ADSP-SC572BBCZ-42

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC572BBCZ-42 is a single-core SHARC+ digital signal processor integrated with an Arm Cortex-A5 core, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 450 MHz for the SHARC+ core and 450 MHz for the Arm Cortex-A5 core. The device features 384 kB of L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core and 1 MB of shared L2 SRAM. Key peripherals include a Gigabit Ethernet MAC (EMAC), USB 2.0 High-Speed interface, SDIO/eMMC controller, and DDR memory interface. It is housed in a 400-ball CSP_BGA package and supports floating-point arithmetic.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Single-core SHARC+ architecture with up to 384 kB L1 SRAM and 1 MB shared L2 SRAM
• Integrated Arm Cortex-A5 core running at 450 MHz with NEON/VFPv4 support
• High-speed connectivity including Gigabit Ethernet (EMAC), USB 2.0 HS, and SDIO/eMMC
• Automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) with extended temperature range capabilities

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster systems
• Professional audio processing and mixing consoles
• Industrial motor control and automation
• Networked communication equipment requiring IEEE 1588 synchronization

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '42' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm the exact speed grade and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with the required external DDR memory type, as the controller supports DDR3, DDR2, and LPDDR1. Confirm that the 400-ball CSP_BGA package footprint matches the PCB design specifications.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model when a single high-performance DSP core is sufficient for the algorithm load, reducing power consumption compared to dual-core variants like the SC573. The presence of the Gigabit Ethernet MAC distinguishes it from lower-end models lacking this peripheral. Verify that the 450 MHz operating frequency meets the real-time processing requirements of the target application.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family, which integrates SHARC+ DSP cores with Arm Cortex-A5 processors. The SC572 variant specifically provides a single SHARC+ core, differentiating it from the SC573 which offers two SHARC+ cores. All members share common system infrastructure, including the DMA subsystem and security features.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the ADSP-SC572CBCZ-42, which may differ in temperature range or speed bin. For higher performance, the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-42 offers dual SHARC+ cores but requires software adaptation for multi-core execution.
