• Memory Subsystem  Integrated DDR/DDR2 memory controller supporting 64‑ or 32‑bit data paths (72‑bit with ECC), up to 533 MHz DDR2 data rate and up to 400 MHz DDR data rate, and up to 16 Gbytes of addressable memory.
• I/O and Peripheral Interfaces  Dual PCI Express controllers (PCIe 1.0a) with support for multiple link widths, a 32‑bit PCI interface (33/66 MHz), dual I2C controllers, serial peripheral interface, DUART and AC97 support for audio connectivity.
• Display and Graphics  Integrated display interface unit (DIU) supporting parallel TTL with maximum resolution of 1280 × 1024 at 60 Hz and up to 24‑bit color depth for display or HMI implementations.
• System and Performance Management  MPX coherency module, address translation and mapping units (ATMUs), device performance monitor with multiple counters, watchdog timer and power/thermal management features.
• DMA and Timers  Dual integrated four‑channel DMA controllers accessible by local and remote masters, plus multiple high‑resolution timers and dual global timer modules.
• Connectivity and Expansion  Enhanced local bus controller (eLBC) operating up to 133 MHz with eight chip selects and dual PCI Express controllers offering scalable I/O bandwidth.
• Package and Environmental  783‑pin flip‑chip plastic ball grid array (783‑FCPBGA, 29 × 29 mm) surface‑mount package; industrial qualification with operating temperature from −40 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Embedded Systems  Suitable for industrial controllers and embedded appliances that require extended temperature support and integrated memory and I/O subsystems.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Integrated display interface and graphics capabilities enable use in color display panels and operator interfaces up to 1280 × 1024 resolution.
• High‑Throughput I/O and Networking Equipment  Dual PCIe controllers and a 32‑bit PCI interface provide scalable I/O bandwidth for communications and data‑plane applications.
• Memory‑Intensive Embedded Storage and Control  DDR/DDR2 memory controller with ECC support and up to 16 Gbytes addressing capacity supports systems that require large memory footprints and data integrity.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Memory and ECC  On‑chip DDR/DDR2 controller and 72‑bit ECC support reduce external memory complexity and improve system data integrity.
• On‑Chip Cache Hierarchy  Dedicated L1 instruction/data caches and a 256‑Kbyte L2 cache with ECC deliver predictable on‑chip performance and error detection.
• Scalable High‑Speed I/O  Dual PCIe controllers and a 32‑bit PCI interface enable scalable expansion and high‑bandwidth peripheral connectivity without added bridging components.
• Display Integration  Built‑in display interface simplifies HMI designs by providing parallel TTL connectivity at common resolutions and color depths.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C operation to meet the thermal demands of industrial deployments.
• Comprehensive System Management  On‑chip performance monitoring, timers, DMA channels and watchdog support system visibility, determinism and reliability.
