Analog Devices ADSP-BF536/ADSP-BF537 Datasheet
The ADSP-BF536 and ADSP-BF537 are members of Analog Devices' Blackfin family, combining a high‑performance DSP core with a RISC‑like instruction set. They offer up to 600 MHz core frequency, dual 16‑bit MACs, dual 40‑bit ALUs, and extensive on‑chip memory for embedded applications.
The devices integrate a rich set of peripherals—including 10/100 Ethernet MAC, CAN 2.0B, two UARTs, SPI, TWI, dual SPORTs, nine 32‑bit timers, GPIO, RTC, and watchdog—plus flexible boot options and dynamic power management. Package options include 182‑ball MBGA and 208‑ball Sparse MBGA, supporting up to 516 MB of external memory.
