• Clock Speed — Operates at 66 MHz to meet control and communication timing requirements.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) — On‑chip CPM for communications handling and DSP‑style co‑processor support for communications tasks.
• Ethernet Connectivity — Multi‑port Ethernet support with four 10 Mbps ports and one 10/100 Mbps port for diverse network interfacing.
• Memory Support — Integrated DRAM memory controller to support system memory requirements for embedded applications.
• Interfaces — Additional serial protocol support including HDLC/SDLC for framed serial communications.
• Power and I/O — 3.3 V I/O voltage compatibility for standard embedded interfaces.
• Industrial Qualification — Qualified for industrial use with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 95 °C.
• Package and Mounting — 357‑PBGA (25×25) supplier package, 357‑BBGA package case, surface‑mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment — Ideal for embedded routers, switches or line cards that require multiple Ethernet interfaces and on‑chip communications handling.
• Communications Appliances — Suited to protocol gateways, modem controllers and serial framed‑link devices leveraging HDLC/SDLC and the CPM.
• Industrial Controllers — Used in industrial control systems that demand DRAM support, 3.3 V I/O compatibility and extended temperature operation.
• Embedded Systems — Appropriate for compact, integrated one‑chip controller designs where CPU, communications and memory control are required in a single package.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem: On‑chip CPM and communications co‑processor support reduce external component count and simplify board design for protocol handling.
