Scalable Series: Room for Innovations Without Additional System Cost
Analog Devices is expanding its Blackfin product line with the ADSP-BF52x family, a scalable series of processors that are optimized for performancedemanding portable applications including portable multimedia players, VoIP phones, IP cameras and mobile TV devices.
Advancing the dynamic power management
capabilities of Blackfin® to achieve the line’s best power efficiency yet – as low as
0.16 mW/MHz (core power at 250 MHz) – these newest processors offer system designers
a breadth of choice with the ADSP-BF527/BF525/BF522 high-performance/
low-power devices operating at a clock rate
of 600 MHz, and an ultra-low-power series
running at up to 400 MHz. All processors of
the ADSP-BF52x family incorporate Blackfin® Lockbox Secure Technology™ to provide capabilities for implementing the next generation of security features on digital multimedia devices.
Integrated System Peripherals
To minimize bill-of-materials cost, development
time and board size, options for integrated
system peripherals on the Blackfin®
ADSP-BF52x processors include High Speed USB On-The-Go (OTG), 10/100 Ethernet, host DMA port, NAND flash controller, up to 48 general-purpose I/O (GPIO) ports, and more peripherals. Additionally, the ADSP-BF527C/BF525C/BF522C versions feature an embedded, low-power stereo audio codec for use in space-constrained applications such as multimedia players and IP phones.
Perfectly suited for today's and next generation portable devices
The range of the ADSP-BF52x family provides
developers a spectrum of choice to match the MIPS capacity, power consumption and price point suited to their particular applications.
With the USB port option, the ADSP-BF52x
media processor is geared to portable applications
such as premium audio players. Versions with fewer system peripherals are optimized for use as media co-processors. With its power-efficient signal processing and the availability of peripherals that enable glueless connectivity to Ethernet and WiFi 802.11a/b/g modules, the new
Blackfin® family provides capabilities welltargeted for battery-powered VoIP phones
and IP-connected cameras.
Lockbox Secure Technology™
Lockbox Secure Technology™ is a combination
of hardware and software mechanisms that provide the means for developers to implement
security measures that range from safeguarding secrets such as OEMs’ intellectual property, to verifying the identity of devices and users for protected e-commerce and social networking, to digital rights management (DRM) content protection. More specifically, Lockbox Secure Technology™ provides one-time programmable
(OTP) memory and a secure processing mode
(Blackfin® Secure Mode) to enable these
capabilities. Its public, non-secure area of
OTP memory is suited for storing public keys
to authenticate the system in a manner that
is controllable and configurable by the
developer. A private, secure area of OTP
memory lets developers program their own
private device assets such as private keys,
and maintain the confidentiality and integrity
of those assets.
