Cadence Tensilica IP Powers Analog Devices’ Next-Generation DSP Architecture

Cadence announced that its Tensilica IP Group co-developed the new SHARC-FX processor core with Analog Devices, and it powers ADI's next-generation ADSP-SC84x/2184x automotive audio platform. The SHARC-FX delivers 5X the performance of the previous SHARC+ core and shifts the platform from 28nm to 16nm silicon, adding on-chip AI/ML optimization, an LPDDR4 interface, increased L2 memory, and a dedicated hardware security module. ADI has led premium automotive audio processing for decades, so the selection reinforces Cadence's Tensilica IP franchise in automotive DSPs, which is certified up to ISO 26262 ASIL-B for safety-critical uses.
