Features
• Up to 150 million multiply-accumulates per second (MMACS) (300 MMACS using the EFCOP in filtering
applications) with a 150 MHz clock at 1.8 V core and 3.3 V I/O
• Object code compatible with the DSP56000 core with highly parallel instruction set
• Data arithmetic logic unit (Data ALU) with fully pipelined 24 × 24-bit parallel Multiplier-Accumulator (MAC),
56-bit parallel barrel shifter (fast shift and normalization; bit stream generation and parsing), conditional
ALU instructions, and 24-bit or 16-bit arithmetic support under software control
• Program control unit (PCU) with position-independent code (PIC) support, addressing modes optimized for
DSP applications (including immediate offsets), internal instruction cache controller, internal memoryexpandable
hardware stack, nested hardware DO loops, and fast auto-return interrupts
• Direct memory access (DMA) with six DMA channels supporting internal and external accesses; one-, two-
, and three-dimensional transfers (including circular buffering); end-of-block-transfer interrupts; and
triggering from interrupt lines and all peripherals
• Phase-lock loop (PLL) allows change of low-power divide factor (DF) without loss of lock and output clock
with skew elimination
• Hardware debugging support including on-chip emulation (OnCE‘) module, Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)
test access port (TAP)

Applications
DSP56311 applications require high performance, low power, small packaging, and a large amount of internal
memory. The EFCOP can accelerate general filtering applications. Examples include:
• Wireless and wireline infrastructure applications
• Multi-channel wireless local loop systems
• DSP resource boards
• High-speed modem banks
• IP telephony
