ADSP-SC58x and ADSP-2158x Series

The ADSP-SC589 processor is part of the new, high-performance, power-efficient, real-time series that delivers greater than 24 giga-floating-point operations per second using two enhanced SHARC+^® cores and advanced DSP accelerators (FFT, FIR, IIR). The ADSP-SC58x and ADSP-2158x series consume less than 2 watts, making the new processor line-up more than 5x more power efficient than previous SHARC products. This advantage provides industry leading digital signal processing performance for applications where thermal management sets the limit for power consumption, or where the higher costs and lower reliability of fans cannot be tolerated. Applications include automotive, consumer and professional audio, multi-axis motor control, and energy distribution systems.

The ADSP-SC58x products complement the SHARC+ cores and DSP accelerators with the addition of an ARM^® Cortex-A5 processor, with FPU and Neon® DSP extensions to handle additional real-time processing tasks and manage peripherals used to interface to time-critical data in audio, industrial closed-loop control, and industrial sensing applications. These interfaces includes Gigabit Ethernet, USB High-Speed, mobile storage (including SD/SDIO), PCI Express and a rich variety of other connectivity options for a flexible and simplified system design.

The ADSP-2158x family is designed for applications where a DSP co-processor is exclusively needed and includes two SHARC+ cores and a peripheral set matched to a DSP core.

The new, code-compatible, enhanced SHARC+ core features clock-rate and power-efficiency improvements and adds instruction/data cache options, native double-precision floating-point support, and a number of other new instructions. Designed for low-power and using a low-leakage CMOS process, the ADSP-SC58x/2158x families deliver 500 MHz with 105°C environments in mind and provide a roadmap to future implementations at higher performance. More than 1.8 Mbytes of fast on-chip SRAM and up to two DDR3/2/LP interfaces aid efficient real-time performance while the memory subsystem includes major enhancements with advanced DMA engines for simultaneous data transfer.

With software IP protection a growing industry security concern, ARM^® TrustZone^® security and an onboard crypto hardware accelerators are included. For applications where reliability is a critical requirement, memory parity and error-correction hardware provide higher data integrity. The overall integration and low-power features offered by the new ADSP-SC58x and ADSP-2158x series deliver significant BOM and board area savings and provide lower design complexity and reduced time to market for today’s complex applications.

The ADSP-SC58x/2158x is supported by ADI’s award winning Crosscore^® Embedded Studio development tool suite, providing design engineers with interactive, real-time development tools that help optimize their design and speed time to market.

FreeRTOS is a free, scalable real-time operating system. This product supports for the Analog Devices ADSP-BF7xx, ADSP-215xx and ADSP-SC5xx (ARM Cortex-A5, ARM Cortex-A55 and SHARC+ cores) processor families.

FreeRTOS is a low memory operating system developed for embedded systems. It supports many common operating system concepts such as timers, events, mutexes, semaphores tasks and semaphores; all of which can be created dynamically or statically. It has a scheduler which can be configured to be preemptive or co-operative, with optional time slicing.

FreeRTOS is royalty free and is provided with non-GPL licensing.

FreeRTOS for Analog Devices Processors is available as source from GitHub, or via an Add-In for CrossCore Embedded Studio which simplifies creation and configuration.

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 SHARC^® Audio Module is an expandable hardware/software platform that enables project prototyping, development and deployment of audio applications including effects processors, multi-channel audio systems, MIDI synthesizers, and many other DSP-based audio projects.

The centerpiece of the SHARC Audio Module is the Analog Devices ADSP-SC589 SHARC processor, a remarkable engine for audio processing which incorporates dual SHARC+ DSP cores and an ARM core. Accompanying the SHARC is an expert selected group of peripherals ideally suited for audio project development.

While the SHARC Audio Module can be used as a self-contained product, it is designed for custom expansion. Analog Devices is developing expansion boards (called “Fins”). The first in this series is an Audio Project Fin that plugs directly onto the main SHARC Audio Module.

In addition, there are several leading developers and board designers that provide a variety of software and hardware platforms for you to expand the SHARC Audio Module platform. Since all of the major functions and GPIO of the board can be accessed via the two multi-pin connectors, you can easily design and build your own expander. Documentation for these connectors can be found in the SHARC Audio Module Hardware Reference Manual.

This board is designed to be used in conjunction with the CrossCore^® Embedded Studio (CCES) development tools. The development environment aids advanced application code development and debug.

In addition to traditional C and C++ development, the SHARC Audio Module supports Faust (Functional Audio Stream), an open-source, functional programming language, specifically designed for real-time audio signal processing and synthesis. Faust generates C++, as well as other target languages, for signal processing applications. The Faust library provides a rich set of audio DSP objects that can be used in creating DSP algorithms. Using Faust, it is possible to quickly create large algorithms that take advantage of the computing power available on the SHARC Audio Module platform.
