (1 GByte/s aggregate). These ports use source-synchronous LVDS signaling and support daisy-chain or star topologies - enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth inter-DSP communication without external switches or buffers.
Is the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 pin-compatible with other TigerSHARC processors?
No - the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000 uses a 484-ball CSP_BGA (BC-484-1) package, while other TigerSHARC variants like ADSP-TS201S use 625-ball PBGA packages. Although code-compatible and architecturally aligned, mechanical and electrical pinouts differ; PCB redesign is required for substitution between families.
What development tools are supported for the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000?
Analog Devices provides VisualDSP++ IDE with C/C++ compiler, assembler, simulator, and JTAG-based EZ-KIT Lite evaluation hardware for the ADSP-TS101SAB2-000. The processor's IEEE 1149.1 JTAG port enables real-time tracing, breakpoint insertion, and memory inspection without halting execution - essential for validating timing-critical signal processing pipelines.
