Analog Devices ADSP-21262 SHARC Embedded Processor Handbook
This handbook describes the ADSP-21262 SHARC DSP, a high‑performance 32‑bit/40‑bit floating‑point processor with SIMD architecture. It outlines the core architecture, on‑chip memory, I/O interfaces, and peripheral features such as serial ports, SPI, and the Digital Applications Interface.
The document includes functional block diagrams, pin configurations for BGA and LQFP packages, performance benchmarks, electrical characteristics, and ordering information. It is intended for engineers designing with the ADSP-21262 and for users needing detailed technical data and configuration guidance.
