• Cache Integrated L1 and L2 cache: 32 Kbyte instruction and 32 Kbyte data L1 caches, plus a 512 Kbyte L2 cache (8-way set associative) for reduced memory latency.
• Memory Controller DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus, up to 333 MHz clock (667 MHz data rate) and support for up to 16 Gbytes of main memory.
• Security Engine (SEC) Integrated security acceleration optimized for IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI, SRTP, IEEE 802.16e and 3GPP algorithms; includes an XOR engine for parity checking in RAID applications.
• Ethernet Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs) with SGMII support, capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and supporting TCP/IP acceleration, QOS and IEEE 1588 time sync features.
• Storage Interfaces Two Serial ATA controllers supporting SATA I/II (3 Gbps) data rates and XOR parity acceleration useful for RAID and storage subsystems.
• PCI Express and PCI Multiple high-speed PCI Express interfaces (PCIe 1.0a compatible) and a PCI 2.2 compatible controller for flexible expansion options.
• USB and SD Three USB 2.0 dual-role controllers and an enhanced SD host controller (eSDHC) with boot support for SD/MMC cards.
• Peripheral and Bus Support 133 MHz 32-bit enhanced local bus (eLBC), three-channel DMA, dual I2C, DUART and programmable interrupt controller (PIC) for system integration.
• System and Power Management Hardware power-management modes (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) with wake sources including LAN activity, USB connection, GPIO, timers and external interrupts.
• Package and Mounting 783-pin FC-PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained embedded board designs.
• Debug and Test IEEE 1149.1-compatible JTAG boundary scan and system performance monitor for debug, validation and production test support.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Security Appliances Ideal for routers, VPN gateways and firewalls using the integrated SEC engine and dual gigabit Ethernet controllers to offload cryptographic and packet-processing tasks.
• Storage and NAS Systems Use the dual SATA controllers together with the XOR engine for RAID parity and iSCSI acceleration in networked storage appliances.
• Telecom and Wireless Infrastructure Suited to baseband and control-plane functions that leverage protocol acceleration (IPsec, SSL/TLS, 3GPP, IEEE 802.16e) and multiple high-speed I/O options.
• Industrial Embedded Systems Combines deterministic processing with extensive peripheral support (PCIe, USB, eLBC, SD) for control, monitoring and data-logging applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Crypto Acceleration: On-chip SEC engine accelerates IPsec, SSL/TLS and storage-security algorithms, reducing CPU load and improving throughput for secure communications and storage.
• Broad High-Speed I/O: Dual gigabit Ethernet, multiple PCIe ports and SATA controllers provide flexible connectivity for networking, expansion and storage without extensive external bridging.
• Robust Memory Subsystem: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC and support up to 16 GB of DDR memory delivers error detection/correction and capacity for memory-intensive applications.
• System Integration: On-chip DMA, eLBC, USB, SD host and multiple serial interfaces reduce BOM and simplify board-level integration.
• Power and Sleep Modes: Multiple low-power modes and wake-source options enable power-managed designs for embedded and always-on applications.
• Production Test and Debug: JTAG boundary scan and system performance monitoring help streamline bring-up and manufacturing test flows.
