Product details
Overview
ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 from Analog Devices is a dual-core SHARC+ DSP with integrated Arm Cortex-A5 processor, delivering 500 MHz per SHARC+ core and 500 MHz Arm Cortex-A5 operation. It features 3 MB L1 SRAM (384 kB per core), 1 MB L2 SRAM with ECC, dual 2× CAN 2.0 interfaces, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive infotainment and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 datasheet, ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 pinout, ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 application, or ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-core floating-point throughput, on-chip memory partitioning, DDR3L/LPDDR1 interface support, TrustZone security, and 400-ball CSP_BGA mechanical compatibility with automotive thermal requirements.
Technical Context
The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 implements a heterogeneous dual-domain architecture: two SHARC+ cores execute SIMD floating-point audio and control algorithms with 32/40/64-bit precision, while the Arm Cortex-A5 runs Linux-based middleware and system management. The cores share a coherent 256 kB L2 cache and access unified L2 SRAM via a system crossbar with DMA acceleration.
Peripherals are routed through a Signal Routing Unit (SRU) supporting dynamic I/O multiplexing, including full SPORTs, S/PDIF, ASRCs, and dual CAN 2.0 controllers. Safety-critical functions are enabled by integrated fault management, watchdog timers, thermal monitoring unit (TMU), and system protection unit (SPU) with Arm TrustZone enforcement.

| CLKIN | External reference clock input | Accepts 1–50 MHz crystal or oscillator; feeds CGU for internal PLL generation of core/system clocks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SHARC+ + Arm Cortex-A5 heterogeneity | Enables concurrent real-time signal processing (e.g., active noise cancellation) and application-layer tasks (e.g., GUI, OTA updates) without OS scheduling latency |
| 384 kB L1 SRAM per SHARC+ core with parity | Eliminates external memory access for critical filter kernels and FFT buffers - guarantees deterministic cycle count execution |
| Hardware FIR/IIR offload engines | Offloads up to 90% of convolution operations from CPU cores - preserves SHARC+ bandwidth for adaptive algorithms |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar heterogeneous DSP + application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADSP-SC572BBCZ-4 | Same 400-ball CSP_BGA package but lacks USB 2.0 HS + PHY and EMAC 10/100/1000; SHARC+ Core2 limited to 450 MHz | Targeted at cost-sensitive audio systems without Ethernet or high-speed peripheral needs | Select when USB/Ethernet are not required and lower SHARC+ frequency suffices for algorithm complexity |
| NXP i.MX 8M Plus | Quad Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M7 + NPU; no native SHARC+ floating-point DSP; uses external codec for audio I/O | Optimized for vision/AI workloads; audio processing relies on software libraries or companion codecs | Select when neural network inference dominates compute load and fixed-point audio processing is acceptable |
Compared with ADSP-SC572BBCZ-4, the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 adds USB 2.0 HS and gigabit EMAC for connected audio systems; compared with i.MX 8M Plus, it delivers 3× higher sustained floating-point throughput for real-time audio and motor control without software overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4?
The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, supporting continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C ambient. This rating covers junction temperatures up to 125°C under specified power dissipation and board-level thermal design, making it suitable for under-dash automotive environments and industrial enclosures without forced air cooling. Thermal derating curves and PCB copper pour recommendations are provided in the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 datasheet Section 126.
Does the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 support DDR3L memory, and what voltage levels are required?
Yes, the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 supports DDR3L (1.35 V) and DDR2 (1.8 V) memory via its dedicated 16-bit L3 interface. The DDR I/O bank requires VDD_DDR = 1.35 V ±3% for DDR3L operation, with separate VDDQ termination at 0.675 V. The controller supports programmable timing parameters, on-die termination (ODT), and auto-calibration for reliable 400–800 MT/s operation. LPDDR1 is also supported at 1.8 V.
How many CAN 2.0 interfaces does the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 integrate, and are they independently configurable?
The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 integrates two fully independent CAN 2.0B controllers (CAN0 and CAN1), each with dedicated message RAM, transmit/receive FIFOs, and bit-rate programming registers. Both controllers support programmable baud rates up to 1 Mbps, loopback/self-test modes, and error counters. They operate autonomously and can be assigned to different CAN networks (e.g., powertrain and body electronics) without resource contention.
Can the SHARC+ cores and Arm Cortex-A5 core run different real-time operating systems simultaneously?
Yes - the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 supports asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) where SHARC+ cores typically run lightweight RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS or VDK) for deterministic signal processing, while the Arm Cortex-A5 runs Linux or Android. Memory isolation is enforced by the System Memory Protection Unit (SMPU) and Arm TrustZone, ensuring secure, non-interfering execution. Inter-core communication uses mailbox registers and shared L2 SRAM with cache coherency managed by the PL310 L2 controller.
What debug and trace capabilities are available on the ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4?
The ADSP-SC573BBCZ-4 includes Arm CoreSight-compliant debug infrastructure: SWD/JTAG interface, Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) for instruction tracing, and Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) for software event logging. Each SHARC+ core has dedicated debug units with breakpoint/watchpoint support, and the Cortex-A5 includes NEON and VFP trace. Full trace bandwidth requires external trace port analyzers (e.g., CrossCore Embedded Studio with ICE-1000).
