• Flash and Storage Interfaces — Integrated Flash controller (IFC) supporting NAND, NOR and general ASIC; enhanced SD/MMC host controller (eSDHC).
• RF and Radio Interfaces — Antenna Interface Controller (AIC) supporting JESD and custom parallel RF interfaces (three dual and one single port) and a 2-lane CPRI interface.
• Peripheral Set — Two SC3850 DSP subsystems, two eSPI interfaces, two I2C, two dual UART (DUART), two TDM interfaces, USIM interface, 96 GPIO signals, and multiple timers and DMA channels.
• Package and Operating Range — Supplier device package: 780-FCPBGA (23 × 23 mm) surface mount; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Pico and Small Cell Base Stations — On-chip MAPLE-B2P accelerators and baseband processing features enable LTE/UMTS channel processing and MIMO workflows required for pico base station designs.
• Wireless Infrastructure — Dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe and high-speed SerDes support integration into communication systems and aggregation equipment.
• Secure Communications — Integrated CAAM security engine, secure boot and RNG make the device suitable for systems that require hardware cryptography and trusted boot chains.
• Embedded Networking Appliances — Rich peripheral mix (USB 2.0, eSDHC, IFC) and robust memory controllers provide a platform for embedded networking and storage-centric appliances.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated baseband engine: MAPLE-B2P accelerators and DSP subsystems provide dedicated hardware for common baseband algorithms, reducing software processing load.
• Balanced compute and memory architecture: Dual e500 cores with sizeable L1/L2 caches and DDR3/DDR3L controllers with ECC support sustained packet and signal processing workloads.
• Comprehensive security suite: ULE CAAM engine plus secure boot and RNG enable strong cryptographic functions and boot-time trust without external security co-processors.
• Versatile high-speed I/O: Multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, PCIe, SerDes lanes, USB and CPRI support flexible system topologies and high-bandwidth connectivity.
• System-level reliability: ECC-protected L2 and DDR controllers together with DMA channels and enhanced interrupt/debug support improve robustness and maintainability.
• Compact, production-ready package: 780-FCPBGA (23 × 23 mm) surface-mount package simplifies board-level integration for volume embedded products.
