Product details
Overview
DSM2190F4V-15K6 from STMicroelectronics is a Digital Signal Processor System Memory (DSM) device designed for seamless, glueless integration with Analog Devices ADSP-2191 DSPs operating at 3.3 V. It integrates dual Flash memory arrays (256K × 8 main + 32K × 8 secondary), a 3,000-gate CPLD with 16 macrocells, up to 16 multifunction I/O pins, and JTAG-based in-system programming - enabling concurrent code/data access, boot-from-external-memory operation, and field-upgradable logic and firmware.
For engineers reviewing the DSM2190F4V-15K6 datasheet, DSM2190F4V-15K6 pinout, DSM2190F4V-15K6 application, or DSM2190F4V-15K6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 ns Flash access time, sector-wise write protection, zero-power standby current (25 µA), PLCC52 package compatibility with ADSP-2191 address/data/control bus, and runtime-configurable decode PLD for flexible memory mapping.
Technical Context
The DSM2190F4V-15K6 implements a two-chip DSP system architecture where the ADSP-2191 interfaces directly via 22-bit address, 8-bit data, and control signals (BMS, IOMS, MSx) without external glue logic. Its Decode PLD (DPLD) dynamically maps Flash sectors to any address boundary using programmable address decoding logic, supporting bootloading, code swapping, and parameter storage.
The integrated CPLD contains 16 output macrocells (OMCs) with direct DSP data bus access for real-time peripheral emulation (e.g., shifters, counters, state machines), while input macrocells (IMCs) condition Port B/C signals for debouncing or synchronous sampling - all configurable via JTAG ISP alongside Flash and security bits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DSP system memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DSM2190F4VV-15T6 | Same Flash/PLD/I/O specs but PQFP52 package instead of PLCC52; 150 ns speed grade identical. | Preferred for surface-mount assembly lines; lacks PLCC's mechanical robustness and thermal mass for high-vibration environments. | Select for automated SMT production; avoid if board requires through-hole mounting or higher thermal cycling tolerance. |
| ST M29W256GL | Standalone 256 Mb parallel NOR Flash (no PLD, no I/O, no JTAG ISP); 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply. | Requires external address decoder and CPLD for ADSP-2191 interface; no in-system logic reconfiguration capability. | Choose only when Flash-only expansion is needed and discrete logic resources are already available on board. |
Compared with DSM2190F4V-15K6, the PQFP variant offers SMT compatibility but sacrifices mechanical ruggedness, while the standalone M29W256GL delivers faster access but forces designers to replicate decode logic, I/O expansion, and secure programming infrastructure externally - increasing BOM, layout complexity, and qualification effort.

FAQ
What is the role of the Decode PLD (DPLD) in DSM2190F4V-15K6?
The Decode PLD (DPLD) dynamically maps individual Flash memory sectors - both Main (8 × 32 KB) and Secondary (4 × 8 KB) - to any address boundary within the ADSP-2191's memory space. It uses DSP address and control signals (e.g., BMS, MSx) to generate sector-select outputs, enabling flexible boot configurations, code swapping, and parameter storage without external logic. DPLD also drives external chip selects on Port D pins.
Can DSM2190F4V-15K6 execute code directly from Flash memory upon DSP reset?
Yes. The DSM2190F4V-15K6 supports boot-from-external-memory operation: the ADSP-2191 can be configured to fetch its initial instruction stream directly from Main or Secondary Flash. Custom startup code may be stored in Secondary Flash sectors and executed immediately after reset, freeing Main Flash for application code and enabling clean software partitioning.
How does the security bit protect intellectual property on DSM2190F4V-15K6?
When enabled, the programmable security bit blocks all external JTAG programming tools (including FlashLINK™ cable) from reading or writing Flash contents and PLD configuration. The ADSP-2191 retains full read access to Flash memory for runtime execution, preserving functionality while preventing unauthorized firmware extraction or cloning. Security can only be disabled by performing a full chip erase.
Is DSM2190F4V-15K6 compatible with other ADSP processors besides ADSP-2191?
No. DSM2190F4V-15K6 is specifically architected for the ADSP-2191's external port timing, strobe signaling (BMS/IOMS/MSx), and 22-bit address/8-bit data bus structure. Its decode logic, PLD interface, and runtime register map are not compatible with ADSP-218x, ADSP-2196, or SHARC families - confirmed by ST's documentation and Analog Devices' hardware reference manual.
