The part targets applications requiring integrated display, audio and multimedia processing with flexible memory and peripheral interfaces.

Key Features

• Heterogeneous Multi‑Core Architecture — Two Arm Cortex‑A72, four Arm Cortex‑A53 and two Arm Cortex‑M4F cores for scalable application and real‑time workloads.
• High Frequency Performance — CPU performance up to 1.6 GHz to support compute‑intensive tasks.
• Graphics & Video — Dual 32‑bit GPU subsystems and a 4K H.265 capable VPU for high‑resolution video decode and rich graphical user interfaces.
• Memory & Storage Interfaces — Supports LPDDR4 memory and a range of storage interfaces including Quad/Octal SPI (FlexSPI), eMMC5.1, RAW NAND and SD 3.0 for flexible system memory and boot options.
• Peripheral Connectivity — Wide peripheral I/O options including PCIe and multiple display output options (MIPI‑DSI, HDMI, eDP/DP, LVDS) for system expansion and varied display topologies.
• Audio Processing — Integrated high‑performance Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP alongside Arm cores for multicore audio processing and voice recognition workflows.
• Package & Mounting — FCPBGA surface‑mount package, 29 × 29 mm body with 0.75 mm pitch offering a compact system footprint.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range from −40 °C to 125 °C for deployment across a wide thermal envelope.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Infotainment Systems — Runs rich multimedia user interfaces and multi‑display infotainment stacks using dual GPUs and the 4K VPU.
• High‑Resolution Display Platforms — Drives single 4K displays or multiple smaller displays via MIPI‑DSI, HDMI, eDP/DP and LVDS outputs.
• Advanced Audio and Voice — Supports multicore audio processing and voice recognition with the Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP and CPU offload.
• Embedded Multimedia Controllers — Combines general‑purpose application cores and real‑time M4F cores for mixed real‑time and application processing.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous compute in a single device: Consolidates application, efficiency and real‑time cores to reduce system BOM and simplify software partitioning.
• Integrated multimedia subsystems: Dual GPUs and a 4K H.265 VPU enable high‑resolution video and advanced graphical user experiences without separate accelerators.
• Flexible memory and boot options: LPDDR4 support plus multiple storage interfaces (eMMC5.1, FlexSPI, RAW NAND, SD 3.0) ease integration across design choices.
• Comprehensive I/O expandability: PCIe and a broad set of peripheral interfaces allow scalable connectivity and subsystem integration.
• Wide thermal operating range: −40 °C to 125 °C operation supports deployment in varied environmental conditions.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 29 × 29 mm FCPBGA reduces PCB area while providing a high pin‑count platform.
