Preface
Thank you for purchasing and developing systems using an ADSP-SC58x SHARC+ processor from Analog Devices,
Inc.
The ADSP-SC58x processor features two high-performance, floating-point SHARC+
®
one ARM
Cortex-A5 core. The cores deliver 24 GFLOPS performance at under 2W for advanced, real-rime audio
and industrial applications. The processor is designed for a wide variety of automotive, consumer, professional audio
energy distribution systems, and other computationally intensive real-time applications.
Purpose of This Manual
The ADSP-SC58x SHARC Processor Hardware Reference provides architectural information about the ADSP-SC58x
processors. This hardware reference provides the main architectural information about these processors. The archi-
tectural descriptions cover functional blocks, buses, and ports, including all features and processes that they support.
For information about programming the ARM core in the ADSP-SC58x processor, visit the ARM Information
Center at:
http://infocenter.arm.com.
For timing, electrical, and package specifications, see the processor data sheet.
Intended Audience
The primary audience for this manual is a programmer who is familiar with Analog Devices processors. The manual
assumes the audience has a working knowledge of the appropriate processor architecture and instruction set. Pro-
grammers who are unfamiliar with Analog Devices processors can use this manual, but should supplement it with
other texts, such as programming reference books and data sheets, that describe their target architecture.
What's New in This Manual
This is the first released to production revision (1.0) of the ADSP-SC58x SHARC+ Processor Hardware Reference.
