• Memory  32- or 64-bit DDR1/DDR2 memory controller supporting data rates up to 400 MHz for flexible system memory configurations.
• High-speed Interfaces  Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, USB 2.0 host/device controller with PHY, 32-bit PCI up to 66 MHz (Rev 2.3 compatible), PCI Express (Rev 1.0a) supporting x1/x2 widths, and integrated SATA controllers supporting SATA I/II (1.5 and 3.0 Gbaud).
• Security Engine  Integrated security features (device marked with “E”) including a security engine capable of public-key and symmetric crypto, AES up to 256-bit with multiple modes, DES/3DES, message digest units and a hardware random number generator.
• Peripherals and System I/O  Built-in peripherals include DUART, SPI, dual I²C controllers, 4-channel DMA and an enhanced local bus controller with support for boot from NAND and NOR flash.
• Package & Mounting  689-BBGA exposed pad, supplier package 689-TEPBGA II (31×31), surface mount package suitable for compact board designs.
• Operating Range & Qualification  Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Wireless Access Points  Integrated Ethernet, PCI Express and security engine make the device suitable for wireless infrastructure requiring packet processing and secure connectivity.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS)  On-chip SATA controllers and robust memory interface provide a compact platform for entry-level NAS and storage appliances.
• SMB Routers and Gateways  Dual Gigabit Ethernet and integrated security accelerate routing, firewall and VPN functions for small-to-medium business equipment.
• Printers and Imaging Devices  PCI Express and high-speed I/O support system integration and peripheral connectivity for print engines and multifunction devices.
• Industrial Networking Equipment  Industrial temperature qualification and comprehensive I/O make the device suitable for embedded industrial communications and control nodes.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: Dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, SATA and USB reduce the need for external controllers and simplify board-level BOM.
• Integrated security engine: Built-in cryptography, RSA/Diffie-Hellman support, AES (up to 256-bit) and a hardware RNG enable secure storage and network functions without separate crypto processors.
• Flexible memory support: 32- or 64-bit DDR1/DDR2 controller at up to 400 MHz allows designers to balance cost and performance.
• Industrial-ready operation: −40 °C to 125 °C rating and industrial qualification support deployment in demanding environments.
• System-level peripherals: Local bus, DMA, DUART, SPI and I²C simplify integration of boot, control and peripheral interfaces.
• RoHS compliant: Environmentally compliant construction supports regulatory and procurement requirements.
