- Display / HMI Display interface controllers include keypad support for human‑machine interface implementations.
- Security Hardware security features including boot security, cryptography, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory and tamper detection to help protect system integrity.
- Graphics No graphics acceleration (software or external graphics processing required for GUIs).
- Package & Mounting 400‑LFBGA (17×17) package, surface mount format for compact system integration.
- Operating Range Industrial temperature qualified with an operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C.
- Compliance RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Embedded Control — Use in control and monitoring nodes where industrial temperature qualification and CAN/Ethernet connectivity are required.
- IoT Edge Devices — Integration into IoT gateways and edge appliances leveraging Ethernet and USB interfaces plus on‑chip security.
- Human‑Machine Interfaces — Keypad‑driven HMI designs that require a compact BGA package and modest processing performance.
- Networked Peripherals — USB‑enabled peripheral controllers and networked modules utilizing the device’s USB and Ethernet support.
Unique Advantages
- Balanced processing at 400 MHz — Provides deterministic, single‑core performance for control and embedded workloads without unnecessary complexity.
- Flexible memory support — LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 controller compatibility allows designers to choose memory options that match cost and performance targets.
- Comprehensive wired connectivity — Integrated Ethernet, USB 2.0 with PHY and CAN reduce external component count for networked designs.
- Built‑in hardware security — Multiple on‑chip security mechanisms (boot security, cryptography, secure JTAG/memory/fusebox, tamper detection) help protect firmware and system assets.
- Industrial temperature qualification — −40 °C to 85 °C rating supports deployment in temperature‑sensitive industrial environments.
- Compact BGA package — 400‑LFBGA (17×17) enables high I/O density in space‑constrained embedded systems.
