LS1012ASE7EKA

The LS1012ASE7EKA is a single-core, 64-bit microprocessor based on the ARM® Cortex®-A53 architecture, specified at 600 MHz in a compact 211-FCLGA package (9.6 × 9.6 mm). It combines low-power operation and integrated networking and storage interfaces for space-constrained, fanless embedded designs.

Targeted at networking, storage and IoT edge applications, the device emphasizes efficient packet handling, integrated high-speed I/O and platform security to accelerate development of consumer NAS, gateways and automation equipment.

Key Features

• Core — ARM® Cortex®-A53 single 64-bit core running at 600 MHz with NEON SIMD and dual-precision floating point support as described for the LS1012A series.
• Memory — DDR3L memory controller; the series supports 16-bit DDR3L devices and includes ECC-protected caches in the core complex.
• Networking — Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and a multi-protocol SerDes supporting high-speed interfaces; hardware packet forwarding engine (PFE) offloads IP packet processing for reduced CPU load.
• Storage and USB — Integrated SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) port and dual USB controllers: one USB 3.0 controller with integrated PHY and one USB 2.0 controller.
• Security — Secure Boot and TrustZone® security features to support trusted platform and secure boot architectures.
• Package and Mounting — 211-FCLGA package (9.6 × 9.6 mm), surface-mount mounting type suitable for compact system designs.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliant; consumer qualification.
• On-chip Acceleration — Hardware accelerators for packet processing and security (as described for the LS1012A series) to improve throughput and efficiency in networking workloads.

Typical Applications

• Trust-enabled IoT Gateways — Secure edge processing and packet handling for IoT gateway devices requiring compact, low-power compute.
• Consumer NAS — Integrated SATA and network interfaces for consumer network-attached storage systems.
• Mobile NAS (Battery Powered) — Low-power single-core design and compact package for mobile storage appliances.
• Entry-level Broadband Ethernet Gateways — Dual GbE and hardware packet forwarding to support broadband gateway functions with reduced CPU load.
• Building and Factory Automation — Compact, fanless-ready processor with security features for automation controllers and edge devices.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, surface-mount package: 211-FCLGA (9.6 × 9.6 mm) enables small form-factor, fanless system designs.
• Integrated high-speed I/O: Native GbE, SATA 6 Gbps and USB 3.0 with PHY reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Hardware packet offload: The packet forwarding engine (PFE) offloads IP packet processing, improving throughput and lowering CPU utilization for networking tasks.
• Platform security: Secure Boot and TrustZone® support help implement trusted boot and isolated execution for secure embedded applications.
• Power-efficient compute: Designed for low-power operation suitable for fanless and mobile applications while delivering 64-bit ARM compute.
