Key Features

• Core & Architecture Dual PowerPC e500v2 cores (2 core, 32-bit) operating at 400 MHz; supports symmetric and asymmetric processing as part of the P1024 architecture.
• Memory & Cache Integrated DDR3 SDRAM controller and a 256 KB L2 cache that can be partitioned between cores or configured as SRAM. Each core includes 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches.
• Networking Interfaces Three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps) for multi-port network connectivity and switch/controller applications.
• USB & Peripherals Two USB 2.0 ports with PHY support and additional peripheral interfaces including DUART, I2C, SPI and SD/MMC elements referenced in the P1024 platform documentation.
• Security Acceleration On-chip security acceleration (SEC 3.3) with cryptography support and a hardware random number generator to assist secure communications and encryption tasks.
• High-speed I/O Platform-level features include SerDes and PCI Express lanes as documented for the P1024 family to support high-speed serial and PCIe connectivity.
• Package & Mounting 561-TEPBGA surface-mount package (561-FBGA, 23 × 23 mm) suitable for board-level integration in industrial systems.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Industrial-grade qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C for deployment in harsh environments.

Typical Applications

• Multi-service Gateways Use as the control and packet-processing engine in gateways that require integrated Ethernet ports and security acceleration.
• Ethernet Switch Controllers Acts as a switch controller with multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and DMA/packet-handling resources.
• Wireless LAN Access Points Provides control-plane processing, peripheral interfaces and security features for high-performance access point designs.
• Industrial Control and Embedded Systems Suitable for general-purpose control processors in industrial applications where extended temperature range and robust connectivity are required.

Unique Advantages
