ADSP-SC572BBCZ-4

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC572BBCZ-4 is a dual-enhanced SHARC+ digital signal processor integrated with an Arm Cortex-A5 core, manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 450 MHz for both the SHARC+ cores and the Arm Cortex-A5. The device features up to 384 kB of L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core and 256 kB of shared L2 SRAM with ECC protection. It supports 32-bit, 40-bit, and 64-bit floating-point operations alongside 32-bit fixed-point processing. The processor is housed in a 400-ball CSP_BGA package (17 mm × 17 mm) and functions within a supply voltage range of 1.1 V.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Industrial motor control and automation

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific automotive qualification markings if required for AEC-Q100 applications. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model when dual high-performance DSP cores are required alongside a general-purpose application processor. The 450 MHz speed grade suits applications needing moderate real-time signal processing. Verify that the 400-ball BGA package fits the PCB layout constraints and that external memory interfaces match the available DDR3 or LPDDR1 options.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family, which integrates SHARC+ and Arm Cortex-A5 architectures. It shares architectural similarities with the ADSP-2157x series but includes additional system peripherals like Ethernet MAC and SDIO controllers not present in all variants. The BBCZ suffix indicates the specific speed grade and package type within the SC572 product line.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements include other members of the ADSP-SC57x family such as the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4, which offers higher clock speeds. For single-core requirements, the ADSP-SC570BBCZ-4 may be considered, though it lacks the second SHARC+ core. Cross-family migration to the ADSP-2157x series requires software adaptation due to peripheral differences.
