Product details
Overview
ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 from Analog Devices is a dual-core SHARC+ DSP with integrated Arm Cortex-A5 processor, delivering 450 MHz SHARC+ core performance and 450 MHz Arm Cortex-A5 operation. It features 384 kB L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core, 256 kB L2 cache, and supports 32-/40-/64-bit floating-point arithmetic. Designed for automotive audio processing, it integrates dual CAN 2.0 interfaces, 3 UARTs, and 8-channel 12-bit HADC.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 datasheet, ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 pinout, ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 application, or ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 equivalent, key selection criteria include SHARC+ core clock speed, L1 SRAM configuration, automotive AEC-Q100 qualification, 176-lead LQFP_EP package compatibility, and dual-core deterministic real-time signal processing capability.
Technical Context
The ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 implements a heterogeneous dual-core architecture: one SHARC+ core running at up to 450 MHz and one Arm Cortex-A5 core also at 450 MHz, sharing a unified system fabric with L2 SRAM (1 MB) and memory protection units. Its SHARC+ core supports SIMD execution with PEx/PEy computational elements and VISA instruction encoding for code density.
System-level features include Arm TrustZone security extensions, cryptographic hardware accelerators, FIR/IIR offload engines, and safety mechanisms such as dual CRC, watchdog timers, and thermal monitoring. Peripherals include 2× CAN2.0, 3× UART, 3× I²C, 2× SPI + 1× Quad-SPI, USB 2.0 HS, EMAC (10/100), and 8-channel 12-bit HADC - all mapped to the 176-lead LQFP_EP package.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SHARC+ core in the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4?
The SHARC+ core in the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 operates at a maximum frequency of 450 MHz. This speed is specified under recommended operating conditions (VDD_CORE = 1.05 V, junction temperature ≤ +105°C) and enables deterministic execution of audio and control algorithms with cycle-accurate timing. The ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 maintains this rating across its full automotive temperature range.
Does the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 support AEC-Q100 qualification, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 is AEC-Q100 qualified to Grade 2, covering an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. This qualification applies to the full device including SHARC+, Arm Cortex-A5, memory subsystems, and peripherals. The qualification documentation is available in Analog Devices' Automotive Products section (Rev. C, p. 140).
How much on-chip L1 SRAM does the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 provide, and how is it allocated?
The ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 provides 384 kB of L1 SRAM dedicated to its single SHARC+ core, with optional parity protection. This memory is fully configurable as program memory (PM), data memory (DM), or instruction cache - typical configurations allocate 128 kB for PM, 512 kB for DM, and 128 kB for cache. The Arm Cortex-A5 accesses this memory space via multicycle reads/writes.
Which package type and pin count does the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 use?
The ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 uses a 176-lead LQFP_EP package with an exposed thermal pad (17 mm × 17 mm footprint). This package supports GPIO multiplexing across Ports A–D (64 pins) and includes 20 dedicated DAI pins. Ball/lead assignments and signal descriptions are documented in Rev. C, pages 38–43.
What peripheral interfaces are integrated into the ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 for automotive networking?
The ADSP-SC570KSWZ-4 integrates two CAN2.0 controllers compliant with ISO 11898-2, three UARTs, three I²C interfaces, and a 10/100 Ethernet MAC. These interfaces enable direct connection to vehicle body control modules, sensor clusters, and telematics gateways without external protocol translators. CAN message handling is accelerated via dedicated DMA channels and mailbox registers.
