Key Features

• CPU Architecture  ARM® Cortex®-A72 cores, 4-core 64-bit configuration running up to 2.1 GHz, delivering multicore application and control-plane performance.
• Memory Subsystem  Dual DDR4 memory controllers with ECC and interleaving support and a 1 MB platform cache with ECC protection for reliable, high‑throughput memory access.
• Datapath Acceleration (DPAA2)  Integrated DPAA2 including Wire‑rate IO Processor (WRIOP), queue and buffer management (QBMan), cryptography acceleration (SEC 5.2), RegEx pattern matching (PME), and decompression/compression (DCE) to offload packet and security processing.
• High‑Speed Networking  Multiport Ethernet capability with up to eight 10 GbE MACs, up to sixteen 1 GbE MACs, and one 2.5 GbE MAC for flexible port-count and bandwidth options.
• Peripheral and I/O  Four PCIe 3.0 controllers with flexible lane widths, 16 SerDes lanes, two SATA 6 Gb/s ports, two USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY, SD/eMMC support, SPI/QSPI and multiple I2C controllers.
• Security and Boot  Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® support to enable trusted boot and hardware-backed isolation for secure embedded systems.
• Package and Thermal  1292-ball FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm), surface-mount package; industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Telecom Equipment  Multi‑core CPU, DPAA2 acceleration and multiple 10 GbE/1 GbE ports enable routing, switching, and packet-processing functions.
• Edge Compute & Security Appliances  TrustZone® and Secure Boot plus cryptography acceleration support secure edge services and inline security processing.
• Storage & NAS Controllers  SATA 6 Gb/s, high-speed PCIe and DDR4 memory support make the device suitable for storage controllers and data-handling appliances.
• Industrial Embedded Systems  Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O suit industrial gateways, protocol converters, and machine‑level controllers requiring sustained performance.

Unique Advantages

• High multicore throughput: Four 64‑bit Cortex‑A72 cores at up to 2.1 GHz provide strong application and control‑plane compute capacity.
• Built‑in datapath acceleration: DPAA2 offloads packet parsing, queue/buffer management, cryptography, and compression to free CPU cycles for application tasks.
• Extensive native I/O: Multiple 10 GbE/1 GbE ports, PCIe 3.0 controllers, SATA, USB3.0 and rich peripheral interfaces reduce external component count and design complexity.
• Secure platform foundation: Secure Boot and TrustZone® provide hardware-backed trust and partitioning for secure system designs.
• Industrial reliability: Surface-mount 1292‑FCPBGA package and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range meet industrial deployment requirements.
• Memory reliability: DDR4 controllers with ECC and a platform cache with ECC protection help maintain data integrity in demanding workloads.
