LS1026AXE8MQA

The LS1026AXE8MQA is a dual-core, 64-bit ARM® Cortex®-A72 microprocessor in the NXP QorIQ Layerscape family, operating at 1.2 GHz. It combines high-performance CPU cores with integrated packet-processing acceleration and a broad set of high-speed interfaces for embedded networking, storage, security and industrial applications.

Designed for industrial qualification and wide temperature operation, the device targets designs demanding consolidated connectivity, hardware-assisted packet handling and on-chip security support while simplifying system integration through DDR4 memory support and a compact 23 × 23 mm FCPBGA package.

Key Features

• Core Dual ARM® Cortex®-A72 cores, 64-bit architecture at 1.2 GHz for compute-intensive embedded tasks.
• Memory Integrated DDR4 memory controller for modern high-bandwidth system memory.
• Networking Multiple integrated Ethernet controllers: two 10 GbE, one 2.5 GbE and four 1 GbE ports to support diverse network topologies and throughput requirements.
• Storage & USB SATA 6 Gbps interface for storage subsystems and three USB 3.0 ports with PHY for high-speed peripheral connectivity.
• High-speed I/O PCIe® Gen3 capability and high-speed SERDES connectivity (as described in series datasheet) for expansion and high-throughput I/O.
• Security Hardware-supported Secure Boot and ARM® TrustZone® for platform integrity and system-level isolation.
• Packaging & Mounting 780-FCPBGA package (23 × 23 mm), surface-mount with industrial-grade mounting and assembly compatibility.
• Operating Range & Compliance Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise Routing & Switching Use the integrated multi-rate Ethernet and packet processing acceleration to implement control-plane and line-card controller functions.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS) Combine SATA 6 Gbps, high-speed PCIe I/O and USB 3.0 to deliver connected storage solutions with high throughput.
• Security Appliances Leverage Secure Boot, TrustZone and on-chip security acceleration for encrypted tunnels and secure gateway functions.
• Service Provider Gateways & vCPE Scale network functions with hardware acceleration and multiple Ethernet ports for managed CPE and gateway platforms.
• Single Board Computers Integrate into compact SBC designs requiring industrial temperature support and a rich set of peripherals.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated high-speed interfaces: Two 10 GbE, one 2.5 GbE, four 1 GbE, SATA 6 Gbps and multiple USB 3.0 ports reduce external PHY and bridge requirements.
• Hardware packet processing acceleration: On-chip packet handling offloads general-purpose cores to improve deterministic packet throughput and system efficiency.
• Built-in platform security: Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone support system integrity and trusted execution without adding external security controllers.
• Industrial-qualified temperature range: −40 °C to 105 °C supports deployment in harsh and wide-temperature environments.
• Compact BGA package: 780-FCPBGA (23 × 23 mm) balances high I/O density with a small PCB footprint for embedded system designs.
• DDR4 memory support: Modern memory interface for higher bandwidth and system performance in data- and packet-intensive applications.
