Description
The ATSAM9708 is a 128-voice integrated synthesizer, integrating two PDSP blocks and a memory management unit (MMU). One PDSP block is a combination of a specialized 64-slot RISC-based digital signal processor (DSP), a general-purpose 16-bit CISC-based control processor (P16), a cache memory and an "intelligent" peripheral I/O interface. Both PDSPs are fully independent and share the same external memory through the MMU.

DSP RISC Signal Processor
Each of the two DSP engines operates on a frame-timing basis with the frame subdivided into 64 process slots. Each process is itself divided into 16 micro-instructions known as "algorithms". Up to 32 different DSP algorithms can be stored on-chip in each DSP private Alg RAM memory, allowing the device to be programmed for a number of audio signal generation/processing applications. Each DSP engine is capable of generating 64 simultaneous voices using algorithms such as wavetable synthesis with interpolation, alternate loop and 24 dB resonant filtering for each voice, for a total polyphony of 128 voices. Slots may be linked together (ML RAM) to allow implementation of more complex synthesis algorithms. Each DSP also includes a 20 x 16 pipelined two's complement multiplier, a 28-bit pipelined adder and eight 24-bit final accumulators. A typical application uses around 75% of the capacity of the DSP engines for synthesis, thus providing a minimum of 96-voice wavetable polyphony. The remaining processing power is used for typical function like reverberation, chorus, direct sound, surround effect, equalizer, etc. Frequently-accessed DSP parameter data are stored in 5 banks of on-chip RAM memory for each DSP. Sample data or delay lines, which are accessed relatively infrequently, are stored in external ROM, SRAM, DRAM or SDRAM memory. The combination of localized micro-program memory and localized parameter data allows microinstructions to execute in 20 ns (50 MIPS) on each DSP. Separate buses from each of the on-chip parameter RAM memory banks allow highly parallel data movement to increase the effectiveness of each micro-instruction. With this architecture, a single micro-instruction can accomplish up to 6 simultaneous operations (add, multiply, load, store, etc.), providing a total potential throughput of 600 million operations per second (MOPS).
P16 Control Processor and I/O Functions
Each of the two P16 control processors is a general-purpose 16-bit CISC processor core, that runs from external memory. A boot/macro ROM is included on-chip to accelerate commonly executed routines and to allow the use of RAM only devices for the external memory. Each P16 also includes 256 words of local RAM data memory. Each P16 control processor writes to the parameter RAM blocks within its associated DSP in order to control the synthesis process. In a typical application, the P16 control processor parses and interprets incoming commands from the MIDI UART or from the parallel 16-bit interface and then controls the DSP by writing into the parameter RAM banks of its associated DSP core. Slowly-changing synthesis functions, such as LFOs, are implemented in the P16 control processor by periodically updating the DSP parameter RAM variables. Each P16 control processor interfaces with other private peripheral devices, such as the system control and status registers, the on-chip MIDI UART, the on-chip timers and the ISA PC 16-bit interface through specialized "intelligent" peripheral I/O logic. This I/O logic automates many of the system I/O transfers to minimize the amount of overhead processing required from the P16. The parallel interface is implemented using three address lines (A2, A1, A0), a chip select signal, read and write strobes from the host and a 16-bit data bus (PC_D0 PC_D15). This data bus cannot drive the PC bus directly. External buffers and an external decoder (PAL) or plug and play IC are required to map the 16-bit I/O addresses and AEN from the PC into the three address lines and chip select from the ATSAM9708.

