The time allotted for the SHARC to process this audio
data is 330us (16 samples x 48-kHz). At that point the
next audio brick has been collected and is ready for
processing. The processed output audio brick is then
deposited into SRAM (U5, U6). The audio bricks are
then taken by the Output SHARC's for mixing and out-
put processing. SHARC 2 (U26) processes Main A and
Outputs 1-4 while SHARC 3 (U28) is responsible for
Main B and Outputs 5-8. If additional delay is required,
the bricks are allowed to remain in SDRAM before pro-
cessing. The minimum delay through the audio process-
ing is as follows: • A/D Conversion 667us
• 5x "brick" delay 1667us
• DAC Conversion 520us
• Total Delay 2854us
This delay is constant and not dependent upon the
particular processing being done.
SDRAM provides a high speed synchronous memory
resource. Only the four SHARC processors have ac-
cess to SDRAM and they are responsible for the ac-
cess and maintenance of it. Each SHARC monitors the
