ADSP-SC572CBCZ-42

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC572CBCZ-42 is a dual-enhanced 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 both the Arm and SHARC+ cores. The device features 384 kB of L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core and 1 MB of shared L2 SRAM with ECC protection. Key peripherals include a Gigabit Ethernet MAC (EMAC), USB 2.0 High-Speed interface, SDIO/eMMC controller, and multiple communication ports such as SPI, UART, and CAN 2.0. It is housed in a 400-ball CSP_BGA package.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pin compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the selected variant meets the required temperature range and automotive qualification standards if applicable for the target deployment environment.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this component when high-performance floating-point DSP capabilities are required alongside a general-purpose operating system host via the Arm Cortex-A5. Consider the 400-ball BGA package constraints and the availability of external DDR memory interfaces for applications requiring large data buffers beyond the on-chip SRAM capacity.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This part belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family, which shares architectural similarities with the ADSP-2157x series but includes the Arm Cortex-A5 core. It is designed to replace legacy single-core SHARC processors in applications demanding higher throughput and system integration capabilities within a compact form factor.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and feature set include the ADSP-SC573CBCZ-42, which offers higher clock speeds. For legacy migration from single-core devices, the ADSP-SC570 or ADSP-SC571 may be considered if the dual-core performance and specific peripheral sets like Gigabit Ethernet are not strictly required.
