POWER DISSIPATION
Total power dissipation has two components: one due to inter-
nal circuitry and one due to the switching of external output
drivers. Internal power dissipation depends on the sequence in
which instructions execute and the data operands involved. See
I
DDIN
calculation in Electrical Characteristics section. Internal
power dissipation is calculated this way:
P
INT
= I
DDIN
¥ V
DD
The external component of total power dissipation is caused by
the switching of output pins. Its magnitude depends on:
– the number of output pins that switch during each cycle (O)
– the maximum frequency at which the pins can switch (f)
– the load capacitance of the pins (C)
– the voltage swing of the pins (V
DD
).
The external component is calculated using:
P
EXT
= O ¥ C ¥ V
DD
2
¥ f
The load capacitance should include the processor’s package
capacitance (C
IN
). The frequency f includes driving the load
high and then back low. Address and data pins can drive high
and low at a maximum rate of 1/t
CK
while in SDRAM burst
mode.
Example:
Estimate P
EXT
with the following assumptions:
–a system with one bank of external memory (32-bit)
–two 1M ¥ 16 SDRAM chips, each with a control signal load
of 3 pF and a data signal load of 4 pF
– external data writes occur in burst mode, two every 1/t
CK
cycles, a potential frequency of 1/t
CK
cycles/s. Assume 50%
pin switching
– the external SDRAM clock rate is 60 MHz (2/t
CK
).
The P
EXT
equation is calculated for each class of pins that can
drive:

SDRAM CLK 1 – ¥ 10.7 ¥ 30 MHz ¥ 10.9 V = 0.007 W
P
EXT
= 0.068 W
A typical power consumption can now be calculated for these
conditions by adding a typical internal power dissipation. (I

see calculation in Electrical Characteristics section):
P
TOTAL
= P
EXT
+ (I

)
Note that the conditions causing a worst-case P
EXT
differ from
those causing a worst-case P
INT
. Maximum P
INT
cannot occur
while 100% of the output pins are switching from all ones (1s)
to all zeros (0s). Note also that it is not common for an appli-
cation to have 100% or even 50% of the outputs switching
simultaneously.

Thermal Characteristics
The ADSP-21065L is offered in a 208-lead MQFP and a 196-
ball Mini-BGA package.
The ADSP-21065L is specified for a case temperature (T
CASE
)
.
To ensure that T
CASE
is not exceeded, an air flow source may be
used.
