Highly integrated for compact designs, the device includes an on-chip power management unit and on-chip SRAM, and supports common external memory technologies—making it suitable for HMI panels, handheld instruments, smart meters and other embedded applications.

Key Features

• Core & Performance Single ARM926EJ-S 32-bit core operating up to 454 MHz for deterministic control and application processing.
• Memory Support On-chip 128-Kbyte SRAM plus controllers for LVDDR, LVDDR2 and DDR2; supports external SLC and MLC NAND Flash.
• Power Management Integrated power management unit comprised of a triple-output DC‑DC switching converter and multiple linear regulators, with Li‑Ion battery charging capability and device power sequencing.
• Security Hardware-supported Boot Security, Cryptography and a Hardware ID to enable secure device identity and protected boot flows.
• Connectivity & Interfaces Single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, two USB 2.0 ports with PHY, I2C and keypad display controller support for common embedded I/O and peripheral connectivity.
• Co-Processor Dedicated Data Co-Processor (DCP) to offload data processing tasks and accelerate cryptographic operations.
• Package & Mounting 289-ball MAPBGA (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) surface-mount package suitable for compact board layouts.
• Qualification & Operating Range Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 70 °C for a wide set of commercial applications.

Typical Applications

• Human‑Machine Interface (HMI) Panels — Drives industrial and home HMI displays and keypad interfaces with integrated I/O and keypad controller support.
• Industrial Control & PLCs — Provides deterministic application processing and external memory support for control, I/O and display subsystems.
• Handheld Scanners & Printers — Compact, low‑power processing with integrated PMU and memory controllers for portable devices.
• Medical & Portable Monitoring — Suitable for patient-monitoring and portable medical devices where compact integration and secure boot are required.
• Smart Energy & Gateways — Supports smart meters and energy gateway applications with Ethernet and multiple peripheral interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated power management: On-chip triple-output DC‑DC converter and linear regulators simplify board power design and sequencing for peripherals and memory.
• Compact board footprint: 289-ball MAPBGA (14×14 mm) package enables high-density, space-constrained designs.
• On-chip SRAM: 128 KB of internal SRAM can reduce or eliminate the need for external RAM in small-footprint RTOS designs.
• Versatile memory interfaces: Controllers for LVDDR/LVDDR2/DDR2 and support for SLC/MLC NAND Flash provide flexible memory choices for performance and cost trade-offs.
• Built-in connectivity: Integrated Ethernet MAC and dual USB 2.0+PHY ports enable standard network and host/device interfaces without additional controllers.
• Security primitives: Hardware Boot Security, Cryptography and Hardware ID enable secure device identity and protected boot capabilities.
