Product details
Overview
ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA from Analog Devices is a 32-/40-bit floating-point SHARC® DSP optimized for high-performance automotive audio processing, featuring 333 MHz core instruction rate, 3M bits of on-chip SRAM, 4M bits of mask-ROM, and integrated S/PDIF transceiver with DTCP support. It executes two GFLOPS in SIMD mode and delivers 27.9 μs 1024-point complex FFT performance.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA datasheet, ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA pinout, ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA application, or ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 144-lead LQFP_EP package, ROM-based security with 64-bit JTAG key, 8-channel ASRC (–140 dB SNR), and dedicated audio peripherals including PCG, IDP, and DAI routing capability.
Technical Context
The ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA implements a dual-processing-element SIMD core (PEX/PEY), each with ALU, multiplier, shifter, and 40-bit register file, enabling parallel execution of identical instructions on independent data streams. Its enhanced Harvard architecture supports simultaneous single-cycle fetch of one 48-bit instruction and four 32-bit operands via PM/DM buses and instruction cache.
It integrates a digital audio interface (DAI) with six serial ports, S/PDIF Tx/Rx, DTCP cipher, eight-channel asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC), precision clock generators A/B, and signal routing unit (SRU) for flexible peripheral interconnection. The I/O processor handles 32-bit DMA independently of the core, supporting concurrent memory-to-peripheral transfers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-performance audio DSP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-21365KSZ-3 | Same 333 MHz core, 3M-bit SRAM/4M-bit ROM, but adds audio decoders in ROM (Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24); no DTCP support. | Better suited for consumer AV receivers requiring built-in decoder licensing; lacks DTCP needed for premium automotive content protection. | Select ADSP-21365KSZ-3 when ROM-based decoder compliance is mandatory and DTCP is unnecessary. |
| ADSP-21362KBZ-2 | 333 MHz core, same memory, includes DTCP and S/PDIF, but omits ASRC - SNR limited to –128 dB vs. –140 dB on ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive automotive audio where ultra-low-jitter sample rate conversion is not required. | Choose ADSP-21362KBZ-2 only if ASRC SNR margin is non-critical and BGA packaging is preferred. |
Compared with ADSP-21365KSZ-3 and ADSP-21362KBZ-2, the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA uniquely combines DTCP, S/PDIF, and –140 dB ASRC in an LQFP package - making it the only option for automotive infotainment requiring both content security and studio-grade sample rate conversion without BGA assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA?
The ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA operates at a maximum core instruction rate of 333 MHz, delivering up to two GFLOPS in SIMD mode. This frequency is achieved using the on-chip PLL with programmable multiplier/divider ratios, and is validated under automotive temperature ranges (–40°C to +105°C) per the Rev. J datasheet specifications.
Does the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA support S/PDIF transmission and reception?
Yes, the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA integrates a fully compliant S/PDIF transceiver capable of both transmission and reception. It accepts 16/18/20/24-bit audio formats in I2S, left-justified, or right-justified configurations, and routes signals through the SRU from SPORTs, PCGs, or ASRC - all documented in the ADSP-2136x Rev. J datasheet Section 7.
How does ROM-based security work on the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA?
The ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA implements ROM-based security by requiring a unique 64-bit key scanned via JTAG before enabling debug access or external boot modes. Without correct key authentication, the device boots exclusively from internal ROM and blocks unauthorized code readout - a feature confirmed in the General Description section of the Rev. J datasheet.
What package type is used for the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA?
The ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA uses a 144-lead LQFP_EP (Leadless Quad Flat Package with Exposed Pad) measuring 10 mm × 10 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. This package is explicitly listed in Table 2 and detailed in Package Dimensions (Page 53) of the ADSP-2136x Rev. J datasheet, and supports automotive thermal and mechanical reliability requirements.
Is the ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA pin-compatible with other ADSP-2136x family members?
The ADSP-21364KSQZ-1AA shares the same 144-lead LQFP_EP pinout with ADSP-21362KBZ-2 and ADSP-21365KSZ-3 per the Rev. J datasheet pin configuration diagrams (Pages 48–49), but functional differences exist - notably ASRC performance (–140 dB vs. –128 dB) and ROM decoder content. Pin compatibility enables footprint reuse, but firmware and peripheral initialization must be verified per variant.
