• Security – Hardware crypto accelerators, secure boot, secure storage, device identity, isolation firewalls, JTAG lock and customer programmable keys (Silicon Revision 2.1) for system security and IP protection.
• System and Reliability – Enhanced DMA (EDMA), general‑purpose memory controller, real‑time clock, watchdog timer and up to 215 GPIO pins for system control and reliability.
• Package and Temperature – 760‑pin FCBGA package (23 × 23 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), surface‑mount, and rated for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C; qualified to AEC‑Q100.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Infotainment – Drive multimedia playback, user HMI and navigation displays with integrated video engines, GPU and multiple display pipelines while meeting automotive temperature and qualification requirements.
• Rear‑Seat Entertainment – Manage multiple high‑resolution video inputs and outputs, audio streams and USB/SATA media storage for in‑vehicle entertainment systems.
• Advanced Driver Assistance Integration – Support video input, image processing and connectivity required for ADAS subsystems and integration with higher‑level Jacinto platforms.
• In‑vehicle Networking and Gateway – Combine dual Ethernet capability, CAN controllers and rich peripheral I/O to implement connectivity, media streaming and gateway functions.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multimedia subsystem: Combines VPE, IVA‑HD, 2D/3D graphics and DSP engines to reduce external accelerator requirements and simplify BOM.
• Comprehensive I/O: Multiple high‑speed interfaces (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, SATA, PCIe, MIPI CSI‑2) and a broad peripheral set enable flexible system architectures.
• Automotive readiness: AEC‑Q100 qualification and an extended −40 °C to 125 °C operating range support deployment in temperature‑challenging vehicle environments.
• Hardware security primitives: On‑chip cryptography, secure boot and isolation firewalls enable secure system partitioning and protection of sensitive keys and assets.
• Memory scalability: On‑chip L3 RAM plus DDR3/DDR3L EMIF (up to DDR3‑1333, up to 2 GB) allows designers to scale system memory for multimedia and application needs.
• High integration to reduce system complexity: Extensive on‑chip functionality (timers, RTC, EDMA, GPMC, numerous serial interfaces) reduces external components and simplifies PCB design.
