Shared Peripheral Bus

Introduction
The Shared Peripheral Bus module performs arbitration between the two DSP cores, to convert
transactions issued on the Shared Bus to Shared Peripheral Bus transactions, and to integrate other internal
device circuits with the Shared Peripheral bus interfaces. Both DSP cores use the Shared Peripheral Bus
to access the shared peripherals.
shows how the Shared Peripheral Bus fits into the
DSP56724/DSP56725 device.

Features
Shared Peripheral Bus features include:
•
Two arbitration methods are used:
— Fixed arbitration
— Round-robin arbitration
•
Specific arbitration methods for continuous transfers for DSP Cores and DMAs
•
Fire and forget single write accesses
•
No additional delays are introduced when converting Shared Bus access to Shared Peripheral Bus
access. Most accesses compete with zero wait states (in addition to any delays added by the shared
peripheral and arbitration).
