Designed for connected HMI and control applications, the device integrates memory controllers, Ethernet and USB connectivity, and on-chip power management features to reduce system-level complexity and optimize power consumption in active and low-power modes.

Key Features

• Core Single ARM926EJ-S 32-bit processor core running up to 400 MHz for general-purpose embedded processing.
• Memory Support Integrated controllers for LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 memory; the family supports up to 133 MHz DDR2 as documented in the processor series datasheet.
• Connectivity Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC and two USB 2.0 controllers with on‑chip PHYs for networked and USB-enabled designs.
• Security On-chip security features including Boot Security, Cryptography, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, Secure Memory and Tamper Detection to support protected boot and secure-key storage.
• Power Management Advanced, on-die power management features intended to minimize system power in both active and multiple low-power modes.
• Package & Mounting 400-LFBGA surface-mount package (17 × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) supplied in tray format for production assembly.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Range Industrial-qualified device rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C to meet embedded system environmental needs.

Typical Applications

• Graphical Remote Controls Provides the processing and interface support needed for graphical displays and user input handling in remote-control applications.
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) Used in HMIs to drive displays and manage touch or keypad inputs while supporting connected peripherals.
• Residential & Commercial Control Panels Integrates networking and secure boot features appropriate for control panels in residential and commercial systems.
• Residential Gateways / Smart Metering Embedded connectivity with Ethernet and USB enables gateway and metering designs that require secure communications and peripheral support.
• Handheld Scanners, Printers & Point‑of‑Sale Processor performance and peripheral integration support portable scanning, printing and POS terminal functions.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Connectivity: Built-in 10/100 Ethernet MAC plus two USB 2.0 controllers with PHYs reduce external transceiver requirements and simplify board design.
• Flexible Memory Interface: Support for LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 (including up to 133 MHz DDR2 documented in the series datasheet) enables a range of system memory configurations.
• Security-Ready Platform: Multiple on-chip security features—Boot Security, Cryptography, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG and Secure Memory—help safeguard firmware and data.
• Power-Aware Design: Integrated advanced power management features help minimize system power in active and low-power states, aiding battery and energy-constrained applications.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated from −40 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation in demanding embedded environments.
• Compact, Production-Ready Package: 400-LFBGA (17 × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) surface-mount package supplied in tray format for streamlined manufacturing.
