Key Features

• Core Dual ARM® Cortex®‑A72 64‑bit cores running at 1.4 GHz, providing a balanced compute profile for control plane and application tasks.
• Memory Integrated DDR4 memory controller for modern system memory performance and bandwidth.
• Networking & High‑Speed I/O Multiple Ethernet controllers including two 10 GbE, one 2.5 GbE and four 1 GbE ports; includes high‑speed SerDes and PCIe Gen3 capability as part of the Layerscape family feature set.
• Storage & USB SATA 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0) interface for storage devices and three USB 3.0 ports with PHY for high‑speed host and device connectivity.
• Security & Acceleration Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® are supported; the series integrates a security engine for high‑speed protocol processing and cryptographic offload.
• Packet Processing Acceleration On‑chip packet acceleration and hardware elements for parsing, classification, distribution, queue and buffer management to offload packet handling from application cores.
• Package & Temperature 780‑FCPBGA (23 × 23 mm) surface‑mount package with industrial operating range from −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance RoHS‑compliant and qualified for industrial applications.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise Routers & Switches — Two 10 GbE ports, multi‑rate Ethernet and packet acceleration enable high‑performance control and data‑plane functions.
• Linecard Controllers — Integrated high‑speed I/O and packet processing help implement linecard control and traffic management tasks.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS) — SATA 6 Gbps plus USB 3.0 and DDR4 support enable NAS controller designs that require storage throughput and connectivity.
• Security Appliances — On‑chip security engine, Secure Boot and TrustZone® support accelerated protocol processing for IPsec/SSL/DTLS workloads.
• Single Board Computers & vCPE — Compact BGA package and rich I/O make the processor suitable for SBCs and virtual CPE platforms requiring industrial temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated interfaces: Multiple 10 GbE/2.5 GbE/1 GbE ports, SATA and USB 3.0 reduce external PHY and bridge requirements for space‑constrained designs.
