Product details
Overview
ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 from Analog Devices is a Blackfin+ embedded processor IC delivering 400 MHz peak performance with dual 16-bit or single 32-bit MAC per cycle, 136 kB parity-protected L1 SRAM (64 kB instruction + 64 kB data + 8 kB scratchpad), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 datasheet, ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 pinout, ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 application, or ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 88-lead LFCSP_VQ package, 2× CAN 2.0B interfaces, USB 2.0 HS OTG support, and crypto hardware acceleration for secure boot and runtime encryption.
Technical Context
The ADSP-BF701KBCZ-2 implements a modified Harvard architecture with separate 64 kB L1 instruction and 64 kB L1 data SRAM banks-both multi-parity protected-and an 8 kB dedicated scratchpad. Its Blackfin+ core integrates two 16-bit multipliers, one 32-bit multiplier, dual 40-bit ALUs, and a 72-bit ALU to execute two 16×16 MACs or one 32×32 MAC per cycle.
It features a hierarchical memory system: L1 operates at full core speed; L2 includes 256 kB ECC-protected SRAM and 512 kB ROM; and the 16-bit dynamic memory controller supports DDR2/LPDDR up to 200 MHz (CSP_BGA only-excluded in this QFN variant). Peripherals include 2× UART, 2× SPORT, 1× PPI, 2× CAN, 1× USB 2.0 HS OTG, and crypto accelerators for AES/SHA/MD5.
