DESCRIPTION
HOST PORT INTERFACE PINS
A0–A15
I
These pins can be used to address internal memory via the HPI when the HPI16 pin is HIGH.
D0–D15
I/O
These pins can be used to read/write internal memory via the HPI when the HPI16 pin is high. 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.
HD0–HD7
I/O/Z
Parallel bi-directional data bus. These pins can also be used as general-purpose I/O pins when the HPI16 pin
is high. HD0–HD7 is placed in the high-impedance state when not outputting data or when OFF is low. The
HPIdatabusincludesbusholderstoreducethestaticpowerdissipationcausedbyfloating,unusedpins.When
the HPI data bus is not being driven by the DSP, the bus holders keep the pins at the logic level that was most

of the BSCR.

I
Control inputs. These inputs select a host access to one of the three HPI registers. (Pullup only enabled when
HPIENA=0, HPI16=1)
HBIL
Byteidentificationinput.Identifiesfirstorsecondbyteoftransfer.(PulluponlyenabledwhenHPIENA=0,invalid
when HPI16=1)
HCS
Chip select input. This pin is the select input for the HPI, and must be driven low during accesses.
(Pullup only enabled when HPIENA=0, or HPI16=1)
HDS1
HDS2
Data strobe inputs. These pins are driven by the host read and write strobes to control transfers.
(Pullup only enabled when HPIENA=0)
HAS
Address strobe input. Address strobe input. Hosts with multiplexed address and data pins require this input,
to latch the address in the HPIA register. (Pull-up only enabled when HPIENA=0)
HR/W
HRDY
I
Read/write input. This input controls the direction of an HPI transfer. (Pullup only enabled when HPIENA=0)
O/Z
Ready output. The ready output informs the host when the HPI is ready for the next transfer. HRDY goes into
the high-impedance state when OFF is low.
HINT
O/Z
I
Interrupt output. This output is used to interrupt the host. When the DSP is in reset, this signal is driven
high. HINT can also be used for timer 1 output (TOUT1), when the HPI is disabled. The signal goes into the
high-impedance state when OFF is low. (invalid when HPI16=1)
HPIENA
HPI enable input. This pin must be driven high during reset to enable the HPI. An internal pulldown resistor
is always active and the HPIENA pin is sampled on the rising edge of RS. If HPIENA is left open or driven low
during reset, the HPI module is disabled. Once the HPI is disabled, the HPIENA pin has no effect until the DSP
is reset.
HPI16
I
HPI 16-bit Select Pin. HPI16=1 selects the non-multiplexed mode. The non-multiplexed mode allows hosts
with separate address/data buses to access the HPI address range via the 16 address pins A0–A15. 16-bit
Data is also accessible through pins D0–D15. HOST-to-DSP and DSP-to-HOST interrupts are not supported.
There are no HPIC and HPIA registers in the non-multiplexed mode since there are HCNTRL0,1 signals
available. Internally pulled low.
