• Memory and storage — DDR3/DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller support and on-chip L3/shared SRAM options described for coherent multi-core memory architectures.
• High-speed interfaces — Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports (2), USB 3.1 (1) and USB 2.0 (1), and CAN for broad connectivity in embedded systems.
• Display and graphics — GPU PowerVR SGX544‑MP1 3D and display interfaces including LVDS and MIPI-CSI for graphical user interfaces and vision front-ends.
• Security — Hardware support for AES, 3DES, SHA, MD5, PKA, and DRBG plus secure-boot and cryptographic acceleration described in the product documentation.
• Functional safety — Developed for functional-safety applications with documentation to aid IEC 61508 design; includes ECC, firewalls, BIST, error signaling, and TÜV SÜD IEC 61508 certification noted in the series documentation.
• Embedded peripherals for control — PRU-based PWMs, sigma-delta filters, encoder interfaces, and cycle-by-cycle control primitives suitable for motor and control subsystems.
• Package and temperature — 784‑FCBGA (23×23) surface-mount package rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to 105°C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automation — Real-time PRU subsystems, PWMs, encoder interfaces, and deterministic Ethernet support motion control, drives, and factory automation.
• Industrial communications and gateways — Multiple gigabit Ethernet ports and CAN interface enable protocol bridging, industrial Ethernet gateways, and networked control nodes.
• HMI and machine vision — GPU acceleration plus LVDS and MIPI-CSI support drive graphical displays and camera interfaces for operator HMIs and vision inspection.
• Safety-critical embedded systems — Functional-safety features, ECC, BIST, and IEC 61508 documentation support designs requiring safety certification guidance.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated real-time and application processing — Combines high-performance A53 application cores with deterministic R5F real-time cores to consolidate functionality on a single SoC.
• Industrial communication capabilities — PRU_ICSSG subsystems and multiple gigabit Ethernet ports provide built-in deterministic networking and I/O for industrial protocols.
• Security and secure boot — On-chip cryptographic engines and secure-boot features reduce external security hardware and simplify secure system design.
• Functional-safety ready — Safety-oriented hardware features, error detection, and IEC 61508 certification in the series documentation assist in meeting safety certification goals.
• Broad memory and display support — Support for DDR3/DDR4/LPDDR4 and integrated GPU plus LVDS/MIPI-CSI simplifies designs that require both high-bandwidth memory and rich graphics or vision interfaces.
• Industrial temperature and robust packaging — 784‑FCBGA package rated for -40°C to 105°C supports deployment in harsh industrial environments.
