SD

0

Stop Delay Mode

 

 

 

Determines the length of the delay invoked when the core exits the Stop

 

 

 

state. The STOP instruction suspends core processing indefinitely until a

 

 

 

defined event occurs to restart it. If SD is cleared, a 128K clock cycle

 

 

 

delay is invoked before a STOP instruction cycle continues. However, if

 

 

 

SD is set, the delay before the instruction cycle continues is 16 clock

 

 

 

cycles. The long delay allows a clock stabilization period for the internal

 

 

 

clock to begin oscillating and to stabilize. When a stable external clock is

 

 

 

used, the shorter delay allows faster start-up of the DSP56300 core.

Reserved. Write to zero for future compatibility.

EBD

0

External Bus Disable

 

 

 

Disables the external bus controller to reduce power consumption when

 

 

 

external memories are not used. When EBD is set, the external bus

 

 

 

controller is disabled and external memory cannot be accessed. When

 

 

 

EBD is cleared, the external bus controller is enabled and external access

 

 

 

can be performed. Hardware reset clears the EBD bit.

Chip Operating Mode

 

 

 

Indicate the operating mode of the DSP56300 core. On hardware reset,

 

 

 

these bits are loaded from the external mode select pins, MODD, MODC,

 

 

 

MODB, and MODA, respectively. After the DSP56300 core leaves the

 

 

 

Reset state, MD–MA can be changed under program control.

 

 

 

Note: The MD–MA bits reflect the corresponding value of the mode

 

 

 

input (that is, MODD–MODA), respectively.

 

 

 

 

4.4Configuring Interrupts

DSP56301 interrupt handling, like that for all DSP56300 family members, is optimized for DSP applications. Refer to the sections describing interrupts in Chapter 2, Core Architecture Overview, in the DSP56300 Family Manual. Two registers are used to configure the interrupt characteristics:

νInterrupt Priority Register Core (IPRC)—Programmed to configure the priority levels for the core DMA interrupts and the external interrupt lines as well as the interrupt line trigger modes

νInterrupt Priority Register Peripherals (IPRP)—Programmed to configure the priority levels for the interrupts used with the on-chip peripheral devices

The interrupt table resides in the 256 locations of program memory to which the PCU vector base address (VBA) register points. These locations store the starting instructions of the interrupt handler for each specified interrupt. The memory is programmed by the bootstrap program at startup.
