Key Features

• Core & cache Eight ARM® Cortex®-A72 cores (64-bit) operating up to 2.1 GHz; clustered cores share 1 MB L2 per cluster and a 1 MB platform cache with ECC protection.
• Memory Two 64-bit DDR4 SDRAM memory controllers with ECC and interleaving support for high-bandwidth system memory.
• Datapath acceleration (DPAA2) Integrated DPAA2 including a Wire-rate IO Processor (WRIOP) for packet parsing/classification, queue and buffer management (QBMan), and hardware acceleration engines for cryptography, regex and compression/decompression.
• Security & boot Implements TrustZone® and Secure Boot; includes a service processor for pre-boot initialization and secure-boot capabilities.
• Networking Up to eight 10 GbE MACs and up to sixteen 1/2.5 GbE MACs, plus 16 SerDes lanes supporting high-speed serial connectivity.
• High-speed I/O Four PCIe 3.0 controllers (various lane widths and GEN3 support), two SATA 3.0 controllers, and two USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY.
• Peripheral integration Integrated flash controller (IFC 2.0) supporting NAND/NOR, SD host, SPI/QSPI, multiple I2C controllers and DUARTs for broad board-level connectivity.
• System features Hardware virtualization and partitioning enforcement; qDMA engine for efficient data movement.
• Package & environmental Supplied in a 1292-FCPBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm), surface-mount; industrial qualification with operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• High-performance networking equipment — Packet parsing, classification and wire-rate processing using DPAA2 acceleration for routers, switches and network appliances.
• Security and firewall appliances — On-chip cryptography acceleration and TrustZone®/Secure Boot support secure data plane and control plane implementations.
• Industrial gateways and edge compute — Industrial temperature range and integrated I/O make it suitable for edge devices requiring compute and robust connectivity.
• Storage and NAS controllers — Dual SATA 3.0 controllers plus integrated flash controller for storage subsystem control and boot storage.
• Virtualized platforms and NFV — Hardware virtualization support and multiple PCIe controllers enable partitioned, virtualized network functions.

Unique Advantages

• Multi-core performance with scalable cache: Eight Cortex-A72 cores and platform/L2 ECC-protected caches provide deterministic multi-threaded performance for compute- and packet-intensive workloads.
• Integrated datapath acceleration: DPAA2 offloads packet parsing, queuing, crypto and compression tasks to reduce CPU load and improve throughput.
• Comprehensive I/O set: High-count Ethernet MACs, PCIe Gen3 controllers, SATA and USB 3.0 with PHY simplify system design and reduce external controllers.
• Security-first platform: TrustZone®, Secure Boot and a service processor provide layered boot- and runtime security for protected deployments.
• Industrial-ready thermal range: −40 °C to 105 °C operation and industrial qualification support deployment in harsh environments.
• Designed for integration: High-density 1292-FCPBGA package with extensive peripheral interfaces enables compact, feature-rich board designs.
