FFT Accelerator
6-26 ADSP-214xx SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
Horizontal FFT Configuration
13.Once the last DMA in Step 10 completes, configure a coefficient 
DMA to read 2H twiddle factors from the horizontal coeff buffer 
into the accelerator.
14.Once the DMA in Step 12 completes, configure a data DMA 
(chained or via interrupt) to read 2N – 1 data points from special 
buffer into the accelerator with a modify value = 2V and a circular 
buffer length of 2N – 1. Chain a data DMA of count = 1 that reads 
the last imaginary point.
15.Configure a data DMA to write 2N–1 data points from the acceler-
ator into the output buffer with a modify value = 2V and a circular 
buffer length of 2N – 1. There is no need to wait until the DMA in 
Step 9 completes. Chain a data DMA of count = 1 that reads the 
last imaginary point.
16.Wait until the DMA in step 14 completes (by interrupt or polling). 
The computed FFT is now in the output buffer and the accelerator 
is in idle mode.
N >= 512, Repeat 
For details on the storage format of the coefficients see “Internal Memory 
Storage” on page 6-8.  
Transmit DMAs take place using input TCBs; receive DMAs take 
place using output TCBs.
1. Configure the 
ACCSEL bits in the PMCTL1 register to select the FFT 
accelerator.
2. Factor N = VH, where 16 ≤ V and 16 ≤ H. 
3. Set (=1) the FFT_RST bit in the FFTCTL1 register and wait for a min-
imum of 4 CCLK cycles.
