Output Drive Currents
Figure 16
 shows typical I-V characteristics for the output drivers 
of the ADSP-2192M. The curves represent the current drive 
capability of the output drivers as a function of output voltage.
Power Dissipation
Total power dissipation has two components, one due to internal 
circuitry and one due to the switching of external output drivers. 
Internal power dissipation is dependent on the instruction 
execution sequence and the data operands involved.
The external component of total power dissipation is caused by 
the switching of output pins. Its magnitude depends on:
  Number of output pins that switch during each cycle (O)
 The maximum frequency at which they can switch (f)
 Their load capacitance (C)
 Their voltage swing (V
DD
)
and is calculated by the formula below.
The load capacitance includes the processor’s package capaci-
tance (C
IN
). The switching frequency includes driving the load 
high and then back low. Address and data pins can drive high and 
low at a maximum rate of 33 MHz.
The P
EXT
 equation is calculated for each class of pins that can 
drive as shown in 
Table 37
.
A typical power consumption can now be calculated for these 
conditions by adding a typical internal power dissipation with the 
following formula.

Electrical Characteristics on Page 30
.
Note that the conditions causing a worst-case P
EXT
 are different 
from those causing a worst-case P
INT
. Maximum P
INT
 cannot 
occur while 100% of the output pins are switching from all ones 
to all zeros. Note also that it is not common for an application to 
have 100% or even 50% of the outputs switching simultaneously.
Test Conditions
The ADSP-2192M is tested for compliance with all support 
industry standard interfaces (PCI, USB, and AC’97). Also, the 
DSP is tested for output enable, disable, and pulsewidth. See 
Table 35
 for the values of these parameters. 
Output Disable Time
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driving, 
go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from their 
output high or low voltage. The time for the voltage on the bus 
to decay by 
V is dependent on the capacitive load, C
L
 and the 
load current, I
L
. This decay time can be approximated by the 
equation below.
The output disable time t
DIS
 is the difference between t
MEASURED
and t
DECAY
 as shown in 
Figure 17
. The time t
MEASURED
 is the 
interval from when the reference signal switches to when the 
output voltage decays 
V from the measured output high or 
output low voltage. The t
DECAY
 is calculated with test loads C
L
 and 
I
L
, and with 
V equal to 0.5 V.
Output Enable Time
Output pins are considered to be enabled when they have made 
a transition from a high impedance state to when they start 
driving. The output enable time t
ENA
 is the interval from when a 
reference signal reaches a high or low voltage level to when the
