DSPB56720AG
Overview
The DSPB56720AG is a dual-core Symphony DSP based on the 24-bit DSP56300 architecture, specifically designed for high-performance audio processing. It operates at 200MHz and integrates dual cores to provide 400 MIPS of total processing power, supported by 744kB of on-chip RAM. This processor includes specialized hardware for audio tasks including Asynchronous Sample Rate Converters (ASRC) and S/PDIF transceivers.
Why Choose This Part
The dual-core architecture allows for effective task isolation, such as running a decoder on one core and room correction on the other. It features 5V tolerant I/O and high output drive current of 24mA, simplifying integration with legacy logic and various peripheral types. The inclusion of hardware ASRCs reduces CPU overhead when synchronizing multiple digital audio streams.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development typically requires the NXP Symphony Studio IDE and a compatible JTAG debugger for the DSP56300 architecture. Designers must provide a dual-rail power supply with 1.00V for the core and 3.30V for the I/O. Hardware design should prioritize low-impedance decoupling for the 144-LQFP package and plan for external non-volatile memory for boot code.
