LSI403Z Digital Signal Processor
O V E R V I E W
The LSI403Z is a low power 16-bit fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP)
based on the LSI Logic ZSP400 DSP core. The device has been designed for
applications requiring high throughput and flexibility coupled with a high speed
I/O, such as Voice over Networks CPE/IAD devices and audio applications. The
LSI403Z is capable of a maximum clock rate of 150 MHz for 600 MIPS peak
performance and sustained effective throughput of 300 DSP MIPS (MACs). The
device is also software compatible with all other products in the ZSP architecture,
and offers an unrivalled combination of code density, performance and ease of use.

The internal memory structure of the LSI403Z comprises of 16K words of
on-chip instruction memory, 16K words of on-chip data memory, 2K words on-
chip boot ROM, and on-chip peripherals. Additionally, the boot ROM provides
start-up and self-test capabilities. Both synchronous and asynchronous devices
are supported including sync-burst SRAM. The external memory is logically
segmented into instruction, data, and peripheral spaces.

The DMA controller of the LSI403Z supports zero-overhead instruction or data
transfers to or from the entire 32K words of internal RAM to the memory interface
unit, host processor interface, or serial ports. The eight DMA channels are
segmented between four “indexed” and four “non-indexed” channels. Indexed
channels have the ability to multiplex and de-multiplex data. Indexed channels can
also operate in non-indexed mode.
