• Connectivity  Multiple Ethernet interfaces (2× 10/100 Mbps and 2× 10/100/1000 Mbps) and a USB 3.1 port enable high‑bandwidth networking and host/device connectivity.
• Industrial I/O and Control  Includes multiple encoder interfaces, sigma‑delta filters, enhanced capture (ECAP), and a 16550‑compatible UART with dedicated 192 MHz clock for PROFIBUS support.
• Security  Comprehensive hardware security features including 3DES, AES, ARM TrustZone, secure boot with hardware root‑of‑trust, PKA, ECC, SHA‑1/2, RSA, DRBG and a secure random number generator.
• SoC Services and DMA  Integrated Device Management Security Controller (DMSC‑L) for centralized system management, and a Data Movement Subsystem (DMSS) including Block Copy DMA and Packet DMA for efficient data transfers.
• Package and Environmental  441‑FCBGA package (17.2×17.2 mm), surface mount, industrial operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C, RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation  Use the PRU_ICSSG and industrial Ethernet support to implement deterministic fieldbus and motion‑control systems with real‑time synchronization (TSN, EtherCAT, Profinet).
• Industrial Gateways & Networking  Leverage dual gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 3.1 to build protocol gateways, secure routers, and high‑throughput edge networking appliances.
• Motor and Motion Control  Dedicated encoder interfaces, sigma‑delta filters and ECAP resources enable precise position and motor control alongside real‑time R5F cores for control loops.
• Embedded HMI and Application Processing  Dual Cortex‑A53 cores provide 64‑bit application processing for user interfaces, application logic and edge analytics while isolating real‑time tasks to MCU/R5F cores.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous Multi‑Core Integration: Combines high‑performance Cortex‑A53 application cores with Cortex‑R5F and Cortex‑M4F/M5F real‑time cores for workload separation and deterministic control.
• Industrial Ethernet and Protocol Support: PRU_ICSSG subsystems with multiple Ethernet ports and protocol support reduce external PHY/FPGA requirements for industrial communications.
• Memory Reliability and Partitioning: On‑chip RAM with SECDED ECC and configurable memory banks plus DDR subsystem with inline ECC enable robust data integrity and software partitioning.
• Comprehensive Security Stack: Hardware root‑of‑trust, secure boot, TrustZone and multiple cryptographic engines provide layered security for device authentication and secure firmware management.
• Built‑in System Services: Centralized DMSC‑L system controller and DMA/packet acceleration (DMSS) simplify system management and offload data movement for higher application efficiency.
• Industrial‑Grade Reliability: Surface‑mount 441‑FCBGA package and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range support deployment in harsh industrial environments.
