Overview

The ADSP-21489 is a high-performance 32-bit/400MHz floating-point SHARC DSP featuring a Super Harvard Architecture for intensive signal processing. It includes 5Mbits of on-chip RAM and a rich set of peripherals including the Digital Application Interface (DAI) for flexible audio routing and peripheral connectivity.

Why Choose This Part

The SHARC core architecture eliminates the fixed-point scaling issues common in lower-end DSPs, significantly speeding up development for complex math. Its 400MHz clock rate combined with 5Mbit of internal memory allows for significant data buffering and algorithm complexity without the latency of external memory accesses.

Applications

High-Fidelity Audio Processing
Utilizes the 400MHz floating-point core and large RAM for complex multi-channel audio algorithms, including room correction and professional effects processing.
Automotive Infotainment
Provides the compute headroom needed for active noise cancellation and advanced sound field processing in vehicle cabins.
Industrial Signal Analysis
Executes fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and high-order filters for vibration monitoring and sensor fusion applications.
