• Baseband & DSP Acceleration  Multi Accelerator Platform Engine (MAPLE-B2F) with accelerators for FFT, convolution, filtering, Turbo/Viterbi, chip-rate and CRC algorithms for femto base station and baseband processing tasks.
• Antenna & RF Interfaces  Antenna Interface Controller (AIC) supporting industry-standard JESD parallel RF interfaces and MaxPHY serial interfaces for RF front-end integration.
• Peripherals & System  Integrated flash controller, TDM port, four-channel DMA controller, eight 32-bit timers, two PWMs and USIM interface for subscriber identity modules.
• Package & Environmental  520-FCBGA (21 × 21 mm) surface-mount package; RoHS compliant; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Femtocell and Small-Cell Base Stations  On-chip MAPLE-B2F accelerators and antenna interface support baseband and RF interfacing for compact cellular infrastructure.
• Wireless Baseband Processing  DSP accelerators, SC3850 subsystem and high-speed memory interfaces enable channel processing tasks such as FFT, convolution, Turbo and Viterbi operations.
• Embedded Networking Equipment  Dual gigabit Ethernet controllers, USB 2.0 and integrated security features suit networked embedded applications requiring throughput and secure boot/crypto.
• Secure Embedded Systems  Integrated ULE CAAM crypto engine, secure boot and RNG for devices that require on-device cryptographic services and secure startup.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Baseband Acceleration: MAPLE-B2F accelerators and SC3850 DSP resources reduce external DSP requirements for channel and chip-rate processing.
• Comprehensive Security Subsystem: On-chip CAAM, secure boot and RNG provide a hardware-rooted security foundation for protected deployments.
• High Integration Reduces BOM: On-chip memory controllers, Flash controller, eTSECs, USB and SD/MMC host controller lower external component count and board complexity.
• Flexible Memory Options: DDR3/DDR3L support with configurable 256-KB L2 cache (ECC-capable and reconfigurable as SRAM) provides design flexibility for performance and reliability trade-offs.
• Deployment-Ready Thermal Range: Specified 0 °C to 105 °C operating range suits many embedded and communications environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets lead-free and restricted substance requirements for regulatory and manufacturing consistency.
