Product details
Overview
DSPB56374AFC from Freescale Semiconductor is a 24-bit programmable digital signal processor (DSP) built on the DSP56300 core architecture, operating at 150 MHz with 150 MIPS performance, 6K×24-bit X/Y data RAM, and integrated Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) for multi-channel audio I/O. It targets real-time digital audio processing in automotive infotainment, professional audio mixers, and acoustic equalization systems.
For engineers reviewing the DSPB56374AFC datasheet, DSPB56374AFC pinout, DSPB56374AFC application, or DSPB56374AFC equivalent, key selection criteria include ESAI channel count (up to 4 receivers/6 transmitters), 5 V-tolerant GPIO capability (20 pins in 52-pin LQFP), PLL clock flexibility (1–255× multiplication), 1.25 V core / 3.3 V I/O supply separation, and OnCE/JTAG debug support.
Technical Context
The DSPB56374AFC implements the DSP56300 instruction-set-compatible 24-bit core with dual 56-bit accumulators, 24×24-bit MAC unit, and 56-bit barrel shifter. Its memory subsystem includes 20K×24-bit program ROM, 6K×24-bit program RAM, and configurable X/Y data RAM/ROM banks controlled by MSW bits.
It integrates three major peripheral domains: ESAI (supporting I2S, AC97, Sony protocols), SHI (dual-mode SPI/I²C with 10-word FIFO), and triple timer/WDT modules. All unused peripheral pins are reconfigurable as GPIO-20 pins available in the 52-pin LQFP package, each with internal pull-up/pull-down and 5 V tolerance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital audio DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-21369 | 32-bit SHARC core, 400 MHz, 2.4 GFLOPS; lacks native ESAI but offers SPORTs + SPI/I²C | Better suited for floating-point audio algorithms (e.g., nonlinear modeling), less optimized for I2S/AC97 protocol stack | Choose ADSP-21369 when floating-point precision or higher compute density is required over protocol-native audio I/O. |
| DSP56367 | Same DSP56300 core, 100 MHz, 100 MIPS; 48-pin LQFP; only 2 ESAI receivers / 4 transmitters; no ESAI_1 | Lower channel count and reduced memory (4K×24 program RAM) limits multi-stream audio routing depth | Choose DSP56367 for cost-sensitive, lower-channel-count audio endpoints where 150 MIPS headroom is unnecessary. |
Compared with DSPB56374AFC, ADSP-21369 delivers superior floating-point throughput but requires external protocol translation for AC97/I2S, while DSP56367 offers pin-compatible footprint and software compatibility at reduced performance and I/O scale-making it suitable for derivative designs with relaxed audio channel requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DSPB56374AFC core?
The DSPB56374AFC core operates at a maximum internal clock frequency of 150 MHz, delivering 150 million instructions per second (MIPS). This frequency is generated internally via the integrated PLL from an external EXTAL source, and the core logic supply (CORE_VDD) must be stabilized at 1.25 V to sustain this performance level. The DSPB56374AFC datasheet specifies timing margins and voltage tolerances required to maintain reliable operation at full speed.
Does the DSPB56374AFC support I²C communication natively?
Yes, the DSPB56374AFC supports I²C natively through its Serial Host Interface (SHI), which is configurable for either SPI or I²C protocol operation. In I²C mode, the SHI provides SCL and SDA signals with open-drain outputs, internal pull-up resistors, and full compliance with standard-mode (100 kbps) and fast-mode (400 kbps) I²C specifications. The DSPB56374AFC datasheet confirms tri-state behavior during reset and 5 V tolerance on both lines.
How many GPIO pins are available on the DSPB56374AFC in the 52-pin LQFP package?
The DSPB56374AFC provides 20 GPIO-capable pins in the 52-pin LQFP package, drawn from MODA/IRQA–MODD/IRQD, PH0–PH4, and PC0–PC7 signal groups. Each pin is individually configurable as input, output, or high-impedance disconnected, with internal pull-up or pull-down resistors. All 20 pins are explicitly documented as 5 V tolerant in the DSPB56374AFC datasheet's signal descriptions and DC electrical characteristics.
Is the Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) available in the 52-pin package of the DSPB56374AFC?
No, the ESAI_1 interface is explicitly excluded from the 52-pin package per the DSPB56374AFC datasheet (Section 2.3, footnote *). However, the primary ESAI interface-with up to 4 receivers and 6 transmitters-is fully functional in the 52-pin variant and supports I2S, Sony, AC97, and network protocols. ESAI pin assignments (e.g., HCKR, FSR, SDO4) are present and usable; only ESAI_1 (dedicated Port E signals) is omitted.
What debug interfaces does the DSPB56374AFC support for firmware development?
The DSPB56374AFC supports two complementary debug interfaces: IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG for boundary-scan testing and low-level register access, and the OnCE (On-Chip Emulation) module for real-time hardware/software debugging-including breakpoints, watchpoints, memory inspection, and instruction trace-without disrupting real-time audio processing. Both interfaces are electrically and functionally validated in the DSPB56374AFC datasheet's timing and signal grouping sections.
