24-bit General Purpose Digital Signal Processor , Inc

The DSP56001 is a member of Motorolas family of HCMOS, low-power, general purpose Digital Signal Processors. The DSP56001 features 512 words of full speed, on-chip program RAM (PRAM) memory, two 256 word data RAMs, two preprogrammed data ROMs, and special on-chip bootstrap hardware to per- mit convenient loading of user programs into the pro- gram RAM. It is an off-the-shelf part since the program memory is user programmable. The core of the processor consists of three execution units operating in parallel the data ALU, the address generation unit, and the program controller. The DSP56001 has MCU-style on-chip peripherals, program and data memory, as well as a memory expansion port. The MPU-style programming model and instruction set make writing efficient, com- pact code, straightforward. The high throughput of the DSP56001 makes it well-suited for Communication high-speed control, numeric processing, computer and Audio applications. The key features which facilitate this throughput are: By Freescale Semiconductor, Inc
