• On‑chip caches – Per‑core 32 Kbyte L1 instruction and 32 Kbyte L1 data caches plus a 512 Kbyte L2 cache with ECC; L2 cache is also configurable as SRAM or stashing memory.
• Baseband accelerators (MAPLE‑B2P) – Multi Accelerator Platform Engine for pico base station baseband processing with accelerators for Fourier transforms, convolution, filtering, Turbo/Viterbi, chiprate and MIMO processing, and CRC algorithms.
• Memory subsystem – Two DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM controllers supporting 32‑bit data paths with ECC for system memory.
• Integrated security – ULE CAAM security engine with support for DES, AES, RNG, CRC, MDE, PKE, SHA and MD5, plus secure boot capability.
• High‑speed networking and I/O – Two enhanced three‑speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps), one USB 2.0 controller (host/device, EHCI/ULPI), one PCI Express interface, and four SerDes lanes shared between PCIe, SGMII and CPRI.
• Antenna and radio interfaces – Antenna interface controller (AIC) supporting JESD‑style and custom parallel RF interfaces and a 2‑lane CPRI interface.
• System peripherals – eSDHC, integrated flash controller supporting NAND/NOR, two TDM interfaces, USIM, two eSPI, two I2C, two DUARTs, two DMA controllers and up to 96 GPIOs.
• Debug and reliability – Enhanced hardware/software debug support, enhanced programmable interrupt controller (EPIC), debug and profiling unit (DPU), and ECC on L2 and memory controllers.
• Package and mounting – FC‑PBGA‑780 package (23 mm × 23 mm) with surface‑mount assembly and an operating temperature range specified from 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Pico and small cell base stations – On‑chip MAPLE‑B2P accelerators and RF/AIC interfaces support UMTS and LTE channel processing and baseband functions for small cell deployments.
• Wireless infrastructure – Dual e500 cores, dual DDR3 controllers with ECC and multiple high‑speed SerDes/PCIe/CPRI options for network equipment requiring integrated baseband and backhaul interfaces.
• Communications and network appliances – Integrated Ethernet controllers, USB 2.0, and programmable I/O enable use in edge routers, aggregation devices, and protocol offload applications.
• Secure embedded systems – Built‑in ULE CAAM crypto engine and secure boot features for systems that require hardware security and authenticated boot chains.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated baseband engine: MAPLE‑B2P accelerators provide dedicated hardware for common baseband algorithms, reducing software load and system complexity.
• Balanced compute and memory: Dual e500 cores with sizable L1/L2 caches and dual DDR3/DDR3L controllers (with ECC) enable robust compute throughput with memory reliability.
• Comprehensive security: ULE CAAM plus secure boot and RNG/cryptographic primitives allow hardware‑accelerated security functions without external crypto components.
• Flexible high‑speed I/O: Multiple Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, PCIe and SerDes lanes provide a range of connectivity options for networking and radio interfaces.
• Designed for telecom use cases: RF‑centric interfaces (AIC, CPRI) and protocol accelerators align the device to cellular baseband and radio front‑end integration.