1772D-DRMSD-01/04
The PDSP#1 responds on addresses 0 to 3 (A2A1A0 = 0XX), while PDSP#2 responds on addresses 4 to 7 (A2A1A0 = 1XX). Each PDSP parallel interface supports a byte-wide I/O interface and a 16-bit port dedicated to burst transfers. The byte-wide I/O interface is normally used to implement a MPU-401 UART-mode compatible interface. It is specified by address A1A0 = 0X, address 00 being the data register, address 01 being the status/control registers. Besides the standard two status bits of the MPU-401, two additional bits are provided to expand the MPU-401 protocol. Address A1A0 = 10 specifies a 16-bit I/O port. It is mainly used for burst audio transfers to/from the PC using very efficient PC instructions like REP OUTSW or REP INSW which operate at maximum ISA bus bandwidth. This port may also be used for fast program or sound bank uploads.
DSP Cache RAM
The memory management unit (MMU) allows external ROM and/or RAM memory resources to be shared between the two DSPs and the two P16 control processors. This allows a single device (i.e., DRAM) to serve as sample memory storage/delay lines for the DSPs and as program storage/data memory for the P16 control processors. The DSP cache RAM allows a dramatic reduction in the traffic with the external ROM/RAM, allowing use of standard 90 ns ROM parts with sampling frequencies up to 48 kHz. Average access request rate to external memory is only one for every two frames for each slot, which gives 64 accesses per synthesis frame. The MMU can provide up to 169 memory accesses per frame, which leaves over 100 accesses free per frame to be used by the P16 processors. This means that under full 128-voice polyphony traffic conditions, each P16 instruction average execution time is around 400 ns at 48 kHz sampling frequency. 128-voice polyphony can be assured only when all samples are played at nominal frequency or down-transposed. Simultaneously playing a large number of up-transposed samples can adversely affect polyphony. For more details of possible polyphony for a given application, please refer to the application note "ATSAM9708 Memory Management Unit".

Timing Diagrams
All timing conditions: VCC = 5V, VC3 = 3.3V, tA = 25C; signals PC_READY, I/O CS16, D0 - D15 with 220 ohms pull-up, 30 pF capacitance; signal PC_IRQ with 470 ohms pulldown, 30 pF capacitance; all other outputs except X2 and LFT load capacitance = 30 pF. All timings refer to tCK, which is the internal master clock period. The internal master clock frequency is 4 times the frequency at pin X1; therefore, tCK = tXTAL/4. The sampling rate is given by 1/(tCK * 1024). The maximum crystal frequency/clock frequency at X1 is 12.288 MHz (48 kHz sampling rate). Figure 3. Host Interface Read Cycle

External Memory Timing
External Memory Overview
The following memories can be connected to the ATSAM9708: * * * * ROM or Flash memories, 16 bits wide Static RAMs, 8 bits or 16 bits wide DRAMs, 16 bits wide SDRAMs, 16 bits wide
DRAMs and SDRAMs cannot be connected at the same time. The type of dynamic RAM connection is determined at power-up by sensing the level of pins RAS and CAS (see Table 4 on page 4 and "Memory Type Configuration and Boot Configuration" on page 26). Eight-bit wide static RAM can be connected using the additional Ram Byte Select (RBS) address signal. RBS allows access to two bytes of SRAM within one regular memory cycle, thereby providing 16 bits of data. Eight-bit wide SRAM can be connected only under control of WCS1. The selection 8 bits/16 bits is done by firmware. ROM and static RAMs use linear addressing (address lines WA0 to WA26). DRAM and SDRAMs use time-multiplexed addressing with a ROW/COL scheme (address lines DRA0 to DRA11). Additionally, SDRAMs use the DRA0/DRA11 lines for configuration and the DRA10 line for auto precharge. ROM/SRAMs and DRAM/SDRAM address line share the same pins of the ATSAM9708. The timing is determined by the input signal DRAM. If DRAM is high at the beginning of a memory cycle, this indicates DRAM/SDRAM access. If only one type of memory is connected (i.e., SDRAM), then the DRAM signal can be hardwired. Otherwise, it should be derived from an external decoding of high-order address lines.

