• Memory On-chip L3 RAM (up to 512 KB) and a DDR3/DDR3L external memory interface supporting up to DDR3-1333 and up to 2 GB across a single chip select.
• Display and Video Display subsystem with HDMI/DVI encoder and DMA-driven display pipelines; IVA-HD supports H.264 encode/decode (4K @ 15 fps for H.264, other codecs up to 1080p60).
• High-Speed Connectivity Integrated SuperSpeed USB 3.0 dual-role and USB 2.0 dual-role controllers, SATA Gen2 interface, PCIe® revision 3.0 lanes and a 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.
• Industrial and Serial Interfaces CAN (DCAN/CAN 2.0B), MIPI CSI-2, multiple UARTs, SPI/QSPI, I²C ports, MMC/SD/SDIO and up to 215 GPIOs for broad peripheral support.
• Security and Trust Hardware-enforced secure boot, cryptographic accelerators (AES, 3DES, SHA/MD5), True Random Number Generator (TRNG), and TrustZone-based TEE support for secure execution and boot integrity.
• System and Real-Time Two dual-core PRU-ICSS subsystems, enhanced DMA (EDMA), timers and watchdogs for real-time control and deterministic I/O handling.
• Package and Environmental 760-pin FCBGA (23 mm × 23 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), surface-mount package; commercial temperature range 0 °C to 90 °C and RoHS compliant.
• Qualification AEC-Q100 qualification is listed in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) Use the integrated display controllers, GPU and video engines to implement high-resolution touch and graphical user interfaces.
• Video and Imaging Systems Leverage IVA-HD, HDMI output and MIPI CSI-2 input for video capture, encoding/decoding and multimedia processing up to 4K @ 15 fps for H.264.
• Industrial Automation and Control Real-time PRU-ICSS subsystems, CAN and extensive serial interfaces enable deterministic control and industrial communication tasks.
• Networking and Storage Appliances Dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe lanes, SATA Gen2 and USB 3.0 support make the device suitable for embedded networking and storage gateway applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multimedia and acceleration: Multiple on-chip accelerators and IVA-HD reduce external components and offload compute-intensive video and graphics tasks.
• Comprehensive connectivity: Built-in USB 3.0, SATA Gen2, PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet simplify system design for high-bandwidth applications.
• Security-ready platform: Hardware secure boot, cryptographic engines and TRNG provide a foundation for secure device deployment and trusted execution.
• Real-time deterministic I/O: PRU-ICSS and EDMA support tight timing control and efficient data movement for industrial and control applications.
• High integration in compact package: 760-pin FCBGA (23×23 mm) package consolidates extensive functionality into a single device footprint to reduce BOM and PCB area.
• Qualification and compliance: RoHS compliance and AEC-Q100 qualification are included in the product data.
