ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 is a dual-core SHARC+ digital signal processor integrated with an Arm Cortex-A5 core, manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 500 MHz for both the SHARC+ and Cortex-A5 cores. The device features 2 × 384 kB L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core, 32 kB instruction and 32 kB data cache for the Arm core, and 256 kB shared L2 cache. It includes 1 MB shared L2 SRAM with ECC, a 16-bit DDR controller supporting DDR3/DDR2/LPDDR1, USB 2.0 High-Speed, Gigabit Ethernet (EMAC), SDIO/eMMC, and multiple communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, UART, and I2C. The component 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 package type, temperature range, and automotive qualification status. Ensure compatibility with required external memory types (DDR3/DDR2/LPDDR1) and voltage levels during system design.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model when high-performance floating-point DSP capabilities are required alongside a general-purpose RISC core for system management. The ADSP-SC573 variant specifically offers dual SHARC+ cores and advanced connectivity like Gigabit Ethernet and USB, distinguishing it from single-core or lower-connectivity siblings in the SC57x family.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family, which integrates SHARC+ DSPs with Arm Cortex-A5 processors. It is designed for applications demanding high throughput and low latency, such as audio processing and industrial control. The 'BBCZ' suffix typically denotes the 400-ball CSP_BGA package and commercial/automotive temperature ratings, while the '-4' indicates the 500 MHz speed grade.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other ADSP-SC573 variants with different speed grades or memory configurations, provided the functional requirements match. Cross-family migration to ADSP-2157x requires careful review of peripheral availability and software compatibility.
