Product details
Overview
ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 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× CAN2.0 interfaces, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive audio processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 datasheet, ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 pinout, ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 application, or ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual SHARC+ floating-point throughput, Arm Cortex-A5 real-time OS support, DDR3L/DDR2/LPDDR1 memory interface, cryptographic acceleration, and 400-ball CSP_BGA package compatibility with automotive thermal requirements.
Technical Context
The ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 implements a heterogeneous dual-domain architecture: two SHARC+ cores execute SIMD floating-point signal processing at 500 MHz with 32-/40-/64-bit IEEE formats, while the Arm Cortex-A5 core runs Linux or RTOS at 500 MHz with NEON/VFPv4-D16 and TrustZone security. The system fabric interconnects both domains via shared L2 SRAM (1 MB, ECC-protected) and a unified crossbar DMA subsystem.
Peripherals are partitioned across domains: SHARC+ controls full SPORTs, ASRCs, S/PDIF, and FIR/IIR offload engines; Arm Cortex-A5 manages EMAC (10/100/1000), USB 2.0 HS, SDIO/eMMC, and dual CAN2.0 controllers. Safety-critical functions-including fault management, watchdog timers, and thermal monitoring-are hardware-enforced via dedicated system protection units (SPU) and CoreSight debug infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5?
The ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C junction temperature. This specification ensures reliable performance in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without forced cooling. Thermal design must maintain junction temperature within this limit using the specified thermal pad and PCB copper area per Analog Devices' AN-1332 guidelines.
Does the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 support booting from eMMC storage?
Yes, the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 supports booting directly from eMMC devices via its integrated SDIO/eMMC controller. Boot configuration pins (BOOT_CFG[3:0]) must be set to 0b0110 to enable eMMC boot mode. The device executes initial firmware from eMMC sector 0, then loads application code into L1 SRAM or external DDR memory as configured in the boot ROM.
How many independent CAN2.0 interfaces does the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 provide?
The ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 integrates two fully independent CAN2.0 controllers (CAN0 and CAN1), each with dedicated TX/RX pins, message RAM, and filtering logic. Both controllers support bit rates up to 1 Mbps and operate concurrently without resource contention, enabling simultaneous communication with powertrain and body control modules in automotive networks.
Can the SHARC+ cores and Arm Cortex-A5 core access the same L2 SRAM simultaneously?
Yes, the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5's 1 MB L2 SRAM is coherently shared between both SHARC+ cores and the Arm Cortex-A5 core via the system fabric crossbar. Hardware-enforced cache coherency ensures consistent data visibility across domains without software-managed cache flush/invalidate sequences during inter-core data exchange.
Is the ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5 pin-compatible with other ADSP-SC57x variants in the 400-ball CSP_BGA package?
Yes, all ADSP-SC57x processors in the 400-ball CSP_BGA package-including ADSP-SC572KBCZ-5 and ADSP-SC573KBCZ-5-share identical mechanical footprint, ball pitch, and pinout. This enables hardware reuse across performance tiers; however, functional differences (e.g., DDR controller presence) require corresponding PCB routing and firmware validation.
