LS1024ASE7JLA

The LS1024ASE7JLA is an NXP QorIQ Layerscape communications microprocessor featuring dual ARM® Cortex®-A9 cores running up to 1.2 GHz. Designed for embedded networking and storage applications, the device combines multi-gigabit interfaces, integrated storage and offload accelerators, and hardware security features to address networking, gateway, and NAS use cases.

With DDR3 memory controllers, multiple GbE ports, SATA interfaces and USB PHYs in a compact 625-FCPBGA (21×21) package, this part targets designs that need balanced performance, integration and power efficiency in commercial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Core Dual ARM® Cortex®-A9 cores, 32-bit, up to 1.2 GHz delivering up to 6000 DMIPS as documented for the LS1024A series.
• Memory Integrated DDR3 memory controllers for system memory interfacing.
• Networking and Packet Processing Three GbE interfaces and packet acceleration logic with offload capabilities to reduce host CPU load and minimize on-chip packet processing latency.
• Storage Two SATA 3 Gbps (SATA-2) interfaces with integrated RAID controller capabilities suitable for networked storage applications.
• USB USB 2.0 with PHY (1) and USB 3.0 with PHY for peripheral and host connectivity.
• Security Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® plus hardware security encryption for IPsec and SSL to enable secure communications and platform integrity.
• Accelerators and Inspection Deep packet inspection engine and content screening features for policy enforcement and intrusion detection/ prevention use cases.
• Power and Efficiency Series-level typical power characteristics include low-power design (documented <2 W typical at 900 MHz for LS1024A series), supporting energy-conscious designs.
• Package and Temperature 625-FCPBGA (21×21) surface-mount package; operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Home and Small Business Gateways: High-end VoIP and video-enabled home gateways that require packet offload and secure connectivity.
• Security Appliances: Small- to mid-sized business firewalls and VPN/SSL appliances leveraging hardware encryption and packet acceleration.
• Enterprise Access Points: Ethernet-powered 802.11n access point platforms benefiting from multi-GbE interfaces and processing headroom.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS): Consumer and SMB networked storage products using SATA interfaces and integrated RAID support.
• Secure Payment Terminals: Payment systems requiring Secure Boot, TrustZone®, and hardware cryptographic support.

Unique Advantages

• Dual-core processing with measurable throughput: Two ARM Cortex-A9 cores up to 1.2 GHz providing multi-threaded application performance (documented up to 6000 DMIPS for the series).
• Integrated networking and storage I/O: Triple GbE, SATA-2 interfaces and onboard RAID enable dense I/O capability with fewer external controllers.
• Hardware security and trusted boot: Secure Boot, TrustZone®, and hardware encryption for common secure tunnels (IPsec/SSL) help protect data in transit and platform integrity.
• Packet acceleration and inspection: Offload logic and deep packet inspection functions reduce application CPU load and enable content screening and policy enforcement.
• Energy-conscious design: Series-level low-power characteristics (documented <2 W typical at 900 MHz) support power-sensitive deployments.
• Compact commercial-grade package: 625-FCPBGA (21×21) surface-mount package enables high-density board designs for space-constrained products.
