Product details
Overview
ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 from Analog Devices is a dual-core SHARC+ DSP with integrated Arm Cortex-A5 application processor, delivering 500 MHz per SHARC+ core and 500 MHz Arm Cortex-A5 operation. It integrates 2 × 384 kB L1 SRAM (parity), 256 kB L2 cache (parity), 1 MB L2 SRAM (ECC), dual CAN 2.0 interfaces, USB 2.0 HS, EMAC 10/100/1000, and SDIO/eMMC support - designed for real-time audio processing, automotive infotainment, and industrial control systems requiring deterministic floating-point performance and Linux-capable application processing.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 datasheet, ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 pinout, ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 application, or ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual SHARC+ core clock speed (500 MHz), Arm Cortex-A5 frequency (500 MHz), 400-ball CSP_BGA package compatibility, AEC-Q100 qualification, and integrated FIR/IIR offload accelerators for low-latency signal path execution.
Technical Context
The ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 implements a heterogeneous dual-domain architecture: two SHARC+ SIMD cores handle high-throughput, low-latency floating-point signal processing (32-/40-/64-bit) with dedicated L1 SRAM and hardware-accelerated FIR/IIR engines, while the Arm Cortex-A5 core runs rich OS environments (e.g., Linux) and manages system-level tasks including USB, Ethernet, and SDIO. The cores share coherent memory via a system crossbar and L2 cache controller (PL310).
Its system infrastructure includes a safety-aware design with on-chip memory protection, dual CRC units, watchdog timers, thermal monitoring unit (TMU), and Arm TrustZone security extensions. Peripherals are routed through a Signal Routing Unit (SRU) and multiplexed GPIOs, supporting simultaneous high-bandwidth audio (S/PDIF, ASRC, DAI), timing-critical control (CAN, EPPI), and connectivity (USB, EMAC, MLB).

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-SC572BCBZ-4 | Same dual SHARC+/Arm architecture but lower Arm clock (450 MHz), no DDR controller, and 176-lead LQFP package (vs. 400-ball BGA) | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications (e.g., entry-tier audio processors) without external DRAM or high-speed connectivity | Select ADSP-SC572BCBZ-4 only if DDR3 interface, USB 2.0 HS, and EMAC 1000BASE-T are unnecessary and LQFP assembly is preferred. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature rating for ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5?
ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C ambient temperature. Its Thermal Monitor Unit (TMU) provides on-die temperature sensing with programmable interrupts, enabling thermal throttling or safe shutdown before junction temperature exceeds 125°C - essential for under-hood automotive deployment.
Does ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 support boot from eMMC?
Yes, ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 supports boot directly from eMMC via its integrated SDIO controller. Boot mode is selected using BOOT_CFG[3:0] strap pins, and the ROM bootloader initializes the eMMC interface, loads the first-stage bootloader (e.g., SPL), and executes it - enabling secure, high-reliability firmware storage without external SPI flash.
How many independent audio sample rate domains does ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 support?
ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 supports four independent asynchronous sample rate conversion (ASRC) channel pairs, allowing simultaneous bridging between up to eight different audio clock domains (e.g., 44.1 kHz Bluetooth stream, 48 kHz USB audio, 96 kHz ADC capture, and 192 kHz DAC playback). Each ASRC operates with <±10 ppm accuracy and configurable interpolation filters.
Is the Arm Cortex-A5 core in ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 cache-coherent with the SHARC+ cores?
No - the Arm Cortex-A5 and SHARC+ cores are not cache-coherent by default. Coherency is maintained through software-managed memory barriers and explicit cache maintenance operations (e.g., Clean/Invalidate by VA), or via the L2 cache controller (PL310) which provides a shared coherent view for data accessed through its requester ports. Shared memory regions must be explicitly allocated and managed.
Can ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 run Linux on the Arm core while executing real-time audio on SHARC+ cores?
Yes, ADSP-SC573CBCZ-5 is architected for concurrent operation: the Arm Cortex-A5 core runs Linux (Yocto or Buildroot) handling UI, networking, and file I/O, while the dual SHARC+ cores execute hard real-time audio processing (e.g., ASRC, FIR, beamforming) with guaranteed latency - enabled by inter-core messaging via shared memory and CoreSight debug infrastructure.
