It is designed for applications such as real-time control systems, image processing, motor control, industrial automation, and medical imaging.

Application Field

The ADSP-21161NKCA-100 can be used for various types of applications including real-time control systems, digital signal processing, remote sensing, automotive, industrial and medical imaging. The processor is capable of performing most digital signal processing operations including filtering, modulation, deconvolution and adaptive filtering.

Working Principle

The ADSP-21161NKCA-100 is a single core processor with a 32-bit instruction set and architecture. The processor consists of a 16-bit and 32-bit instruction system. The 16-bit instruction system is based on Harvard architecture which has three bus systems. These are the instruction bus, data bus and extended bus. The 32-bit instruction system uses the Von Neumann architecture which has only two buses, the instruction bus and the data bus. The processor also has 256Kbytes of on-chip ROM and 128Kbytes of RAM.

The processor also has a host of peripherals such as serial ports, timer, watchdog timer, and interrupts. The interrupts can be used for external I/O and to provide synchronization when the processor is communicating with a peripheral device. These peripherals enable the processor to interface with external devices such as analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, speech codecs and electronic flash memory.

The processor also has three built-in coordinate system coprocessors. These are the vector processing unit (VPU), the graphics processing unit (GPU) and the matrix processing unit (MPU). This allows the processor to perform fast operations on vector data. The GPU is used for image processing and the MPU is used for matrix operations.

The processor also has a range of memory systems including static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and non-volatile memory (NVM). The SRAM is used for program and data storage, while the DRAM is used for large memory intensive operations. The NVM is used for long-term storage of programs and data.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the ADSP-21161NKCA-100 is a highly integrated embedded DSP processor. It is designed for applications such as real-time control systems, image processing, motor control, industrial automation and medical imaging. The processor has a range of features including vector processing unit, graphics processing unit, matrix processing unit, multiple buses, on-chip ROM and RAM, and a range of peripherals.
