SHARC® 21469 EZ-KIT® and EZ-Board™ for SHARC Processors


Analog Devices and Digi-Key provide developers with a low-cost platform for evaluation


ADZS-21469 EZ-KIT/EZ-BoardEZ-KIT Lite® Evaluation Kit - The SHARC 21469 EZ-KIT Lite provides developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-2146x SHARC Processors via a USB-based, PC-hosted tool set. With this EZ-KIT Lite, users can learn more about Analog Devices' ADSP-21469 hardware and software development, and quickly prototype a wide range of applications. The EZ-KIT Lite includes an ADSP-21469 SHARC Processor desktop evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of the VisualDSP++® development and debugging environment, including the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. The evaluation suite of VisualDSP++® is designed to be used with the EZ-KIT Lite only. The kit also comes with a standalone debug agent board that is removable to allow a user to plug-in an external emulator.

EZ-Board™ Evaluation Board - The SHARC 21469 EZ-Board evaluation board provides developers with a low-cost platform for initial evaluation of the 2146x SHARC processors via an external emulator standalone debug agent board. To debug a Debug Agent Board or Emulator is needed. The EZ-Board has an expansion interface that allows for modularity with different EZ-Extender boards.

SHARC® Processor Features


The SHARC processor portfolio currently consists of four generations of products providing code-compatible solutions ranging from entry-level products to the highest performance products offering fixed- and floating-point computational power to 450 MHz/2700 MFLOPS. Irrespective of the specific product choice, all SHARC processors provide a common set of features and functionality usable across many signal processing markets and applications. This baseline functionality enables the SHARC user to leverage legacy code and design experience while transitioning to higher performance and more highly integrated SHARC products. By integrating on-chip, single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) processing elements, hardware accelerators for filter processing (FIR, IIR, and FFT), high speed DDR2 DRAM interface, SRAM, and I/O peripherals, SHARC processors deliver breakthrough signal processing performance.
  • High performance 32-bit floating-point/fixed-point core for computationally intensive, real-time signal processing applications
  • Hardware accelerators to offload FIR, IIR and FFT processing in fixed- and floating- point formats
  • ADI SHARC Processor
  • Ideal choice for home theater, pro-audio, industrial, automotive, and medical applications
  • High performance signal processing coupled with integrated system peripherals
  • SIMD architecture with integrated application-specific system peripherals
  • Byte-wide high speed link ports for data transport across SHARC processors
  • Exceptional core and memory performance with outstanding I/O throughput
  • Wide range of code-compatible and pin-compatible products
  • Supported by easy to use, world-class CROSSCORE® development tools
