Signals/Connections

The DSP56301 input and output signals are organized into functional groups, as shown in Table 2-1. Two different configurations are illustrated in Figure 2-1and Figure 2-2. The difference between these two configurations is the host port functionality. Although the DSP56301 operates from a 3.3 volt supply, some of the input pins can tolerate 5 volts. A special notice for this feature is added to the description of these pins.
