• Memory Interfaces Supports 32-bit LPDDR3, LPDDR4 and LPDDR4x memory interfaces to accommodate a range of performance and power profiles.
• Graphics & Display Graphics acceleration with NEON SIMD engine and MIPI display interfaces (MIPI‑DSI) and camera interfaces (MIPI‑CSI) for display and vision applications.
• Connectivity & I/O Integrated Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, dual USB 2.0 OTG ports, multiple UART/SPI/I2C/I3C/I2S interfaces, FlexSPI for serial flash and up to three eMMC/SD host interfaces.
• Security & Trusted Boot On-chip cryptographic acceleration, NIST-compliant random number generator, EdgeLock secure enclave (ELKe) root of trust, Advanced High Assurance Boot (AHAB) and one-time programmable fuse support for secure boot and key storage.
• System Integration & Reliability 512 KB L2 cache with Snoop Control Unit, 32 KB instruction/data caches per core, multiple DMA channels, secure/non-secure watchdog timers and on-chip boot ROM for robust system operation.
• Package & Environmental Industrial-grade mounting (surface mount), operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C; available in compact MAPBGA packaging (15 × 15 mm, 0.5 mm pitch as documented for the family).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control & HMI Run Linux-based user interfaces on the Cortex‑A35 cores while the Cortex‑M33 handles deterministic control and safety-critical tasks.
• Audio & Voice Platforms Leverage the Fusion DSP for low‑power audio processing and HiFi4 DSP for advanced audio algorithms and machine learning-based voice features.
• IoT Gateways & Connected Devices Use integrated Ethernet, multiple host interfaces, and flexible serial memory options to build compact, connected edge devices and gateways.
• Vision & Display Systems MIPI‑CSI and MIPI‑DSI interfaces plus graphics acceleration enable camera-based sensing and modern display-driven interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous compute in one device: Combines dual Cortex‑A35 application processors with a Cortex‑M33 real‑time core and multiple DSPs to consolidate application, control and signal processing domains.
• Integrated security foundation: EdgeLock secure enclave, AHAB boot ROM, cryptographic accelerators and a NIST-compliant RNG provide on-chip mechanisms for secure boot and protected key handling.
• Purpose-built audio and ML acceleration: Fusion F1 DSP for low‑power audio and HiFi4 DSP for advanced audio and machine learning workloads reduce external processor needs.
• Flexible memory and storage options: Support for LPDDR3/LPDDR4/LPDDR4x and multiple FlexSPI/eMMC/SD interfaces enables designers to select the optimal memory configuration for cost and performance.
• Industrial readiness: Industrial qualification and an extended operating temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C) support deployment in demanding environments.
• Rich peripheral set: Ethernet, dual USB OTG, MIPI‑CSI/DSI and multiple serial interfaces simplify BOM and accelerate design integration.
