INTERNAL POWER DISSIPATION (5 V)
These specifications apply to the internal power portion of V
DD
only. For a complete discussion of the code used to measure 
power dissipation, see the technical note “SHARC Power Dissi-
pation Measurements.”
Specifications are based on the operating scenarios. 
To estimate power consumption for a specific application, use 
the following equation where % is the amount of time your pro-
gram spends in that state:
%PEAK I
DDINPEAK
 +%HIGH I
DDINHIGH
 +%LOW I

The test program used to measure I
DDINPEAK
 represents worst case processor operation and is not sustainable under normal application conditions. Actual internal power 
measurements made using typical applications are less than specified.
2
I
DDINHIGH
 is a composite average based on a range of high activity code. I
DDINLOW
 is a composite average based on a range of low activity code.
3
Idle denotes ADSP-2106x state during execution of IDLE instruction.
