EWIXP460BAD

The EWIXP460BAD is an Intel-manufactured embedded microprocessor based on the Intel® IXP45X core architecture. It implements a single 32-bit core running at 533 MHz and is designed for embedded applications requiring integrated communications and security features.

As an industrial-grade device in a 544-PBGA (35×35) surface-mount package, this part targets embedded and communications-focused designs that require multiple network interfaces, on-chip memory controller support, and hardware security primitives.

Key Features

• Core Single Intel® IXP45X 32-bit core operating at 533 MHz, providing a compact processing element for embedded workloads.
• Co-Processors & Acceleration On-chip communications and network processor engine plus math engine with multiply-accumulate capabilities to accelerate packet and signal processing tasks.
• Memory Interfaces Integrated controllers for DDR and SDRAM to support system memory configurations.
• Ethernet and Connectivity Multiple physical interfaces including Mll (3) and SMII (3) plus I2C for peripheral control and system management.
• USB Provides USB 1.1 (1) and USB 2.0 (1) ports for host or device connectivity.
• Security Features Hardware support for 3DES, AES, DES, MD5, RNG, and SHA1 to enable encrypted communications and integrity checking.
• Package & Mounting 544-BBGA package (supplier device package: 544-PBGA, 35×35) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Temperature & Grade Industrial grade with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental requirements.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration—focused on communications and processing tasks rather than display or GPU workloads.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Equipment — Multi-port Ethernet interfaces and a network processor engine make this device suitable for switches, routers, and other packet-processing appliances.
• Industrial Control Systems — Industrial temperature rating and robust security primitives support control and telemetry applications in harsh environments.
• Communications Appliances — On-chip communications co-processors and USB connectivity enable protocol handling and peripheral interfacing in communications devices.
• Connectivity Modules — Compact 544-PBGA package and integrated memory controllers help reduce board area in embedded connectivity modules and appliances.

Unique Advantages

• Compact single-core processing: A 1-core, 32-bit 533 MHz design provides focused processing capability in a small footprint.
• Integrated networking acceleration: Communications and network processor engines plus a math engine reduce external component needs for packet and signal processing.
• Broad interface set: Multiple Ethernet interfaces, USB 1.1/2.0 and I2C enable versatile connectivity without extensive add-on components.
• Hardware security primitives: Built-in AES, 3DES, DES, MD5, SHA1 and RNG support secure communications and cryptographic operations on-chip.
• Industrial-ready packaging: 544-PBGA (35×35) surface-mount package and −40 °C to 85 °C operating range meet industrial deployment requirements.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance for restricted substances.
