P2020NSE2HHC

The P2020NSE2HHC is a dual-core QorIQ P2 microprocessor featuring two PowerPC e500v2 cores running at up to 1.2 GHz. It targets embedded networking, telecom, industrial and defense/military applications that require mid-performance processing with integrated networking and security features.

Built on a low-power platform with a rich set of on-chip peripherals and memory interfaces, this device delivers a balance of single-thread performance, integration and system-level connectivity for control-plane and communications designs.

Key Features

• Core Dual PowerPC e500v2 cores, 32-bit, up to 1.2 GHz supporting symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing.
• Memory 64-bit memory controller with support for DDR2 and DDR3; front-side cache and on-chip cache architecture described in the QorIQ series.
• Security Integrated security elements including cryptography accelerators and a hardware random number generator; includes SEC 3.3 security coprocessor support.
• Networking Three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with advanced packet handling and IEEE 1588 timestamping capabilities as part of the QorIQ P2 feature set.
• High-speed Interfaces Integrated serial interfaces including PCI Express, RapidIO, SerDes (4-lane), and other periphery such as SD/MMC and SPI described in the family documentation.
• USB Two USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs for host/device connectivity.
• Package & Mounting 689-TEPBGA II (31 x 31 mm) exposed-pad BGA package, surface-mount.
• Operating Range Specified operating temperature from 0 °C to 125 °C for this part number.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Telecom Linecards — Suited for linecard controllers and mid-performance network elements where multi-port Gigabit Ethernet and packet handling are required.
• Control Plane Processing — Dual cores and strong single-thread performance make it suitable for control-plane workloads in communication systems.
• Industrial and Defense Embedded Systems — Applicable to power-sensitive industrial and defense use cases that need integrated security and robust interfacing.
• Communications Appliances — Ideal for devices combining routing, security and peripheral connectivity (USB, SD/MMC, PCIe).

Unique Advantages

• Dual-core scalability: Two PowerPC e500v2 cores enable symmetric or asymmetric multiprocessing to scale performance by thread or application.
• Integrated security accelerators: On-chip cryptography and a hardware RNG with SEC 3.3 support reduce external security offloads and simplify secure protocol implementations.
• Broad memory support: 64-bit memory controller supporting DDR2 and DDR3 provides flexibility for memory selection and performance tuning.
• Rich I/O and networking: Multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB 2.0 with PHYs, SerDes and interconnects such as PCIe and RapidIO consolidate system interfaces on-chip.
• Pin-compatibility and software alignment: Part of the QorIQ family offering software compatibility across P2/P1 families to simplify product variants and BOM reuse.
• Industry-ready packaging: 689-ball TEPBGA exposed-pad package and RoHS compliance facilitate integration into industrial boards and assemblies.
