Built for graphically rich, responsive user interfaces and connected embedded systems, this device combines a 32-bit Cortex-A9 core with on-chip graphics/video engines, multiple high-speed interfaces, and extensive security features—delivered in a 624-ball MAPBGA 21 × 21 mm package and rated for industrial temperature operation.

Key Features

• Processor Core — Single ARM® Cortex®-A9 32-bit core operating up to 800 MHz, suitable for embedded control and UI tasks.
• Memory Interfaces — Integrated memory controllers for LPDDR2, LVDDR3, and DDR3 providing flexible system memory options.
• Graphics and Video — On-chip 2D/3D graphics acceleration and series-level support for 1080p video processing to enable rich user interfaces.
• Connectivity — Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps, 1 port) plus multiple USB 2.0 ports with PHY (4) and CAN for automotive-style network integration.
• Security and Boot — Hardware security capabilities including ARM TrustZone, boot security, cryptography, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory, secure RTC and tamper detection to support protected boot and runtime operation.
• Package and Mounting — 624-ball MAPBGA (21 × 21 mm) supplier package, corresponding 624-LFBGA case; surface-mount device for compact PCB integration.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature — Qualified for industrial use with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C.
• Integration — Integrated power management and multimedia co-processors (NEON™ SIMD and multimedia DSP) as noted in device documentation to reduce external component count.
• Standards Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial HMI and Control — Drives graphically rich human-machine interfaces and real-time control tasks while operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• Medical Devices — Supports responsive GUIs and secure boot/runtime features suitable for embedded medical equipment requiring industrial qualification.
• Connected Embedded Systems — Provides gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB ports, and CAN connectivity for networked instrumentation and gateway applications.
• Multimedia Interfaces — Enables 2D/3D-accelerated displays and 1080p-capable video processing for rich media kiosks and visual information systems.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, production-ready package: 624-ball MAPBGA (21 × 21 mm) surface-mount footprint simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained embedded designs.
• Industrial operating range: −40 °C to 125 °C qualification supports deployment in demanding ambient conditions.
• Multimedia-capable single-core MPU: 800 MHz Cortex-A9 core combined with graphics/video engines and NEON SIMD for responsive UIs with reduced external processing needs.
• Broad peripheral set: Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports with PHY, and CAN enable flexible connectivity options without adding controllers.
• Hardware security stack: Multiple security mechanisms (ARM TZ, secure JTAG, secure fusebox, cryptography, secure RTC, tamper detection) help protect boot and runtime integrity.
• Flexible memory support: Integrated controllers for LPDDR2, LVDDR3 and DDR3 allow designers to choose memory types that match performance and cost targets.
