Analog Devices EE-201 ADSP-TS20x TigerSHARC Processor On-Chip SDRAM Controller Technical Notes
This Engineer-to-Engineer Note introduces the characteristics of the on-chip SDRAM controller found in the ADSP-TS20x TigerSHARC processor family. Although primarily based on the ADSP-TS201, it provides a list highlighting differences between derivatives such as the ADSP-TS202 and ADSP-TS203.
The document details the internal signal chain, address-mapping schemes, command truth tables for SDRAM execution, and power-up sequences. It also includes timing overviews, supported SDRAM device types, register descriptions (SYSCON, SDRCON), and optimization rules for performance.
