ADSP-SC573KBCZ-4

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Overview

The ADSP-SC573KBCZ-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 MB of shared L2 SRAM with ECC protection and up to 3 MB of L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core. Key peripherals include a Gigabit Ethernet MAC (EMAC), USB 2.0 High-Speed controller, SDIO/eMMC interface, and multiple communication interfaces such as SPI, UART, I2C, and CAN 2.0. It is housed in a 400-ball CSP_BGA package.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Feature Summary

• Dual-enhanced SHARC+ cores operating up to 500 MHz with SIMD capabilities
• Arm Cortex-A5 core running at 500 MHz with NEON/VFPv4-D16 support
• 1 MB shared L2 SRAM with ECC and parity protection
• Integrated Gigabit Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 HS, and SDIO/eMMC controllers

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Applications

• Automotive infotainment and instrument clusters
• Professional audio processing systems
• Industrial control and motor drive applications

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'KBCZ' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature range, and RoHS compliance status. Ensure that the required peripheral configurations, such as DDR memory interfaces, are supported by the specific variant selected for the design.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Selection Notes

Select this model when high-performance floating-point DSP processing is required alongside a general-purpose ARM core for system management. The ADSP-SC573 provides dual SHARC+ cores, unlike the SC570/SC572 which have single cores. Verify that the 400-ball BGA package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements of the target application.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Part Context

This component belongs to the ADSP-SC57x family, which shares architectural similarities with the ADSP-2157x series but includes the Arm Cortex-A5 core. The SC573 variant is distinguished by its dual SHARC+ cores and higher GPIO count compared to the 176-lead LQFP variants like the SC571.

Digital Signal Processor Dsp Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other ADSP-SC573 variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges, such as ADSP-SC573KBCZ-3 or ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5, provided the electrical specifications meet the design requirements.
