• Memory and Storage  Supports DDR3, DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory controllers; on-chip memory includes up to 2 MB L3 RAM with SECDED and multi-core shared memory controllers.
• Industrial Communication  Three gigabit Industrial Communication Subsystems (PRU_ICSSG) with support for 10/100/1000 Ethernet (up to two ports per PRU_ICSSG) and additional deterministic I/O for industrial control.
• Interfaces  Integrated USB (USB 2.0 and USB 3.1), CAN, and multiple high-speed and peripheral interfaces to support connectivity and sensor/subsystem integration.
• Security  Hardware cryptographic acceleration and security features including AES, 3DES, MD5, SHA, PKA and DRBG to support secure boot and data protection.
• Functional Safety  Developed for functional-safety applications with features such as ECC/parity on critical memories, error signaling, BIST, and documented functional-safety support; IEC 61508 certification referenced in documentation.
• Package and Temperature Range  784‑FCBGA (23×23) package, surface-mount, and industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation and Control  Use the integrated PRU_ICSSG subsystems and gigabit Ethernet ports for deterministic industrial networking and motion-control interfaces.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Leverage the PowerVR GPU and LVDS/MIPI‑CSI display interfaces for graphical user interfaces and camera-aware systems.
• Robotics and Motor Control  Combine Cortex‑A application processing with Cortex‑R5F real‑time cores to handle high-level algorithms and low‑latency motor control tasks.
• Secure Embedded Systems  Built-in cryptographic engines and secure-boot capabilities make the device suitable for applications requiring hardware security primitives and authenticated boot chains.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous Processing: Dual Cortex‑A53 application cores plus Cortex‑R5F real-time cores enable separation of high-level and deterministic control tasks within one device.
• Integrated Industrial Networking: Multiple PRU_ICSSG subsystems with gigabit Ethernet ports simplify implementation of industrial protocols and high-speed deterministic communication.
• Functional‑Safety Support: On-chip ECC, BIST, error signaling, and TÜV‑referenced IEC 61508 documentation help reduce safety development overhead for safety-related designs.
• Security Built In: Hardware cryptographic acceleration and secure-boot support help protect firmware and data without adding external cryptographic co-processors.
• Broad Memory Support: Support for DDR3/DDR4/LPDDR4 and on-chip L3 SRAM with SECDED enables flexible memory architectures and improved data integrity.
• Industrial Temperature and Packaging: 784‑FCBGA package and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range are suited to industrial environments and surface-mount assembly.
