Key Features

• Core  ARM926EJ‑S 32‑bit processor core at 300 MHz; single core implementation suitable for control and application tasks.
• Coprocessor / DSP Support  Signal processing support via C674x designation and system control via CP15, enabling offload of compute‑intensive signal tasks.
• Memory and External Interfaces  SDRAM memory controller listed; datasheet series information also documents EMIFA and DDR2/mDDR memory controller options for flexible external memory configurations.
• Connectivity  Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (1), SATA 3 Gbps (1) and both USB 1.1 + PHY and USB 2.0 + PHY interfaces for high‑throughput peripheral and network connections.
• Display and Host Interfaces  LCD controller and Host Port Interface (HPI) for display and host communication use cases.
• Security  Boot security and cryptography features to support secure boot and data protection mechanisms.
• Package and Mounting  361‑ball NFBGA / LFBGA package (16 × 16 mm footprint) designed for surface‑mount assembly.
• Environmental and Grade  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 90 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental regulation adherence.
• Graphics Acceleration  No graphics acceleration—suitable when application processing focuses on control, connectivity and DSP tasks rather than GPU workloads.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Real‑time control and communications where the ARM core and DSP support combined with Ethernet and SATA connectivity enable local processing and data storage.
• Networking Gateways  Embedded gateway devices utilizing 10/100 Ethernet and USB interfaces for protocol bridging and peripheral attachment.
