DSP56303 Overview

1.9 Peripherals

In addition to the core features, the DSP56303 provides the following peripherals:

As many as 34 user-configurable GPIO signals

HI08 to external hosts

Dual ESSI

SCI

Triple timer module

Memory switch mode

Four external interrupt/mode control lines

1.9.1 GPIO Functionality

The GPIO port consists of up to 34 programmable signals, also used by the peripherals (HI08,

ESSI, SCI, and timer). There are no dedicated GPIO signals. After a reset, the signals are

automatically configured as GPIO. Three memory-mapped registers per peripheral control GPIO

functionality. Programming techniques for these registers to control GPIO functionality are

detailed in Chapter 5, Programming the Peripherals.

1.9.2 HI08

The HI08 is a byte-wide, full-duplex, double-buffered parallel port that can connect directly to

the data bus of a host processor. The HI08 supports a variety of buses and provides connection

with a number of industry-standard DSPs, microcomputers, and microprocessors without

requiring any additional logic. The DSP core treats the HI08 as a memory-mapped peripheral

occupying eight 24-bit words in data memory space. The DSP can use the HI08 as a

memory-mapped peripheral, using either standard polled or interrupt programming techniques.

Separate double-buffered transmit and receive data registers allow the DSP and host processor to

transfer data efficiently at high speed. Memory mapping allows you to program DSP core

communication with the HI08 registers using standard instructions and addressing modes.

1.9.3 ESSI

The DSP56303 provides two independent and identical ESSIs. Each ESSI has a full-duplex serial

port for communication with a variety of serial devices, including one or more industry-standard

codecs, other DSPs, microprocessors, and peripherals that implement the Freescale SPI. The

ESSI consists of independent transmitter and receiver sections and a common ESSI clock

generator. ESSI capabilities include the following:

Independent (asynchronous) or shared (synchronous) transmit and receive sections with

separate or shared internal/external clocks and frame syncs

Normal mode operation using frame sync
