ADSP-21992
August 2002
PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
Power Down All Mode
When the ADSP-21992 is in Power Down All mode, the 
DSP core clock, the peripheral clock, and the PLL are all 
stopped. The DSP does not retain the contents of the 
instruction pipeline. The peripheral bus is stopped, so the 
peripherals cannot receive data.
To exit Power Down Core/Peripherals mode, the DSP 
responds to an interrupt and (after 500 cycles to re-stabilize 
the PLL) resumes executing instructions.
Clock Signals
The ADSP-21992 can be clocked by a crystal oscillator or 
a buffered, shaped clock derived from an external clock 
oscillator. If a crystal oscillator is used, the crystal should be 
connected across the CLKIN and XTAL pins, with two 
capacitors connected as shown in 
Figure 5
. Capacitor 
values are dependent on crystal type and should be specified 
by the crystal manufacturer. A parallel resonant, fundamen-
tal frequency, microprocessor grade crystal should be used 
for this configuration.
If a buffered, shaped clock is used, this external clock 
connects to the DSP’s CLKIN pin. CLKIN input cannot 
be halted, changed, or operated below the specified 
frequency during normal operation. This clock signal 
should be a TTL compatible signal. When an external clock 
is used, the XTAL input must be left unconnected.
The DSP provides a user programmable 1  to 32  multi-
plication of the input clock, including some fractional 
values, to support 128 external to internal (DSP core) clock 
ratios. The BYPASS pin, and MSEL6–0 and DF bits, in the 
PLL configuration register, decide the PLL multiplication 
factor at reset. At runtime, the multiplication factor can be 
controlled in software. To support input clocks greater that 
100 MHz, the PLL uses an additional bit (DF). If the input 
clock is greater than 100 MHz, DF must be set. If the input 
clock is less than 100 MHz, DF must be cleared. For clock 
multiplier settings, see the ADSP-21992

Reference Manual
.
The peripheral clock is supplied to the CLKOUT pin. 
All on chip peripherals for the ADSP-21992 operate at the 
rate set by the peripheral clock. The peripheral clock 
(HCLK) is either equal to the core clock rate or one half the 
DSP core clock rate (CCLK). This selection is controlled 
by the IOSEL bit in the PLLCTL register. The maximum 
core clock is 160 MHz, and the maximum peripheral clock 
is 80 MHz—the combination of the input clock and 
core/peripheral clock ratios may not exceed these limits.
Reset and Power On Reset (POR)
The RESET pin initiates a complete hardware reset of the 
ADSP-21992 when pulled low. The RESET signal must be 
asserted when the device is powered up to assure proper 
initialization. The ADSP-21992 contains an integrated 
power on reset (POR) circuit that provides an output reset 
signal, POR, from the ADSP-21992 on power up and if the 
power supply voltage falls below the threshold level. The 
ADSP-21992 may be reset from an external source using 
the RESET signal or alternatively the internal power on 
reset circuit may be used by connecting the POR pin to the 
RESET pin. During power up the RESET line must be 
activated for long enough to allow the DSP core's internal 
clock to stabilize. The power up sequence is defined as the 
total time required for the crystal oscillator to stabilize after 
a valid VDD is applied to the processor and for the internal 
phase locked loop (PLL) to lock onto the specific crystal 
frequency. A minimum of 2000 cycles will ensure that the 
PLL has locked (this does not include the crystal oscillator 
start up time).
The RESET input contains some hysteresis. If using an RC 
circuit to generate your RESET signal, the circuit should 
use an external Schmidt trigger.
The master reset sets all internal stack pointers to the empty 
stack condition, masks all interrupts, and resets all registers 
to their default values (where applicable). When RESET is 
released, if there is no pending bus request, program control 
jumps to the location of the on chip boot ROM (0xFF0000) 
and the booting sequence is performed.
Power Supplies
The ADSP-21992 has separate power supply connections 
for the internal (V
DDINT
) and external (V
DDEXT
) power 
supplies. The internal supply must meet the 2.5 V require-
ment. The external supply must be connected to a 3.3 V 
supply. All external supply pins must be connected to the 
same supply.
