The Blackfin® Processor family has been expanded to address the ever-increasing need for more connection possibilities. This connectivity is coupled with the high performance 16-/32-bit Blackfin embedded processor core, the flexible cache architecture, the enhanced DMA subsystem, and the Dynamic Power Management (DPM) functionality. System designers can take advantage of the combined control and signal processing capabilities of the processor core across a wide range of end applications through code compatibility of these new family members with existing Blackfin offerings.The ADSP-BF538F processors are a functional extension of the popular ADSP-BF533 processor, and they are ideally suited for applications with multiple device connections. The ADSP-BF538F is equivalent in functionality to the ADSP-BF538 processor with the exception of the addition of onboard FLASH memory. Ideally suited for a broad range of industrial, instrumentation and medical appliance applications—allowing for broad connection possibilities coupled with a mix of control and signal processing needs based on the end product. Designed for Embedded DevelopmentA new addition to the Blackfin Processor family is the inclusion of integrated FLASH memory alongside the processor. There are two choices available in the ADSP-BF538F family, one with 512KB of onboard FLASH memory and one with 1MB of onboard FLASH memory. Both offer large code space for complex embedded systems and fast access time to the Blackfin core. This is in addition to the complementary Blackfin processor memory system that offers a powerful and flexible cache architecture that can dynamically balance between the hard real-time tasks desired in SRAM and soft real-time control tasks and an Operating System (OS) requiring cache functionality.
