• Memory Integrated DDR4 memory controller to support modern system memory requirements.
• Networking Multiple high‑speed Ethernet interfaces including two 10GbE, one 2.5GbE and four 1GbE ports for flexible network topologies and uplink/downlink configurations.
• Storage & I/O SATA 6 Gbps support (SATA 3.0) plus three USB 3.0 ports with PHY for high‑throughput peripheral and storage connectivity.
• PCIe Expansion PCI Express Gen3 controllers available for high‑speed host and peripheral expansion (series documentation indicates PCIe Gen3 support).
• Security & Acceleration Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® support, together with integrated packet processing acceleration and a security engine for hardware‑assisted cryptography and protocol offload.
• Package & Mounting 780‑FCPBGA (23 × 23 mm) BGA package; surface‑mount design suitable for compact system boards.
• Qualification & Temperature Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise and Service Provider Gateways — Dual A72 cores with multi‑gigabit Ethernet and packet acceleration support data plane and control plane tasks in gateway and edge routers.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS) — SATA 3.0 plus USB 3.0 and high‑speed networking enable compact NAS designs with direct connectivity and network throughput.
• Security Appliances — Integrated security engine, Secure Boot and TrustZone® provide hardware‑anchored features for VPN, firewall and encrypted tunnel offload.
• Single Board Computers and Linecard Controllers — Rich I/O, PCIe Gen3 expansion and DDR4 support make the part suitable for SBCs and intelligent linecard controllers.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Packet Acceleration: Offloads classification and distribution tasks to free CPU cycles for application logic.
• Multi‑Gigabit Networking: Two 10GbE ports plus 2.5GbE and 1GbE options support flexible uplink/downlink configurations without external PHYs for each link.
• Security Built In: Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® enable device‑level trust and secure lifecycle features for sensitive deployments.
• Compact, Industrial‑Ready Package: 780‑FCPBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package and −40 °C to 105 °C range suit space‑constrained, temperature‑challenging applications.
• Rich Peripheral Set: DDR4, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 3.0 and PCIe Gen3 provide a broad I/O baseline to minimize external components and accelerate system integration.
