LS1023ASN7MQB

The LS1023ASN7MQB is an NXP QorIQ Layerscape microprocessor featuring a dual-core ARM® Cortex®-A53 64-bit CPU running at 1.2 GHz in a 621-FCPBGA (21×21) package. It is targeted at embedded networking and industrial infrastructure where integrated I/O, security and efficient packet processing are required.

Designed for small-form-factor networking and industrial applications, the device combines multi-protocol SerDes, flexible Ethernet and peripheral interfaces, and hardware security features to deliver a compact, integrated building block for edge and communications equipment.

Key Features

• Core  Dual ARM® Cortex®-A53 64-bit cores at 1.2 GHz providing 64-bit processing in a compact SoC.
• Memory  Integrated memory controller support for DDR3L and DDR4 interfaces.
• Networking & I/O  Ethernet options supporting either 7×1GbE or 1×10GbE plus 5×1GbE; a single SATA 6 Gbps port; USB 3.0 (2) with PHY; and three PCIe® Gen2 DMA-controlled ports as described in the processor series documentation.
• High-speed SerDes  Four-lane, 10 GHz multi-protocol SerDes for high-speed interface connectivity and flexible board-level routing.
• Packet and Data Path Acceleration  QorIQ Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) and an integrated Frame Manager provide hardware packet parsing, classification and offload engines to reduce CPU overhead for packet processing.
• Security & Virtualization  Secure Boot and ARM® TrustZone® support, plus an integrated security engine (SEC 5.4) and CoreLink CCI-400 with SMMU for hardware-enforced memory access controls.
• Package & Thermal  621-FCPBGA (21×21) surface-mount package; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Integrated services and edge appliances  Compact compute and packet-handling for services deployed at the network edge.
• Branch office routers and vCPE  Hardware offloads and flexible Ethernet configurations suitable for small routing and virtualized customer premises equipment.
• Multi-protocol IoT gateways  Multi-protocol SerDes, USB and serial support for gateway aggregation and protocol translation.
• Industrial PLC and control  Designed for small-form-factor industrial control boards with integrated I/O and a wide operating-temperature headroom.
• Security appliances  On-chip security engine and Secure Boot/TrustZone features for in-line IPsec and secure processing.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated I/O  Multiple Ethernet configurations, PCIe, SATA and USB 3.0 reduce external controller requirements and simplify BOM.
• Hardware packet acceleration  DPAA and Frame Manager offloads packet parsing and classification to lower CPU load for networking use cases.
• Security-enabled platform  Secure Boot, TrustZone and the integrated SEC 5.4 engine enable secure system boot and in-line cryptographic processing.
• Memory flexibility  Support for DDR3L and DDR4 memory types enables designers to choose the best memory for cost and performance trade-offs.
• Compact, application-ready package  621-FCPBGA (21×21) and surface-mount mounting support small-form-factor PCB designs and simplified board layout.
• Designed for small-form-factor networking  Architecture and BOM optimizations described for the series help reduce PCB complexity, power-supply cost and clocking requirements.
