							Regulatory Compliance 
The Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender is designed to be used solely in a 
laboratory environment. The board is not intended for use as a consumer 
end product or as a portion of a consumer end product. The board is an 
open system design which does not include a shielded enclosure and there-
fore may cause interference to other electrical devices in close proximity. 
This board should not be used in or near any medical equipment or RF 
devices.
The Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender is currently being processed for 
certification that it complies with the essential requirements of the Euro-
pean EMC directive 89/336/EEC amended by 93/68/EEC and therefore 
carries the “CE” mark.
The Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender board contains ESD (electrostatic 
discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the 
human body and equipment and can discharge without detection. Perma-
nent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. 
Proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degrada-
tion or loss of functionality. Store unused extender boards in the protective 
shipping package.

   PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender®, 
Analog Devices, Inc. extender board to the EZ-Board® evaluation system 
for the ADSP-BF518F, ADSP-BF526 Blackfin®, and ADSP-21469 
SHARC® processors. 
Blackfin processors are embedded processors that support a Media 
Instruction Set Computing (MISC) architecture. This architecture is the 
natural merging of RISC, media functions, and digital signal processing 
characteristics towards delivering signal processing performance in a 
microprocessor-like environment. 
SHARC processors are based on a 32-bit super Harvard architecture that 
includes a unique memory architecture comprised of two large on-chip, 
dual-ported SRAM blocks coupled with a sophisticated IO processor, 
which gives a SHARC processor the bandwidth for sustained high-speed 
computations. SHARC processors represents today’s de facto standard for 
floating-point processing, targeted toward premium audio applications.
The EZ-Board and Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender are designed to 
be used in conjunction with the CrossCore
® Embedded Studio (CCES) 
and VisualDSP++® software development environments. The develop-
ment environment facilitates advanced application code development and 
debug, such as:
 Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written 
in C++, C, and Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender assembly
 Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application programs

Product Overview
The Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender is a separately sold extender 
board that plugs onto the expansion interface of the ADSP-BF518F, 
ADSP-BF526, and ADSP-21469 EZ-Board evaluation systems. The 
extender board aids the design and prototyping phases of the 
ADSP-BF518F, ADSP-BF526, and ADSP-21469 processor targeted 
applications.
The board extends the capabilities of the evaluation system by providing a 
connection between the asynchronous memory bus of the Black-
fin/SHARC processor and a USB 2.0 device. 
Please visit 
www.analog.com/EX2-USB for additional information, includ-
ing CCES support.
The following is a list of the Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender 
interfaces.
 USB 2.0 interface:
 PLX Technology NET2272 device
 USB driver and application code
 No power supply required: derives power from the EZ-Board
 CE certified 
						

							Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender Manual ix Preface
Before using any of the interfaces, follow the setup procedure in “Black-
fin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender Setup” on page 1-1.
Example programs are available to demonstrate capabilities of the Black-
fin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender board.
Purpose of This Manual
The Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender Manual provides instructions for 
installing the product hardware (board). The text describes operation and 
configuration of the board components. Finally, a schematic and a bill of 
materials are provided as a reference for future designs.
Intended Audience
The primary audience for this manual is a programmer who is familiar 
with Analog Devices processors. This manual assumes that the audience 
has a working knowledge of the appropriate processor architecture and 
instruction set. 
Programmers who are unfamiliar with Analog Devices processors can use 
this manual but should supplement it with other texts that describe your 
target architecture. For the locations of these documents, see “Related 
Documents”.
Programmers who are unfamiliar with CCES or VisualDSP++ should refer 
to the online help and user’s manuals.
