Key Features

• Dual-Core Architecture  ARM® Cortex®-A9 and ARM® Cortex®-M4 cores provide application-class processing alongside a dedicated real-time processor for responsive control tasks. The series supports Cortex-A9 operation up to 800 MHz while this device lists a 200 MHz core speed for the real-time domain.
• Memory Support  Integrated memory controllers support LPDDR2, LVDDR3 and DDR3 memory types to match a range of system performance and cost targets.
• High-Speed Networking  Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces enable gigabit-capable wired networking for industrial communications and edge applications.
• USB Connectivity  Multiple USB interfaces including USB 2.0 with PHY and USB 2.0 OTG with PHY provide flexible peripheral and host connectivity options.
• Security and System Integrity  On-chip security features include A-HAB, ARM TrustZone, CAAM, CSU, SNVS, System JTAG and TVDECODE to support secure boot and runtime protections.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Range  Qualified for industrial use with an operating temperature range of –40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Display and Audio Interfaces  Includes LCD and keypad display interface controllers and AC'97 support for legacy audio connectivity.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 400-MAPBGA (17×17 mm) surface-mount package for compact board integration.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Systems  Dual-core processing and real-time responsiveness suit motion control, PLCs and factory automation where deterministic control and application processing coexist.
• Medical Devices  Industrial qualification and secure boot/security features support medical instrumentation that requires reliable operation across extended temperature ranges.
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Integrated display interfaces and application-class processing enable responsive user interfaces and local graphics control.
• Edge Networking and Gateways  Dual gigabit Ethernet and multiple USB interfaces allow robust wired connectivity for edge routers, protocol gateways and data aggregation nodes.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous Processing: Combines an ARM Cortex-A9 application core with an ARM Cortex-M4 real-time core to separate high-level OS workloads from low-latency control tasks.
• Broad Memory Compatibility: Built-in controllers for LPDDR2, LVDDR3 and DDR3 simplify memory selection across cost and performance points.
• Industrial-Grade Reliability: Industrial qualification and –40 °C to 105 °C operating range enable deployment in harsh and temperature-variable environments.
• Robust Security Suite: Multiple on-chip security modules (A-HAB, ARM TZ, CAAM, CSU, SNVS) support secure boot, trusted execution and runtime protection.
• Flexible Connectivity: Dual gigabit Ethernet ports plus USB host/OTG and AC'97 provide a comprehensive set of interfaces for networking, I/O expansion and multimedia peripherals.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 400-MAPBGA (17×17 mm) footprint supports dense board layouts and modern embedded form factors.
