• Graphics & Display  Graphics acceleration plus display interface controllers for LCD, touchscreen and keyboard support for modern HMI applications.
• Connectivity  Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (1), USB 2.0 with HSIC, and I2C for common embedded peripheral connectivity.
• Security  Comprehensive security capabilities including ARM TrustZone (TZ), boot security, cryptography, RTIC, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory and secure RTC.
• Power & IO  3.3 V I/O voltage for standard embedded interfaces.
• Package & Mounting  196-TFBGA (11×11) CSBGA package, surface mount.
• Environmental & Compliance  Industrial operating temperature range −40°C to 85°C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Use integrated LCD and touchscreen controllers with graphics acceleration to drive operator displays and control panels.
• Industrial Control & Automation  10/100 Mbps Ethernet, robust security features and industrial temperature rating support embedded control and monitoring systems.
• Secure Embedded Systems  Hardware-enforced boot security, cryptography and TrustZone enable secure device authentication, firmware protection and tamper-resistant designs.
• Multimedia-Enabled Devices  NEON™ MPE and multimedia co-processor support accelerate media processing in devices requiring audio/visual features.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated SIP architecture: Reduces PCB routing complexity and board area by combining the MPU with DDR2/LPDDR2 memory in a single package, simplifying EMI/ESD and signal integrity design.
• Comprehensive on-chip peripherals: Ethernet, USB 2.0 + HSIC, I2C and display controllers reduce external component count and speed time-to-market.
• Industrial reliability: −40°C to 85°C operating range and surface-mount TFBGA packaging suited to demanding embedded environments.
• Extensive security suite: Multiple hardware security mechanisms (TrustZone, secure JTAG, secure memory, secure RTC and more) enable robust system-level protection.
• Flexible memory support: Broad controller compatibility with LPDDRx and DDRx types plus QSPI support enables scalable memory configurations.
• Standards-friendly I/O levels: 3.3 V I/O for broad compatibility with common embedded peripherals and interface chips.
