ADSP-BF606/ADSP-BF607/ADSP-BF608/ADSP-BF609
The PVP can form a pipe of all the constituent algorithmic
modules and is dynamically reconfigurable to form different
pipeline structures.
The PVP supports the simultaneous processing of up to four
data streams. The memory pipe stream operates on data
received by DMA from any L1, L2, or L3 memory. The three
camera pipe streams operate on a common input received
directly from any of the three PPI inputs. Optionally, the PIXC
can convert color data received by the PPI and forward luma
values to the PVP’s monochrome engine. Each stream has a
dedicated DMA output. This preprocessing concept ensures
careful use of available power and bandwidth budgets and frees
up the processor cores for other tasks.
The PVP provides for direct core MMR access to all control/sta-
tus registers. Two hardware interrupts interface to the system
event controller. For optimal performance, the PVP allows reg-
ister programming through its control DMA interface, as well as
outputting selected status registers through the status DMA
interface. This mechanism enables the PVP to automatically
process job lists completely independent of the Blackfin cores.
Pixel Compositor (PIXC)
The pixel compositor (PIXC) provides image overlays with
transparent-color support, alpha blending, and color space con-
version capabilities for output to TFT LCDs and NTSC/PAL
video encoders. It provides all of the control to allow two data
streams from two separate data buffers to be combined,
blended, and converted into appropriate forms for both LCD
panels and digital video outputs. The main image buffer pro-
vides the basic background image, which is presented in the
data stream. The overlay image buffer allows the user to add
multiple foreground text, graphics, or video objects on top of
the main image or video data stream.
Parallel Peripheral Interface (PPI)
The processor provides up to three parallel peripheral interfaces
(PPIs), supporting data widths up to 24 bits. The PPI supports
direct connection to TFT LCD panels, parallel analog-to-digital
and digital-to-analog converters, video encoders and decoders,
image sensor modules and other general-purpose peripherals.
The following features are supported in the PPI module:
• A 32-bit threshold block with 16 thresholds, a histogram,
• Two 32-bit integral blocks that support regular and diago-

PROCESSOR SAFETY FEATURES
The ADSP-BF609 processor has been designed for functional
safety applications. While the level of safety is mainly domi-
nated by the system concept, the following primitives are
provided by the devices to build a robust safety concept.
Dual Core Supervision
The processor has been implemented as dual-core devices to
separate critical tasks to large independency. Software models
support mutual supervision of the cores in symmetrical fashion.
Multi-Parity-Bit-Protected L1 Memories
In the processor’s L1 memory space, whether SRAM or cache,
each word is protected by multiple parity bits to detect the single
event upsets that occur in all RAMs. This applies both to L1
instruction and data memory spaces.
ECC-Protected L2 Memories
Error correcting codes (ECC) are used to correct single event
upsets. The L2 memory is protected with a Single Error Correct-
Double Error Detect (SEC-DED) code. By default ECC is
enabled, but it can be disabled on a per-bank basis. Single-bit
errors are transparently corrected. Dual-bit errors can issue a
system event or fault if enabled. ECC protection is fully trans-
parent to the user, even if L2 memory is read or written by 8-bit
or 16-bit entities.
CRC-Protected Memories
While parity bit and ECC protection mainly protect against ran-
dom soft errors in L1 and L2 memory cells, the CRC engines can
be used to protect against systematic errors (pointer errors) and
static content (instruction code) of L1, L2 and even L3 memo-
ries (DDR2, LPDDR). The processors feature two CRC engines
which are embedded in the memory-to-memory DMA control-
lers. CRC check sums can be calculated or compared on the fly
during memory transfers, or one or multiple memory regions
can be continuously scrubbed by single DMA work unit as per
DMA descriptor chain instructions. The CRC engine also pro-
tects data loaded during the boot process.
