LS1012AXN7HKB

The LS1012AXN7HKB is an NXP QorIQ Layerscape microprocessor in a compact 211-FCLGA (9.6 × 9.6 mm) package. It integrates a single 64‑bit ARM® Cortex®‑A53 core operating at 800 MHz with hardware acceleration and trust features aimed at fanless, small form‑factor networking and IoT applications.

Targeted use cases include IoT gateways, consumer and mobile NAS, entry‑level Ethernet gateways and industrial automation where integrated packet processing, security and low power are priorities.

Key Features

• Core Single ARM® Cortex®‑A53 64‑bit core at 800 MHz with NEON SIMD and dual‑precision FPU; ECC‑protected L1 and 256 KB coherent L2 cache.
• Memory Integrated memory controller supporting 16‑bit DDR3L devices; DDR3L controller suited for low‑power memory configurations.
• Networking and Packet Acceleration Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports plus an integrated hardware packet forwarding engine (PFE) capable of 2 Gbit/s IP forwarding to offload CPU packet processing.
• High‑speed Interfaces One SATA 6 Gbps port, one USB 3.0 controller with integrated PHY, one USB 2.0 controller, and a multi‑protocol SerDes supporting PCIe Gen2 and other high‑speed links.
• Security Secure Boot and TrustZone® support to enable platform trust and boot integrity.
• Package and Environmental 211‑FCLGA (9.6 × 9.6 mm) surface‑mount package; industrial qualification with operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C; RoHS compliant.
• Power & Efficiency Designed as an energy‑efficient communications processor suitable for fanless and battery‑sensitive applications (series noted as a 1 W typical power microprocessor).
• System Enablement Supported by evaluation boards and a software ecosystem including Linux BSPs and development tool support for rapid prototyping and integration.

Typical Applications

• Trust‑enabled IoT Gateways Use Secure Boot and TrustZone® to establish device trust while providing packet acceleration for gateway throughput.
• Consumer and Mobile NAS SATA 6 Gbps and efficient CPU performance enable compact NAS implementations including battery‑sensitive mobile NAS designs.
• Entry‑level Broadband Ethernet Gateways Dual GbE ports and the PFE offload IP forwarding to enable responsive, low‑power gateway designs.
