Internal (On-Chip) Memory
Blackfin processors support a modified Harvard architecture in The ADSP-BF534/ADSP-BF536/ADSP-BF537 processors have combination with a hierarchical memory structure. Level 1 (L1) three blocks of on-chip memory providing high-bandwidth memories are those that typically operate at the full processor access to the core. speed with little or no latency. At the L1 level, the instruction The first block is the L1 instruction memory, consisting of memory holds instructions only. The two data memories hold 64K bytes SRAM, of which 16K bytes can be configured as a data, and a dedicated scratchpad data memory stores stack and four-way set-associative cache. This memory is accessed at full local variable information. processor speed. In addition, multiple L1 memory blocks are provided, offering a The second on-chip memory block is the L1 data memory, con- configurable mix of SRAM and cache.

This memory block is accessed at full processor speed. registers from unintended access. The third memory block is a 4K byte scratchpad SRAM, which The architecture provides three modes of operation: user mode, runs at the same speed as the L1 memories, but is only accessible supervisor mode, and emulation mode. User mode has as data SRAM, and cannot be configured as cache memory. restricted access to certain system resources, thus providing a protected software environment, while supervisor mode has
