Reset Signal Description
D0–D7 Input/Output Tri-stated Data Bus—D0–D7 are active-high, bidirectional input/outputs that provide the
bidirectional data bus for external program and data memory accesses. D0–D7
are tri-stated during hardware reset and when the DSP is in the stop or wait
low-power standby mode.

AA0–AA1/R
AS0–RAS1
Output Tri-stated Address Attribute or Row Address Strobe—When defined as AA, these
signals can be used as chip selects or additional address lines. When defined as
RAS, these signals can be used as RAS for DRAM interface. These signals are
tri-statable outputs with programmable polarity. These signals are tri-stated
during hardware reset and when the DSP is in the stop or wait low-power standby
mode.
CAS Output Tri-stated Column Address Strobe— CAS is an active-low output used by DRAM to strobe
the column address. This signal is tri-stated during hardware reset and when the
DSP is in the stop or wait low-power standby mode.
