ADSP-SC59x/2159x SHARC Series Doubles Portfolio Performance, Enabling Platforms for Complex Audio Applications
- ADSP-2159x Offers Pin-Compatibility with ADSP-2156x Processors, Providing DSP Performance Scalability from 400 MHz to 2 GHz
- Leverages SHARC+ Cores and Advanced Filter Accelerators to Provide >3-7x the Device Performance of Prior Generations
The ADSP-SC59x (ADSP-SC598 / SC596 / SC595 / SC594 / SC592) and ADSP-2159x (ADSP-21594 / 21593 / 21591) series of processors are designed to provide immersive audio and sound experience in automotive and consumer/pro-audio applications. The ADSP-SC59x/2159x audio processors are specifically targeted for applications that demand deterministic and low-latency real-time audio processing, including immersive 3D sound and personal audio zones, automotive active and road noise cancellation (ANC/RNC), voice-based user-interfaces and in-car communications (AEC/NR & microphone beamforming), and engine sound synthesis (ESS) and electric vehicle warning sound systems (EVWSS/AVAS). Additional applications include professional audio and soundbars / home AVRs (with 3D Object and Multi-Channel Audio).


Analog Devices has partnered with DSP Concepts to optimize the Audio Weaver® core libraries specifically for the SHARC+® DSP core, leveraging the high-performance on-chip FIR/IIR hardware accelerators wherever possible, resulting in even more processing power. Audio Weaver contains tools that facilitate development from prototype to production. It is a low-code audio platform that streamlines automotive audio development and reduces risk and complexity by utilizing a drag-and-drop host application for product design, paired with an audio processing engine embedded in the DSP.

The ADSP-SC59x/2159x family are single- or dual-SHARC+ DSP core floating-point processors, combining flexible audio connectivity and performance scalability across a number of pin-compatible products with several on-chip memory options. As they are software- and pin-compatible with the ADSP-21566 / 21567 / 21569 audio processors, the ADSP-21593 / 21591 offer DSP performance scalability from 400 MHz to 2 GHz. Meanwhile, the ADSP-SC594 / SC592 processors integrate an Arm® Cortex®-A5 (1800 DMIPS at 1 GHz), while the ADSP-SC598 / SC596 / SC595 processors integrate an Arm Cortex-A55 (3400 DMIPS at 1.2 GHz), both with FPU and Neon® DSP extensions, providing a control processor for enhanced integrated peripherals including Gigabit Ethernet (w/AVB), 3-pin and 6-pin MLB, USB, and CAN-FD.
ADI’s software development tools enable solution developers to achieve fast time to market. Optimized software-based audio algorithms can be tuned for specific use cases for ease of solution design and reduced development effort.
The ADSP-SC59x/2159x processors are available in a 400-ball FCBGA (17mm x 17mm, 0.8mm pitch) package in both automotive and consumer grades to provide design flexibility and enable thermally efficient compact designs across operating temperature range.
Featured Products
ADSP-SC598

Reaching speeds of up to 1 GHz, the ADSP-SC598/SC596/SC595 processors are members of the ADSP-SC59x SHARC® family of products. Containing the same dual-SHARC+® DSP core architecture as the ADSP-SC594/SC592/SC591, these processors upgrade the integrated Arm core to a Cortex-A55 running at up to 1.2 GHz. The A55 processor, with FPU and Neon® DSP extensions, handles additional real-time processing tasks and manages peripherals used to interface to time-critical data in audio applications. These interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet, USB High-Speed, CAN FD, and a rich variety of other connectivity options for a flexible and simplified system design.
The ADSP-SC59x SHARC processors are members of the SIMD SHARC family of digital signal processors (DSPs) that feature Analog Devices, Inc., Super Harvard Architecture. These 32-bit/40-bit/64-bit floating-point processors are optimized for high performance audio/floating-point applications with large on-chip static random-access memory (SRAM), multiple internal buses that eliminate input/output (I/O) bottlenecks, and innovative digital audio interfaces (DAI). New additions to the SHARC+ core include cache enhancements and branch prediction, while maintaining instruction set compatibility to previous SHARC products.
By integrating a rich set of industry-leading system peripherals and memory (see Table 1 in the data sheet), the SHARC+ processor is the platform of choice for applications that require programmability similar to reduced instruction set computing (RISC), multimedia support, and leading edge signal processing in one integrated package.

HCC Embedded FAT File System

HCC Embedded’s FAT can interface with any type of sector-based media. Typically, this might be an SD/MMC card, Compact Flash card, or USB pen drive, but it can be any device that is arranged as an array of logical sectors.
Please visit the HCC Embedded FAT page for more details and the demonstration projects for ADSP-SC573, ADSP-SC589, and ADSP-SC594 page to find free demonstration projects for the ADSP-SC57x, ADSP-SC58x, and ADSP-SC59x processors.
HCC Embedded TCP/IP Stack

An innovative approach to design has resulted in a TCP/IP stack with an extremely high-speed data transfer rate, with minimal system resource requirements. Tests have shown that packet processing runs up to four times faster than comparable embedded stacks, while using around 14 KB of ROM, in a typical application scenario.
RAM requirements can vary widely depending on application needs but are typically as low as 12kB. It is possible, with a minimum configuration UDP application, to use less than 5kB of ROM and a few hundred bytes of RAM (plus network buffers).

The USB Host stack is scalable. It includes many host class drivers that enable an embedded host to control a variety of USB devices including pen-drives, printers, audio devices, joysticks, virtual serial ports and network interfaces. It supports EHCI, OHCI, and non-standard USB host controllers.
The USB Device stack allows developers to integrate USB device functionality into their embedded devices. It includes many device class drivers that give the device functional possibilities, including operating as a pen-drive, virtual serial port, joystick, audio system or a network card.
HCC Embedded also provides a full software OTG Stack that supports the SRP and HNP protocols to negotiate between two connected devices in order to decide which of them operates as the host.

Evaluation Kits
EV-SC598-SOM

The EV-SC598-SOM enables evaluation and rapid prototyping of designs featuring the ADSP-SC59x Family (ADSP-SC595/ADSP-SC596/ADSP-SC598) of SHARC audio processors. It provides an easy-to-use plug-n-play reference design with expansion capabilities to interface to custom hardware ahead of the release of the processor itself. When the EV-SC598-SOM board is plugged into the EV-SOMCRR-EZKIT carrier board, the resulting EZ-KIT® evaluation system (EV-SC598-EZKIT) can be used for fast and easy evaluation of the processor core and system peripherals/interfaces.
The EV-SC598-SOM enables rapid prototyping for a wide range of applications, including immersive 3D sound and personal audio zones (PAZ), automotive active and road noise cancellation (ANC/RNC), voice-based user-interfaces and in-car communications (ICC), engine sound synthesis (ESS) and electric vehicle warning sound systems (EVWSS/AVAS). Additional applications include professional audio and soundbars / home AVRs (with 3D Object and Multi-Channel Audio) and enhanced conferencing systems. ADI offers several software modules (e.g., AEC/NR, microphone beamforming, pitch shifting, harmonic generators, wave players etc.), as well as complete software solutions that can be licensed, where users can develop/evaluate their audio and voice processing applications. ADI also offers 3rd party surround sound solutions that can be licensed on ADI’s SHARC processor families. Please visit ADI’s Software Solutions page for more information.
The EV-SC598-SOM module utilizes the CrossCore® Embedded Studio (CCES) development tools to enable developers to achieve faster time to market. The development environment aids advanced application code development and debug, such as:
- Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written in C++, C, and assembly
- Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application programs
- Read and write data and program memory
- Read and write core and peripheral registers
