Key Features

• Core  PowerPC e500 32-bit core at 600 MHz providing single-core processing suited to embedded control and packet-processing tasks.
• Cache  Integrated L1 and L2 caches—32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 caches plus a 512 KB L2 cache—help reduce memory latency for compute and I/O workloads.
• Memory Controller  DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with ECC support; supports a 64-bit/32-bit data bus and main memory configurations up to 16 Gbytes as described in the product documentation.
• Security Engine (SEC)  Integrated security coprocessor optimized for cryptography and processing algorithms used in IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI and related secure communications.
• Networking  Two three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with support for multiple physical interfaces and IEEE 1588 compatibility for time-sensitive networking functions.
• Storage  Two Serial ATA controllers supporting SATA I and SATA II (3 Gbps) data rates and XOR engine support for parity checking in RAID storage applications.
• Peripheral Connectivity  Three USB 2.0 dual-role controllers, three PCI Express interfaces (including a configurable x8/x4/x2/x1 port and additional x4/x2/x1 or x2/x1 ports), eLBC and SD/MMC host controller support with boot capability.
• System and Power  On-chip DMA, dual I2C, DUART, programmable interrupt controller, and multiple power-management modes (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) to manage system power states.
• Package and Mounting  783-pin FC-PBGA package, 29 mm × 29 mm, supplied in tray for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment  Routers, gateways and switches that require integrated Ethernet controllers and packet-acceleration features for wired communications.
• Secure Communications  VPN endpoints, SSL/TLS and IPsec appliances leveraging the integrated security engine for cryptographic offload.
• Storage Systems  NAS and RAID storage controllers using the dual SATA interfaces and XOR parity acceleration for data protection and high-throughput storage connectivity.
• Embedded Control Systems  Industrial and communications controllers that benefit from a balanced mix of CPU performance, memory bandwidth and diverse peripheral interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Security Acceleration:  On-chip SEC coprocessor accelerates common cryptographic workloads, reducing CPU overhead for secure protocols.
• Comprehensive I/O Suite:  Multi-gigabit Ethernet, dual SATA, USB 2.0 and multiple PCIe ports minimize external controller requirements and reduce BOM complexity.
• Robust Memory Subsystem:  DDR2/DDR3 controller with ECC support and substantial L1/L2 cache improves data integrity and system reliability for memory-critical applications.
• Power Management Modes:  Multiple low-power states (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) enable flexible power/power-saving strategies for embedded deployments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Packaging:  783-FCPBGA (29 × 29 mm) package concentrates high integration in a compact form factor for space-constrained board designs.
