• Memory Interfaces Supported memory controllers include LPDDR2, LVDDR3 and DDR3 to accommodate a range of system memory designs.
• Connectivity Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and multiple USB PHYs (USB 2.0 + PHY and USB 2.0 OTG + PHY) provide high-speed wired interfaces for networking and peripherals.
• Display & Audio Interfaces Display interface controllers support keypad and LCD integration; additional audio/legacy interface support includes AC'97.
• Security Hardware security features include A‑HAB, ARM TrustZone (ARM TZ), CAAM, CSU, SNVS, System JTAG and TVDECODE to support secure boot and system integrity functions.
• Package & Mounting Available in a 400‑MAPBGA (14×14) supplier device package / 400‑LFBGA case, designed for surface‑mount assembly.
• Operating Range & Compliance Rated for an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliant for environmental compliance in manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Digital Signage — Drive content playback and networked display systems with multi‑core processing and gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI) — Run responsive user interfaces and keypad/LCD control while offloading deterministic tasks to the M4 core.
• IoT Gateways — Combine application processing and secure connectivity for protocol bridging and edge data aggregation.
• Point‑of‑Sale (POS) Devices — Support transaction processing, peripheral connectivity and network links via integrated USB and Ethernet interfaces.
• Portable Medical Devices — Enable embedded control and data handling in compact systems within the specified temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous dual‑core processing: Combines a high‑performance Cortex‑A9 application core with a Cortex‑M4 real‑time core to partition tasks between rich OS workloads and deterministic control.
• Flexible memory support: LPDDR2, LVDDR3 and DDR3 controller compatibility lets designers choose memory technology to match performance and cost targets.
• Robust wired connectivity: Dual gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple USB PHYs simplify networked and peripheral system design without external bridging.
• Comprehensive hardware security: Built‑in features such as A‑HAB, ARM TrustZone and CAAM enable secure boot and cryptographic acceleration for protected systems.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 400‑MAPBGA (14×14) surface‑mount package supports dense board layouts and automated assembly processes.
• Industry‑oriented thermal range and compliance: −20 °C to 105 °C rating and RoHS compliance align with a range of embedded deployment environments and manufacturing standards.
