B4860NSE7QUMD

The B4860NSE7QUMD is a QorIQ Qonverge system-on-chip (SoC) from NXP Semiconductors, built around PowerPC e6500 core technology. It targets embedded designs that require multi-core processing combined with dedicated signal-processing co-processors and extensive wired networking interfaces.

This SoC integrates a 64-bit, 4-core PowerPC e6500 configuration alongside SC3900FP signal-processing co-processors (6-core as listed), DDR3/DDR3L memory controllers, multiple high-speed Ethernet ports, and a suite of hardware security primitives—providing a platform oriented to high-throughput embedded networking and secure signal processing tasks.

Key Features

• Processing Cores  4-core, 64-bit PowerPC e6500 core configuration for general-purpose embedded compute; SC3900FP signal-processing co-processors (6-core) for offloaded DSP workloads.
• Memory Support  Integrated controllers for DDR3 and DDR3L memory to support system memory requirements for high-throughput applications.
• High-Speed Ethernet  Multiple integrated Ethernet ports: four ports supporting 1/2.5 Gbps and two ports supporting 1/2.5/10 Gbps to address multi-port networking and aggregation use cases.
• Peripherals & I/O  Includes a USB 2.0 interface (1) and I2C for peripheral management and system control.
• Hardware Security  Built-in cryptographic and security accelerators including AES, DES, 3DES, HMAC, IPsec, Kasumi, MD5, SHA-1/2, SNOW-3D, and ZUC for accelerated secure communications and packet processing.
• Mounting & Compliance  Surface mount device with RoHS compliance noted in product environmental data.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Equipment  Use the multi-port 1/2.5/10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces and multi-core processing to implement routers, switches, or network appliances requiring concurrent high-bandwidth links.
• Secure Communications  Hardware cryptographic engines support secure tunneling and accelerated encryption/decryption for VPNs, IPsec gateways, and secure packet processing.
• Signal Processing Systems  SC3900FP signal-processing co-processors enable offloaded DSP tasks for applications that require dedicated signal analysis or real-time packet processing.
• Edge and Embedded Compute  DDR3/DDR3L memory support and a 64-bit multi-core architecture make the part suitable for embedded compute nodes that combine control, processing, and I/O aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous compute fabric: Combines PowerPC e6500 general-purpose cores with SC3900FP signal-processing co-processors to separate control-plane and DSP workloads.
• Multi-port networking integration: Six integrated Ethernet ports with 1/2.5/10 Gbps capabilities reduce external PHY and switch requirements for multi-link designs.
• Comprehensive security acceleration: Wide range of cryptographic engines (AES, DES, 3DES, HMAC, IPsec, SHA variants, SNOW-3D, ZUC, Kasumi, MD5) to speed secure processing without burdening main CPU cores.
• Memory flexibility: Support for DDR3 and DDR3L memory types allows designers to choose the appropriate memory density and power profile for their application.
• Surface-mount packaging and RoHS compliance: Standard surface-mount form factor and RoHS status simplify manufacturing and regulatory alignment for commercial embedded products.
