Product details
Overview
ADSP-21567KBCZ8 from Analog Devices is a SHARC+ single-core floating-point DSP engineered for high-performance audio and signal processing in automotive and professional systems. It operates at up to 800 MHz, integrates 5 Mb L1 SRAM with parity, supports 32-/40-/64-bit floating-point arithmetic, and features dual ASRCs, 2× full SPORTs, and hardware FIR/IIR accelerators - deployed in digital cockpit audio amplifiers and active noise cancellation (ANC) modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 datasheet, ADSP-21567KBCZ8 pinout, ADSP-21567KBCZ8 application, or ADSP-21567KBCZ8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 MHz SHARC+ core speed, 400-ball CSP_BGA package with 0.8 mm pitch, AEC-Q100 qualification, DDR3L interface capability, and integrated crypto accelerators for secure boot.
Technical Context
The ADSP-21567KBCZ8 implements a SIMD SHARC+ core with two parallel processing elements (PEx/PEy), each supporting IEEE 32-/40-/64-bit floating-point and 32-bit fixed-point operations in single-cycle execution. Its memory subsystem includes four configurable L1 SRAM blocks (total 5 Mb) with parity, plus up to 8 Mb L2 SRAM with ECC - accessed via dedicated CCLK-domain buses to sustain simultaneous instruction fetch and dual-data transfers.
System-level integration includes a 16-bit DDR3/DDR3L controller (L3 interface), 2× DAI with SRU routing, 2×4 ASRC pairs, 3× UARTs, 6× I²C, and Arm CoreSight debug/trace. Safety and security are enforced through SMPU, SPU, FMU, dual CRC engines, thermal monitoring, and OTP-based secure boot - all validated for automotive temperature range operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ADSP-21567KBCZ8?
The ADSP-21567KBCZ8 is rated for a maximum core frequency of 800 MHz under automotive temperature conditions (−40°C to +105°C). This speed grade is confirmed in the official Analog Devices ordering guide and supported by its internal PLL and voltage regulator design. The ADSP-21567KBCZ8 achieves this performance while maintaining full instruction set compatibility with earlier SHARC processors.
Does the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 support DDR3L memory interfaces?
Yes, the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 integrates a dedicated 16-bit DDR3/DDR3L controller as part of its L3 memory interface. It supports DDR3L-1066 (533 MHz) operation with on-die termination and programmable timing parameters. This interface is electrically and logically distinct from the L1/L2 SRAM subsystem and is accessible only via the system crossbar - enabling high-bandwidth off-chip data streaming without core bus contention.
Is the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C ambient), with built-in safety mechanisms including memory parity/ECC, fault management unit (FMU), system protection unit (SPU), and thermal monitor unit (TMU). These features are documented in the ADSP-2156x safety manual and verified through Analog Devices' automotive qualification process - making it suitable for digital cockpit, ANC/RNC, and ADAS audio subsystems.
How many ASRC pairs does the ADSP-21567KBCZ8 include?
The ADSP-21567KBCZ8 includes two banks of four asynchronous sample rate converters (ASRCs), totaling eight independent ASRC channels. Each pair supports bidirectional conversion between arbitrary sample rates (8 kHz to 192 kHz) with jitter-immune operation and <120 dB SNR. This capability is explicitly listed in Table 1 of the ADSP-2156x datasheet Rev. D and is enabled via the DAI and SRU routing infrastructure.
What package type is used for the ADSP-21567KBCZ8?
The ADSP-21567KBCZ8 uses a 400-ball CSP_BGA package measuring 17 mm × 17 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch (Analog Devices part number suffix "KBCZ8"). This package is RoHS-compliant and thermally enhanced for automotive PCB mounting. Pin assignments and solder mask recommendations are fully detailed in the "400-Ball CSP_BGA Signal Descriptions" section of the datasheet (pages 24–30, Rev. D).
