Analog Devices Inc. ADSP-SC598 Dual-SHARC+® Digital Signal Processors

Analog Devices Inc. ADSP-SC598 Dual-SHARC+® Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) feature an integrated Arm® Cortex-A55 running up to 1.2GHz. 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 various other connectivity options for a flexible and simplified system design.

The ADSP-SC598 SHARC processors 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). The SHARC+ core includes cache enhancements and branch prediction, while maintaining instruction set compatibility with previous SHARC products.

By integrating a rich set of industry-leading system peripherals and memory, 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. These applications include automotive, professional audio, and industrial-based applications that require high floating-point performance.
