• Multimedia and Image Processing  Dual Cortex‑M4 image processing units (IPU), IVA-HD subsystem, Video Input Port (VIP) and VPE for camera, video input and image processing pipelines.
• High‑speed Connectivity  SuperSpeed USB 3.0 dual-role, multiple USB 2.0 interfaces, SATA, PCIe® lanes, and dual Ethernet capabilities (one 10/100 Mbps and one 10/100/1000 Mbps) for high-throughput peripheral and network connectivity.
• Peripheral Integration  Extensive peripheral set including MIPI® CSI-2 camera interface, HDMI and LCD display controllers, multiple I2C and UART ports, QSPI, McSPI, McASP audio ports, MMC/SD/SDIO interfaces and HDQ/1‑Wire®.
• Security and Debug  Hardware cryptography accelerators with DMA, firewalls, secure boot, secure storage, device identity and debug security including JTAG lock and customer programmable secure keys (Silicon Revision 2.1).
• Automotive Qualification & Reliability  Automotive grade with AEC‑Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Package & Mounting  760-pin FCBGA package (23 mm × 23 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) intended for surface-mount PCB assembly in compact system designs.

Typical Applications

• Human‑Machine Interface (HMI)  Drives advanced in-vehicle displays and multi-pipeline graphics for rich user interfaces and cockpit displays.
• Navigation Systems  Provides processing and multimedia integration needed for map rendering, route guidance and multimedia overlays.
• Rear‑Seat Entertainment & Multimedia  Supports Full‑HD video playback, multiple video inputs/outputs and audio interfaces for passenger entertainment systems.
• Digital Radio and Infotainment  Enables AM/FM/RDS and digital radio decoding with integrated audio interfaces and DSP resources for media processing.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Multimedia Subsystem: On-chip video, image, 2D/3D graphics and dedicated DSP/image processors reduce external component count and simplify system architecture.
• Comprehensive Connectivity: Built-in USB 3.0, USB 2.0, SATA, PCIe and dual Ethernet support accommodates a wide range of peripherals and high-speed data paths without added bridge chips.
• Automotive‑grade Qualification: AEC‑Q100 qualification and −40 °C to 125 °C operating range provide the environmental robustness required for in-vehicle deployments.
• Hardware Security Primitives: Crypto accelerators, secure boot and isolation firewalls enable a hardware-backed security posture for protecting system IP and data.
• Scalable Memory Support: On-chip L3 cache plus DDR3/DDR3L external memory support (up to DDR3‑1333 and 2 GB) provides flexible memory configurations to match application needs.
• Compact High‑pin Package: 760‑FCBGA (23×23 mm) package delivers a dense I/O footprint for feature-rich designs in space-constrained systems.
