GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADSP-SC58x/ADSP-2158x processors are members of the
SHARC® family of products. The ADSP-SC58x processor is
based on the SHARC+ dual core and the Arm® Cortex®-A5
core. The ADSP-SC58x/ADSP-2158x 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 set of industry leading system peripherals and
memory (see Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3), the Arm Cortex-A5
and 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 span a
wide array of markets, including automotive, professional
audio, and industrial-based applications that require high floating-
point performance.