1772D-DRMSD-01/04
External Memory Timing Overview
One memory cycle consists of six internal master clock cycles (6 x tCK). The internal master clock period is one-fourth of the clock period at X1. The internal master clock is provided at pin CK_OUT when external SDRAM is connected (RAS sensed high during RESET). Basic notes on SDRAM timing: * * * * * RESET should be held low at least 100 s (SDRAM timing requirement on idle cycles) SDRAM mode is fixed to sequential, burst length = 1, CAS latency 2, standard operation, programmed write burst length. SDRAM cycles for read: NOP - ACTIVE - NOP - READ AUTO PRECHARGE - NOP - NOP. SDRAM cycles for write: NOP - ACTIVE - NOP - WRITE AUTO PRECHARGE NOP - NOP SDRAM cycles for refresh: NOP - AUTO REFRESH - NOP - NOP - NOP - NOP

The following points should be noted: * The multiplexed CAS, RAS addressing can support memory DRAM chips up to 16 Mbits x N as long as the number of row address lines and column address lines are identical. For example, device type 416C1200 is supported because it is a 1M x 16 organization with 10-bit row and 10-bit column. Device type 416C1000 is not supported because it is a 1M x 16 organization with 12-bit row and 8-bit column. The signal WOE is normally not used for DRAM connection. It is represented only for reference purposes.

* As RAS only counter refresh method is employed, several banks of DRAMs can be connected using simple external CAS decoding. Linear address lines (WAx) can be used to select between DRAM banks. For example, a 1M x 32 SIMM module may be connected as two 1M x 16 banks, with CAS0 and CAS1 selections issued from CAS and WA20. During a whole DRAM cycle (from RAS low to CAS rising), WCS0 is asserted low. The equivalence between multiplexed DRAM address lines (DRA0 to DRA11) and the corresponding linear addressing (WA0 to WA23) is as follows:
DRA11 RAS time CAS time WA22 WA23 DRA10 WA20 WA21 DRA9 WA18 WA19 DRA8 WA8 WA17 DRA7 WA7 WA16 DRA6 WA6 WA15 DRA5 WA5 WA14 DRA4 WA4 WA13 DRA3 WA3 WA12 DRA2 WA2 WA11 DRA1 WA1 WA10 DRA0 WA0 WA9

To save DRAM power consumption, CAS and RAS are cycled only when necessary. Therefore, depending on firmware loaded, total board power consumption may increase with synthesis processing traffic.

Audio Routing
Each PDSP can process eight digital audio inputs and generate eight digital audio outputs for a total of 16 digital audio-in and 16 digital audio-out. The eight outputs from DSP#2 can be individually routed on DSP#1 inputs. Figure 19. Audio Routing

Alternatively, MIDI1_IN can be routed as the same MIDI input to both PDSPs. In this case, the MIDI2_IN is available as a general-purpose input.

