Key Features

• Core and Performance Dual PowerPC e500v2 cores at 500 MHz with a configurable 256 KB L2 cache that can be partitioned between cores or configured as SRAM/stashing memory.
• Data Path Acceleration (DPAA) Integrated QorIQ Data Path Acceleration Architecture to off-load protocol and packet-processing tasks, reducing software overhead in high-touch forwarding operations.
• Security Subsystem Integrated security engine (SEC 4.2) with support for AES, 3DES, DES and an RNG; provides hardware offload for IPsec, SSL/TLS and other common networking security protocols.
• Memory On-chip memory controller with support for DDR3 and DDR3L, providing future-proofing against memory-technology migration.
• Networking Interfaces Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with advanced packet parsing, flow control, quality of service features and IEEE 1588 time-stamping for precise timing applications.
• Peripheral Interfaces USB 2.0 with PHY (1), three PCI Express controllers and SerDes lanes (four lanes configurable across PCIe and SGMII), plus DMA for efficient data movement.
• Package and Thermal 457-TEPBGA I (19×19) 457-FBGA surface-mount package; industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C and industrial qualification.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise WLAN and Wireless Access Points Supports connectivity and packet offload for IEEE 802.11n/ac radio card interfacing via PCIe and SerDes lanes, enabling robust wireless data handling.
• Fixed Routers and Security Gateways Dual-core processing with DPAA and a hardware security engine enables efficient routing, firewall and VPN termination workloads.
• Telecom and Networking Linecards High-performance data path, multiple PCIe controllers and Gigabit Ethernet ports make it suited for linecard and edge networking designs.
• Industrial and Outdoor Networking Equipment Industrial temperature qualification and low-power 45 nm implementation allow deployment in power-sensitive and outdoor environments.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Data-Path Acceleration: DPAA reduces CPU software overhead for packet forwarding and security processing, simplifying implementation of high-throughput networking functions.
• Hardware Security Offload: SEC 4.2 with AES/3DES/DES and RNG provides cryptographic acceleration and protocol offload for IPSec, SSL/TLS and related security services.
• Flexible I/O and Expansion: Three PCIe controllers, configurable SerDes lanes and Gigabit Ethernet ports enable versatile connectivity options for add-on radio cards, WAN/LAN interfaces and storage peripherals.
• Memory Future-Proofing: Native DDR3/DDR3L support allows designs to adopt current memory technologies while accommodating future migrations.
• Industrial-Grade Operation: Qualified for −40 °C to 105 °C operation, supporting deployments in industrial and less-protected outdoor environments.
• Compact BGA Packaging: 457-TEPBGA surface-mount package provides a dense footprint suitable for space-constrained embedded boards.
