• Storage and USB — Two SATA 6 Gbps controllers and two USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY for storage and peripheral connectivity.
• PCIe and SerDes — Four PCIe Gen3-capable controllers with flexible lane widths and up to sixteen SerDes lanes operating up to 10.3125 GHz for high-bandwidth peripheral interfacing.
• Security — Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® support to enable hardware-backed platform security and trusted execution.
• Package and Thermal — 1292‑ball FCPBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm) with surface-mount mounting and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS compliant and supplied as a consumer‑qualified device.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment — Use the LS2088ASE711B to implement multi‑port routers, switches, and network appliances that require high aggregate Ethernet throughput and hardware acceleration for packet processing.
• Security and Firewall Appliances — Leverage integrated cryptography acceleration and Secure Boot/TrustZone features to build secure network security platforms with offloaded crypto workloads.
• Edge Compute and Communication Gateways — Deploy as an edge compute engine with abundant I/O (SATA, USB, PCIe) and DDR4 memory support for low-latency data processing and protocol handling.
• Storage and Gateway Devices — Combine SATA controllers, USB 3.0, and high-speed PCIe connectivity for compact storage gateways and data aggregation nodes.

Unique Advantages

• High Compute Density: Eight ARM® Cortex®‑A72 cores at up to 2.1 GHz provide substantial multi-threaded processing within a single device footprint.
• Integrated Datapath Acceleration: DPAA2 offloads packet parsing, queue management and crypto tasks to reduce host CPU load and simplify adapter designs.
• Rich I/O Portfolio: Multiple 10GbE/2.5GbE MACs, PCIe Gen3 controllers, SATA and USB 3.0 reduce the need for external bridging components and lower BOM complexity.
• Security Foundation: Secure Boot and TrustZone® enable hardware-enforced trust and partitioning for secure system buildout.
• Robust Memory Support: DDR4 controllers with ECC and interleaving support provide reliable high‑speed memory operation for demanding workloads.
• Compact Package: 1292‑FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) surface‑mount package balances integration density with thermal and routing considerations for embedded PCBs.
