Signal Description
MODA/IRQA
Input Input
Mode Select A/External Interrupt Request A—
This 
input has two functions: 
1.
to select the initial chip operating mode, and 
2.
after synchronization, to allow an external device 
to request a DSP interrupt. 
MODA is read and internally latched in the DSP when the 
processor exits the Reset state. MODA, MODB, and 
MODC select the initial chip operating mode. Several 
clock cycles (depending on PLL stabilization time) after 
leaving the Reset state, the MODA signal changes to 
external interrupt request IRQA. The chip operating 
mode can be changed by software after reset. The IRQA 
input is a synchronized external interrupt request that 
indicates that an external device is requesting service. It 
may be programmed to be level-sensitive or 
negative-edge-sensitive. If the processor is in the Stop 
state and IRQA is asserted, the processor will exit the Stop 
state.
MODB/IRQB Input Input
Mode Select B/External Interrupt Request B
—This input 
has two functions: 
1.
to select the initial chip operating mode, and
2.
after internal synchronization, to allow an 
external device to request a DSP interrupt. 
MODB is read and internally latched in the DSP when the 
processor exits the Reset state. MODA, MODB, and 
MODC select the initial chip operating mode. Several 
clock cycles (depending on PLL stabilization time) after 
leaving the Reset state, the MODB signal changes to 
external interrupt request IRQB. After reset, the chip 
operating mode can be changed by software. The IRQB 
input is an external interrupt request that indicates that 
an external device is requesting service. It may be 
programmed to be level-sensitive or 
negative-edge-triggered.
