LS1022AXN7EKB

The LS1022AXN7EKB is an NXP QorIQ Layerscape microprocessor integrating dual ARM® Cortex®-A7 cores at 600 MHz in a 525-FCPBGA (19×19) package. Designed for industrial embedded networking and control applications, it delivers a compact, power-efficient processing solution with integrated networking and security capabilities.

Targeted at power-sensitive enterprise and industrial designs, the device combines multicore compute, multimedia acceleration and a broad set of I/O controllers to simplify system integration and reduce overall BOM complexity.

Key Features

• Core and Performance — Dual ARM® Cortex®-A7 cores, 32-bit, clocked at 600 MHz; includes NEON™ SIMD multimedia acceleration and a dual-precision floating-point unit for compute and signal processing tasks.
• Cache and Reliability — ECC protection on L1 and L2 caches; L1 caches sized at 32 KB per core and a shared coherent L2 cache (family documentation cites up to 512 KB), improving data integrity in critical applications.
• Memory Controllers — Supports DDR memory controllers. Product specifications list DDR3L and DDR4 support; family documentation notes the LS1022A is limited to DDR3L operation up to 1,033 MHz.
• Networking and Storage I/O — Integrated Ethernet ports (GbE x2 per product specs), and SATA 3 Gbps (1) for networked storage and connectivity.
• Peripheral Connectivity — USB 2.0 host/device (1) plus multiple serial interfaces typical to the family for system peripherals and control interfaces.
• Security — Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® provide hardware-assisted secure boot and partitioning of trusted/non-trusted software domains.
• Package and Thermal — 525-FCPBGA (19×19) surface-mount package; industrial-grade operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant and qualified for industrial use.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise and Industrial Networking — Suitable for routers, controllers and line cards requiring dual-core processing, Ethernet connectivity and hardware security.
• IoT Gateways — Provides compute, secure boot and multi-protocol I/O to aggregate and pre-process IoT data at the network edge.
• Security Appliances — Dual cores with NEON acceleration and TrustZone enable secure packet handling and application isolation for firewall and VPN functions.
• Building Automation and Smart Energy — Industrial temperature rating and integrated interfaces make it suitable for gateway and controller roles in automation systems.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Dual-Core Architecture: Two ARM Cortex-A7 cores at 600 MHz offer efficient multi-threaded performance for control and networking tasks while keeping power consumption low.
• Hardware-Assisted Security: Secure Boot and TrustZone® support enable secure device initialization and trusted execution environments for protecting firmware and data.
• Integrated I/O for Networking: On-chip Ethernet and SATA interfaces reduce external PHY and controller requirements, simplifying board design and lowering BOM cost.
• Industrial Readiness: Qualification for industrial operation and an operating range of −40 °C to 105 °C provide robustness for harsh environments.
• System-Level Reliability: ECC-protected caches and coherent L2 cache improve data integrity for sustained operation in critical applications.
