PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing and developing systems using the
ADSP-21367/8/9 and ADSP-2137x SHARC® processors from Analog
Devices.
Purpose of This Manual
The ADSP-21368 SHARC Processor Hardware Reference contains informa-
tion about the architecture and assembly language for ADSP-21367/8/9
and ADSP-2137x. These are 32-bit, fixed- and floating-point digital sig-
nal processors from Analog Devices for use in computing,
communications, and consumer applications.
The manual provides information on the processor’s I/O architecture and
the operation of the peripherals associated with each model.
Intended Audience
The primary audience for this manual is a programmer who is familiar
with Analog Devices processors. This manual assumes that the audience
has a working knowledge of the appropriate processor architecture and
instruction set. Programmers who are unfamiliar with Analog Devices
processors can use this manual, but should supplement it with other texts
(such as the appropriate hardware reference manuals and data sheets) that
describe your target architecture.
