DESCRIPTION
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE PINS
Parallel address bus A22 (MSB) through A0 (LSB). The lower sixteen address pins—A0 to A15—are
multiplexed to address all external memory (program, data) or I/O, while the upper seven address
pins—A22 to A16—are only used to address external program space. These pins are placed in the
high-impedance state when the hold mode is enabled, or when OFF is low.

These pins can be used to address internal memory via the HPI when the HPI16 pin
is high.
(LSB)
(MSB)
I/O
Parallel data bus D15 (MSB) through D0 (LSB). The sixteen data pins, D0 to D15,
are multiplexed to transfer data between the core CPU and external data/program
memory, I/O devices, or HPI in 16-bit mode. The data bus is placed in the
high-impedance state when not outputting or when RS or HOLD is asserted. The
data bus also goes into the high-impedance state when OFF is low.
The data bus includes bus holders to reduce the static power dissipation caused by
floating, unused pins. The bus holders also eliminate the need for external bias
resistors on unused pins. When the data bus is not being driven by the DSP, the bus
holders keep the pins at the logic level that was most recently driven. The data bus
holders of the DSP are disabled at reset, and can be enabled/disabled via the BH bit
of the BSCR.

INITIALIZATION, INTERRUPT, AND RESET PINS
IACK
O/Z
Interrupt acknowledge signal. IACK Indicates receipt of an interrupt and that the program counter is fetching
the interrupt vector location designated by A15–0. IACK also goes into the high-impedance state when OFF
is low.
External user interrupt inputs. INT0–3 are prioritized and maskable via the interrupt mask register and
interrupt mode bit. The status of these pins can be polled by way of the interrupt flag register.

NMI
I
I
Nonmaskable interrupt. NMI is an external interrupt that cannot be masked by way of the INTM or the IMR.
When NMI is activated, the processor traps to the appropriate vector location.
