Product details
Overview
ADSC572WCBCZ402 from Analog Devices is a dual-core SHARC+ DSP with integrated Arm Cortex-A5 processor, operating at up to 450 MHz per SHARC+ core and 500 MHz for the Arm core. It integrates 3 MB L1 SRAM (384 kB per core), 1 MB L2 SRAM with ECC, dual CAN 2.0 interfaces, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive audio and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSC572WCBCZ402 datasheet, ADSC572WCBCZ402 pinout, ADSC572WCBCZ402 application, or ADSC572WCBCZ402 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core floating-point throughput, automotive-grade safety features (fault management, watchdogs, thermal monitoring), DDR3L/DDR2/LPDDR1 memory interface, and 400-ball CSP_BGA package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADSC572WCBCZ402 implements a heterogeneous dual-processor architecture: one SHARC+ core (450 MHz) and one Arm Cortex-A5 core (500 MHz), sharing a unified system fabric with 256 kB L2 cache and 1 MB L2 SRAM with ECC. Its memory subsystem supports 16-bit DDR3L/DDR2/LPDDR1 via dedicated L3 interface.
Peripherals include two CAN 2.0 controllers, three UARTs, three I²C ports, two SPI + one Quad-SPI, two link ports, S/PDIF Rx/Tx, eight timers, EMAC (10/100/1000), SDIO/eMMC, and an 8-channel 12-bit HADC - all mapped to 92 GPIO + 20 DAI pins in the 400-ball CSP_BGA package.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of each core in the ADSC572WCBCZ402?
The ADSC572WCBCZ402 features a SHARC+ core rated at up to 450 MHz and an Arm Cortex-A5 core rated at up to 500 MHz. These frequencies are guaranteed under AEC-Q100 Grade 2 conditions (−40°C to +105°C ambient) with appropriate voltage and cooling. The actual sustained frequency depends on thermal design and power delivery stability - the ADSC572WCBCZ402 includes thermal monitor unit (TMU) and dynamic power management to maintain safe operation.
Does the ADSC572WCBCZ402 support DDR3L memory, and what interface does it use?
Yes, the ADSC572WCBCZ402 supports DDR3L (1.35 V), DDR2, and LPDDR1 memory via its dedicated 16-bit L3 memory interface. This interface is separate from the L1/L2 SRAM subsystem and connects directly to external DRAM using differential clocking and on-die termination. The ADSC572WCBCZ402's DDR controller includes calibration logic and supports JEDEC-standard timing parameters for reliable operation at up to 533 MT/s.
How many CAN 2.0 interfaces does the ADSC572WCBCZ402 integrate, and are they isolated from other peripherals?
The ADSC572WCBCZ402 integrates two independent CAN 2.0 controllers (CAN0 and CAN1), each with dedicated message RAM, transmit/receive buffers, and bit-timing logic. These controllers operate autonomously from the Arm and SHARC+ cores and are accessible via memory-mapped registers. They share no functional dependency with UART, SPI, or Ethernet peripherals - enabling concurrent CAN communication alongside audio processing or network stack execution on the ADSC572WCBCZ402.
Is the ADSC572WCBCZ402 pin-compatible with other ADSP-SC57x family members in the same package?
Yes, the ADSC572WCBCZ402 is pin-compatible with ADSP-SC573WCBCZ402 and ADSP-21573WCBCZ402 in the 400-ball CSP_BGA package. Power, ground, clock, reset, and most peripheral signals occupy identical ball positions. However, certain function-specific pins (e.g., USB PHY, second link port, EMAC gigabit mode) differ in assignment or capability - requiring schematic and layout verification before substitution. Always consult the ADSP-SC57x Ball Assignments document for ADSC572WCBCZ402-specific signal mapping.
What security features are implemented in hardware on the ADSC572WCBCZ402?
The ADSC572WCBCZ402 includes cryptographic hardware accelerators (AES-128/256, SHA-256, RSA), Arm TrustZone-enabled memory isolation, fast secure boot with OTP-based key storage, and system protection unit (SPU) for peripheral access control. These features are implemented in silicon - not firmware - and enforce secure boot chain integrity, runtime memory partitioning, and tamper-resistant key management. All security logic remains active across power modes and is validated under AEC-Q100 stress conditions.
