EWIXP455BAB

The EWIXP455BAB is an Intel IXP45x series microprocessor: a single 32-bit core running at 266 MHz in a 544-PBGA (35×35) surface-mount package. It is supplied as a commercial-grade embedded microprocessor with integrated co-processors and security accelerators.

Designed for embedded applications that require communications offload and onboard cryptographic support, the device combines a network processor engine and math acceleration with multiple Ethernet, USB and memory interfaces to simplify system integration.

Key Features

• Core Single 32-bit core at 266 MHz based on the Intel IXP45x series, providing deterministic processing for embedded tasks.
• Co-processors & Acceleration Integrated communications co-processor, network processor engine and math engine with multiply-accumulate capability for offloading packet and compute workloads.
• Memory On-chip controllers for DDR and SDRAM memory interfaces to support common embedded memory configurations.
• Interfaces Multiple connectivity options including Ethernet Mll (3) and SMII (3) interfaces, USB 1.1 (1) and USB 2.0 (1), plus an I2C interface for peripheral control.
• Security Hardware cryptographic and integrity features including 3DES, AES, MD5, SHA1 and an RNG for secure communications and data protection tasks.
• Package & Mounting 544-BBGA package (supplier package: 544-PBGA 35×35) supplied for surface-mount assembly.
• Operating Range & Compliance Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration included.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Communications Equipment Embedded network devices that leverage multiple Ethernet interfaces and the integrated network processor engine for packet handling.
• Secure Communications Appliances Devices that require hardware-accelerated cryptography (AES, 3DES, MD5, SHA1, RNG) for encrypted data transport and integrity checks.
• Embedded Gateways and Routers Gateways and router platforms that use DDR/SDRAM memory and USB connectivity alongside on-chip communications acceleration.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated network and math co-processors: On-chip communications and network processor engine plus math acceleration with multiply-accumulate reduce external processing requirements.
• Hardware security acceleration: Built-in AES, 3DES, MD5, SHA1 and RNG offload cryptographic workloads from the main core.
• Multiple high-speed interfaces: Three Mll and three SMII Ethernet interfaces plus USB 1.1/2.0 and I2C provide flexible connectivity options.
• Memory flexibility: DDR and SDRAM controllers enable use with common embedded memory types for system memory scalability.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant package: 544-PBGA (35×35) surface-mount package with 0 °C to 70 °C operating range suited to commercial embedded deployments.
