GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-21020 is the first member of Analog Devices’ family
of single-chip IEEE floating-point processors optimized for
digital signal processing applications. Its architecture is similar
to that of Analog Devices’ ADSP-2100 family of fixed-point
DSP processors.

Fabricated in a high-speed, low-power CMOS process, the
ADSP-21020 has a 30 ns instruction cycle time. With a high-
performance on-chip instruction cache, the ADSP-21020 can
execute every instruction in a single cycle.

The ADSP-21020 features:

Independent Parallel Computation Units

The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU), multiplier and shifter
perform single-cycle instructions. The units are architecturally
arranged in parallel, maximizing computational throughput. A
single multifunction instruction executes parallel ALU and

Data Register File

A general-purpose data register file is used for transferring
data between the computation units and the data buses, and
for storing intermediate results. This 10-port (16-register)
register file, combined with the ADSP-21020’s Harvard
architecture, allows unconstrained data flow between
computation units and off-chip memory.

Single-Cycle Fetch of Instruction and Two Operands

The ADSP-21020 uses a modified Harvard architecture in
which data memory stores data and program memory stores
both instructions and data. Because of its separate program
and data memory buses and on-chip instruction cache, the
processor can simultaneously fetch an operand from data
memory, an operand from program memory, and an
instruction from the cache, all in a single cycle.

Memory Interface

Addressing of external memory devices by the ADSP-21020 is
facilitated by on-chip decoding of high-order address lines to
generate memory bank select signals. Separate control lines
are also generated for simplified addressing of page-mode
DRAM.

The ADSP-21020 provides programmable memory wait
states, and external memory acknowledge controls allow
interfacing to peripheral devices with variable access times.
