• Multimedia and DSP — Integrated multimedia co-processor with NEON™ MPE support for accelerated media processing.
• Memory Interfaces — Flexible RAM controller support for LPDDR1/LPDDR2/LPDDR3, DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L and QSPI for code and data storage options.
• Display and HMI — Display interface controllers for keyboard, LCD and touchscreen together with graphics acceleration for user interface implementations.
• Connectivity — Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and USB 2.0 + HSIC for wired networking and peripheral connectivity.
• Security — Comprehensive security features including ARM TrustZone (TZ), Boot Security, Cryptography, RTIC, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, Secure Memory and Secure RTC.
• Power and I/O — 3.3 V I/O voltage compatibility and additional interfaces such as I2C for sensor and peripheral integration.
• Package and Reliability — 256-TFBGA (8×8) surface-mount package rated for industrial temperature operation from −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Embedded Systems — Suited for industrial-grade embedded controllers that require robust temperature operation and secure boot capability.
• Graphical User Interfaces — Display controllers and graphics acceleration enable LCD and touchscreen-based operator interfaces.
• Secure Networking Devices — Integrated Ethernet and hardware security features support networked devices requiring authenticated boot and encrypted communications.
• USB-enabled Peripherals — USB 2.0 + HSIC supports connectivity to a range of peripheral devices and host interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Industrial-temperature rated: Operation from −40 °C to 85 °C supports deployment in demanding environments.
• Integrated security suite: ARM TZ plus multiple secure elements (Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, Secure Memory, Secure RTC) helps implement layered device security and secure boot.
• Flexible memory support: Multiple RAM controller options (LPDDR1/2/3, DDR2/3/3L, QSPI) simplify BOM choices across performance and cost targets.
• Peripheral-rich connectivity: On-chip Ethernet, USB 2.0 + HSIC and I2C reduce external components for networked and sensor-based designs.
• Compact, industry-standard package: 256-TFBGA (8×8) surface-mount package provides a balance of I/O density and small footprint for embedded boards.
• Vendor backing: Manufactured by Microchip Technology, providing component sourcing continuity for design projects.
