ADSP-SC572KBCZ-42

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC572KBCZ-42 is a dual-enhanced SHARC+ digital signal processor integrated with an Arm Cortex-A5 core, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates in a 17 mm × 17 mm 400-ball CSP_BGA package. The device features two SHARC+ cores running at up to 450 MHz and an Arm Cortex-A5 core operating at 450 MHz. Memory architecture includes 384 kB L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core, 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches for the Arm core, and 1 MB shared L2 SRAM with ECC protection. Peripheral interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet (EMAC), USB 2.0 High Speed, SDIO/eMMC, and multiple communication ports such as SPI, UART, I2C, and CAN.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Dual SHARC+ SIMD cores with up to 3 Mb L1 SRAM each and support for 32/40/64-bit floating-point operations.
• Arm Cortex-A5 core operating at 450 MHz with NEON/VFPv4-D16 extensions and 256 kB L2 cache.
• Integrated peripherals including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 HS, SDIO/eMMC, and two Link Ports.
• Hardware security accelerators supporting Fast Secure Boot and Arm TrustZone.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster systems
• Professional audio processing and mixing consoles
• Industrial motor control and automation

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix KBCZ against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm availability status directly with Analog Devices or authorized distributors, as supply conditions may vary. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and automotive qualification requirements if applicable to the target application.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model when high-performance floating-point DSP capabilities are required alongside a general-purpose ARM core for system management. The 400-ball BGA package is suitable for designs requiring extensive GPIO and peripheral connectivity. Consider the ADSP-SC571 or ADSP-SC573 if different clock speeds or single-core configurations better fit the power or performance constraints.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family of processors, which share a common architectural foundation with the ADSP-2157x series. The SC572 variant specifically provides dual SHARC+ cores and an Arm Cortex-A5 processor, distinguishing it from single-core variants like the SC570 or SC571. It is designed for applications demanding both real-time signal processing and complex system control within a single integrated package.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

The ADSP-SC571BBCZ-42 offers similar functionality but with only one SHARC+ core. The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-42 provides dual SHARC+ cores with a higher Arm Cortex-A5 clock speed of 500 MHz. Verify pin compatibility and software migration efforts when substituting these related models.