Bi-processor Operation
Each PDSP has access to the same memory space. Sample data, buffers and programs can therefore be shared between the two PDSPs, thus minimizing memory requirements. Each P16 has the possibility to test a read-only bit that identifies the PDSP number it belongs to (PDSPID). This allows the firmware to make decisions according to the processor currently executing the code. As an example, consider implementation of a 128-voice synthesizer. An easy way to share traffic between the two PDSPs would be to have PDSP#1 process even MIDInumbered notes, while the PDSP#2 would process odd MIDI-numbered notes. In this case, there would only be a single firmware processed by both P16s, with some coding as follows:
If (PDSPID == 0 && noteeven) then ProcessNote(); If (PDSPID == 1 && noteodd) then ProcessNote();
The two PDSPs may also execute completely different firmware. In this case, as both types of firmware start from address 100H, a test on PDSPID should be done at the beginning of the program to jump to the correct firmware.
Reset and Powerdown
During power-up, the RESET input should be held low until the crystal oscillator and PLL are stabilized. This may take about 20 ms. The RESET signal is normally derived from the PC master reset. However, a typical RC/diode power-up network can also be used for some applications. After the low-to-high transition of RESET, the following occurs: * If REFRESH is sampled high at the low to high transition of RESET then the external SDRAM init cycles are executed (see "Memory Type Configuration and Boot Configuration" on page 26). Both Synthesis/DSP enter an idle state. If REFRESH is low, then both P16 program execution starts from address 0100H in ROM space (WCS0 low). If REFRESH is high, then both P16 program execution starts from address 0000H in internal bootstrap ROM space. Each internal bootstrap expects to receive 256 words from its respective 16-bit burst transfer port, which will be stored from 0100H
* * *
25
1772D-DRMSD-01/04
to 01FFH into the external DRAM space. The bootstrap then resumes control at address 0100H. * If PDWN is asserted low, then all I/Os and outputs will be floated and the crystal oscillator and PLL will be stopped. The chip enters a deep power-down sleep mode. To exit power down, PDWN has to be asserted high, then RESET applied.
Memory Type Configuration and Boot Configuration
At the end of power-up, when RESET input goes from low to high, RAS, CAS and REFRESH pins are sampled by the ATSAM9708 to determine memory type configuration and boot type. RAS, CAS and REFRESH must be pulled to VCC or GND through an external 10K resistor to select these different power-up configurations. One memory type can be used for low pages (addresses [0-8000000h], AD[27] = 0) and a different type for high pages (addresses [8000000h-10000000h]). Memory types allowed are Flash/ROM, SRAM, DRAM or SDRAM. When using RAM (SRAM, DRAM or SDRAM) in low page, P16 must start in bootstrap state. When in bootstrap state, P16 program execution starts at address 0. If not in bootstrap, program execution starts at address 100h. Bootstrap is selected via the REFRESH pin.

Selected by firmware
1. When accessing DRAM or SDRAM, DRAM/SDRAM is selected by signals RAS and CAS (WCS0 and WCS1 are inactive) and addresses are time-multiplexed on WA[..] pins as follows: * WA0 - WA8: DRA0 - DRA8 * WA18: DRA9 * WA20: DRA10 * WA22: DRA11 When accessing SRAM, Flash or ROM, SRAM/Flash/ROM are selected by signals WCS0, WCS1 (RAS and CAS are inactive) and WA[26:0] address pins: * if low pages: WCS0 = 0, WCS1 = 1 * if high pages: WCS0 = 1, WCS1 = 0

Recommended Board Layout
GND, VCC, VC3 Distribution, Decouplings
Like all HCMOS high-integration ICs, some rules of board layout should be followed for reliable device operation: All GND, VCC, VC3 pins should be connected. GND and VCC planes are strongly recommended below the ATSAM9708. The board GND and VCC distribution should be in grid form. If 3.3V is not available, then VC3 can be connected to VCC by two 1N4148 diodes in series. Recommended decoupling is 0.1 F at each corner of the IC with an additional 10 F decoupling close to the crystal. VC3 requires a single 0.1F decoupling close to the IC.
Crystal, LFT
The paths between the crystal, the crystal compensation capacitors, the LFT filter R-CR and the ATSAM9708 should be short and shielded. The ground return from the compensation capacitors and LFT filter should be the GND plane from ATSAM9708. Parallel layout from PC_D[15:0] and DRA[11:0]/WD[15:0] should be avoided. The PC_D[15:0] bus is an asynchronous high-transient current-type bus. Even on short distances, it can induce pulses on DRA[11:0]/WD[15:0] which can corrupt addresses and/or data on these buses. A ground plane should be implemented below the PC_D[15:0] bus, which connects both to the PC-ISA connector and to the ATSAM9708 GND. A ground plane should be implemented below the DRA[11:0]/WD[15:0] bus, which connects both to the DRAM SIMM grounds and to the ATSAM9708.
Buses
Analog Section
A specific AGND ground plane should be provided, which connects to the GND ground by a single trace. No digital signals should cross the AGND plane. Refer to the Codec vendor recommended layout for correct implementation of the analog section.
