BSC9132NXE7KNKB

The BSC9132NXE7KNKB is a QorIQ Qonverge multicore baseband microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors based on PowerPC e500 architecture. It integrates two 32-bit e500 cores running at 1.333 GHz with dedicated baseband accelerators and a broad set of high-speed I/O, targeting embedded communications and baseband processing applications.

Designed for embedded and industrial applications, the device combines processing performance, integrated memory controllers, security engines and specialized accelerators to support pico base station baseband processing, networking equipment and other communications systems requiring integrated compute and I/O.

Key Features

• Core and CPU architecture Two high-performance 32-bit PowerPC e500 cores with double-precision floating-point support and 36-bit physical addressing; cores operate at up to 1.333 GHz.
• Cache and memory 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache per core, plus a 512 KB L2 cache (configurable as SRAM/stashing memory). Two 32-bit DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM controllers with ECC support.
• Baseband accelerators (MAPLE-B2P) Multi Accelerator Platform Engine for pico base station baseband processing, with accelerators for FFT, convolution, filtering, Turbo, Viterbi, MIMO and CRC algorithms.
• DSP and co-processors Two SC3850 core subsystems for signal processing and a SEC 4.4 security co-processor for offloaded processing tasks.
• Security and trusted boot Integrated security engine (ULE CAAM) supporting DES, AES, RNG, CRC, MDE, PKE, SHA and MD5, plus secure boot capability and a hardware random number generator.
• High-speed interfaces One PCI Express interface (5G support), four SerDes lanes (shared between PCIe, SGMII and CPRI options), one USB 2.0 controller (host/device), and integrated Flash controller supporting NAND/NOR.
• Networking I/O Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with TCP/IP acceleration, QoS and IEEE 1588 support; supports SGMII interfaces.
• RF and peripheral interfaces Antenna Interface Controller (AIC) supporting JESD and custom RF interfaces, two TDM, USIM, eSDHC, multiple serial interfaces (eSPI, I2C, DUART), and 96 GPIO signals.
• System controllers and DMA Integrated DMA controllers (Power Architecture side and DSP side) and multiple timers and debug/profiling units for real-time and development needs.
• Package and environmental 780-ball FCBGA package (23 mm × 23 mm), surface-mount, industrial operating temperature range (–40 °C to 105 °C) and RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Pico base stations and small-cell radios — MAPLE-B2P baseband accelerators and RF-facing AIC support on-device LTE/UMTS channel processing and chip-rate operations.
• Embedded communications equipment — Dual e500 cores, hardware offloads and high-speed Ethernet/PCIe make it suitable for network appliances and protocol processing.
• Secure network endpoints — Integrated CAAM cryptographic engine and secure boot enable encrypted communications and hardware-rooted security.
• Multi-protocol baseband processing — DSP subsystems, accelerators and flexible SerDes/CPRI interfaces support varied baseband and MIMO processing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated baseband acceleration: MAPLE-B2P provides dedicated accelerators for FFT, Turbo, Viterbi and MIMO operations, reducing software load on the main cores.
• Comprehensive security stack: On-chip CAAM engine, secure boot and RNG deliver cryptographic primitives and boot-time integrity checks without external blocks.
• Extensive, versatile I/O: PCIe, multi-lane SerDes, dual gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and rich peripheral interfaces minimize external bridging and simplify system design.
• Memory reliability: DDR3/DDR3L controllers with ECC and configurable L2 cache/SRAM provide resilient system memory options for embedded deployments.
• Industrial temperature range and packaging: 780-FCBGA package with surface-mount mounting and –40 °C to 105 °C operating range supports demanding environmental needs.
• Offload-oriented architecture: DSP subsystems, co-processors and DMA channels enable partitioning of signal processing and network tasks for optimized throughput.
