biased rounding, result free ALU operations, I/O memory trans-
fers and global interrupt masking for increased flexibility.
Fabricated in a high speed, double metal, low power, CMOS
process, the ADSP-2186 operates with a 30 ns instruction cycle
time. Every instruction can execute in a single processor cycle.
T he ADSP-2186’s flexible architecture and comprehensive
instruction set allow the processor to perform multiple opera-
tions in parallel. In one processor cycle the ADSP-2186 can:
Generate the next program address
Fetch the next instruction
Perform one or two data moves
Update one or two data address pointers
Perform a computational operation
T his takes place while the processor continues to:
Receive and transmit data through the two serial ports
Receive and/or transmit data through the internal DMA port
Receive and/or transmit data through the byte DMA port

Development System
T he ADSP-2100 Family Development Software, a complete set
of tools for software and hardware system development, sup-
ports the ADSP-2186. T he System Builder provides a high level
method for defining the architecture of systems under develop-
ment. T he Assembler has an algebraic syntax that is easy to
program and debug. T he Linker combines object files into an
executable file. T he Simulator provides an interactive instruction-
level simulation with a reconfigurable user interface to display
different portions of the hardware environment. A PROM
Splitter generates PROM programmer compatible files. T he
C Compiler, based on the Free Software Foundation’s GNU
C Compiler, generates ADSP-2186 assembly source code.
T he source code debugger allows programs to be corrected in
the C environment. T he Runtime Library includes over 100
ANSI-standard mathematical and DSP-specific functions.
T he EZ-K IT Lite is a hardware/software kit offering a complete
development environment for the entire ADSP-21xx family: an
ADSP-218x based evaluation board with PC monitor software
plus Assembler, Linker, Simulator and PROM Splitter software.
T he ADSP-21xx EZ-K IT Lite is a low cost, easy to use hardware
platform on which you can quickly get started with your DSP soft-
ware design. T he EZ-K IT Lite includes the following features:
33 MHz ADSP-2181
Full 16-bit Stereo Audio I/O with AD1847 SoundPort

Codec
RS-232 Interface to PC with Microsoft
Windows 3.1
Control Software
EZ-ICE
* Connector for Emulator Control
DSP Demo Programs
T he ADSP-218x EZ-ICE
* Emulator aids in the hardware
debugging of an ADSP-2186 system. T he emulator consists of
hardware, host computer resident software, and the target board
connector. T he ADSP-2186 integrates on-chip emulation sup-
port with a 14-pin ICE-Port * interface. T his interface pro-
vides a simpler target board connection that requires fewer
mechanical clearance considerations than other ADSP-2100
Family EZ-ICE
*s. T he ADSP-2186 device need not be re-
moved from the target system when using the EZ-ICE
*, nor
are any adapters needed. Due to the small footprint of the
EZ-ICE
* connector, emulation can be supported in final board
designs.
T he EZ-ICE
* performs a full range of functions, including:
In-target operation
Up to 20 breakpoints
Single-step or full-speed operation
Registers and memory values can be examined and altered
PC upload and download functions
Instruction-level emulation of program booting and execution
Complete assembly and disassembly of instructions
C source-level debugging

T he ADSP-2186 instruction set provides flexible data moves
and multifunction (one or two data moves with a computation)
instructions. Every instruction can be executed in a single pro-
cessor cycle. T he ADSP-2186 assembly language uses an alge-
braic syntax for ease of coding and readability. A comprehensive
set of development tools supports program development.

Figure 1. Block Diagram
Figure 1 is an overall block diagram of the ADSP-2186. T he
processor contains three independent computational units: the
ALU, the multiplier/accumulator (MAC) and the shifter. T he
computational units process 16-bit data directly and have provi-
sions to support multiprecision computations. T he ALU per-
forms a standard set of arithmetic and logic operations; division
primitives are also supported. T he MAC performs single-cycle
multiply, multiply/add and multiply/subtract operations with
40 bits of accumulation. T he shifter performs logical and arith-
metic shifts, normalization, denormalization and derive expo-
nent operations.
