About This Manual
This document describes the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) interface peripheral in the TMS320DM36x
Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC).
Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions.
•
Hexadecimal numbers are shown with the suffix h. For example, the following number is 40
hexadecimal (decimal 64): 40h.
•
Registers in this document are shown in figures and described in tables.
–
Each register figure shows a rectangle divided into fields that represent the fields of the register.
Each field is labeled with its bit name, its beginning and ending bit numbers above, and its
read/write properties below. A legend explains the notation used for the properties.
–
Reserved bits in a register figure designate a bit that is used for future device expansion.

This document describes the ARM Subsystem in the TMS320DM36x Digital Media System-on-Chip
(DMSoC). The ARM subsystem is designed to give the ARM926EJ-S (ARM9) master control of the
device. In general, the ARM is responsible for configuration and control of the device; including the
components of the ARM Subsystem, the peripherals, and the external memories.

document describes the operation of the software-programmable 64-bit timers in the
TMS320DM36x Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). Timer 0, Timer 1, and Timer 3 are used
as general-purpose (GP) timers and can be programmed in 64-bit mode, dual 32-bit unchained
mode, or dual 32-bit chained mode; Timer 2 is used only as a watchdog timer. The GP timer modes
can be used to generate periodic interrupts or enhanced direct memory access (EDMA)
synchronization events and Real Time Output (RTO) events (Timer 3 only). The watchdog timer
mode is used to provide a recovery mechanism for the device in the event of a fault condition, such
as a non-exiting code loop.
Users Guide This document describes the serial peripheral interface (SPI) in the TMS320DM36x
Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). The SPI is a high-speed synchronous serial input/output
port that allows a serial bit stream of programmed length (1 to 16 bits) to be shifted into and out of
the device at a programmed bit-transfer rate. The SPI is normally used for communication between
the DMSoC and external peripherals. Typical applications include an interface to external I/O or
peripheral expansion via devices such as shift registers, display drivers, SPI EPROMs and
analog-to-digital converters.
