LX2080XC71826B

The LX2080XC71826B is an NXP Layerscape QorIQ microprocessor featuring an ARM® Cortex®-A72 architecture configured as an 8-core, 64-bit MPU running at 1.8 GHz. Designed for embedded and industrial systems, it integrates high-speed I/O, multiple storage and peripheral interfaces, and hardware security features to address compute- and connectivity‑intensive applications.

With industrial qualification and broad I/O—dual 100 Gbit/s Ethernet, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0, CANbus and DDR4 memory controllers—the device targets edge networking, industrial control, and embedded compute platforms that require performance, integration and extended temperature operation.

Key Features

• ARM® Cortex®-A72 CPU — Eight 64-bit Cortex-A72 cores running at 1.8 GHz for multi-threaded embedded compute and control tasks.
• Memory — Integrated DDR4 memory controller support for high-bandwidth system memory.
• High‑speed Ethernet — Two 100 Gbit/s Ethernet interfaces for high-throughput networking and data forwarding.
• Storage and USB — Four SATA 3.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports plus PHY support to serve storage and peripheral connectivity needs.
• Peripheral and vehicle interfaces — CANbus support for robust control and management connectivity in industrial or control networks.
• Security — Secure Boot and Arm TrustZone® to provide hardware-backed platform integrity and trusted execution domains.
• Graphics acceleration — On-chip graphics acceleration to offload basic display and UI tasks from the CPU cores.
• Industrial qualification & temperature range — Industrial qualification with operating temperature from −40 °C to 105 °C for harsh-environment deployment.
• Package & mounting — 1517‑FCPBGA (40 × 40 mm) FCBGA package, surface mount for compact board integration.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Edge and telecom networking: Dual 100 Gbit/s Ethernet and high‑performance CPU cores enable control-plane and data-plane tasks in edge routers, switches and network appliances.
• Industrial control systems: Industrial qualification, CANbus and wide temperature range support real‑time control, gateways and automation controllers.
• Storage and server offload: SATA 3.0 ports and high-throughput interfaces suit NAS, storage controllers and data‑offload modules.
• Embedded compute and HMI: Graphics acceleration combined with multicore CPU resources supports human‑machine interfaces, protocol processing and device management.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced multi-core performance: Eight 64-bit Cortex‑A72 cores at 1.8 GHz provide a blend of single-thread responsiveness and multi-thread throughput for embedded workloads.
• High I/O integration: Dual 100 Gbit/s Ethernet, SATA and USB reduce external controller requirements and simplify board design.
• Industrial readiness: Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range enable reliable deployment in demanding environments.
• Hardware security primitives: Secure Boot and TrustZone® support platform integrity and secure software partitioning without additional external security modules.
• Compact packaging: 1517‑FCPBGA (40×40) FCBGA surface-mount package provides a high-density solution for space-constrained systems.
• Standards and compliance: RoHS compliance streamlines regulatory acceptance and simplifies sourcing for commercial production.
