Dual-core SHARC+ (w/768KB L1), arm® Cortex-A5, 1MB Shared L2, DDR, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, SDIO, 400-cspBGA
ADSP-SC57x and ADSP-2157x Product Family
The ADSP-SC57x and ADSP-2157x multicore processors are the latest in a growing series of high-performance, power-efficient, real-time platforms that deliver greater than 6 giga-floating-point operations per second using two enhanced SHARC+ cores and advanced DSP accelerators. By combining ADI’s SHARC technology with arm® Cortex-A5 system control capability, this provides a high performance, low cost solution for complex applications demanding the latest advanced algorithms, interface technology, security and scalability. With more than 2MBytes of on-chip memory, the system cost can be optimized with two package options including the choice to use external memory. By consuming less than 2 watts at Automotive temperatures, the ADSP-SC57x and ADSP-2157x delivers the advantage of industry leading digital signal processing performance to applications where thermal management sets the limit for power consumption, or where the higher costs and lower reliability of fans cannot be tolerated. Target applications include automotive premium audio, consumer and pro-audio and high-end industrial systems.
