P2020NSN2KHC

The P2020NSN2KHC is a dual-core PowerPC e500v2 microprocessor in the QorIQ P2 family, offering two 32-bit cores running at up to 1.2 GHz. Designed for embedded communications and control applications, it targets networking, telecom, military and industrial markets that require mid-tier performance with integrated connectivity and security features.

This device combines a 45 nm low-power platform heritage with multi-protocol interfaces and memory controller support to simplify system design for control-plane and data-plane tasks where integration, performance and predictable thermal operation matter.

Key Features

• Core  Dual PowerPC e500v2 32-bit cores operating up to 1.2 GHz for multi-threaded or application-level parallelism.
• Memory  Integrated memory controllers supporting DDR2 and DDR3, with 64-bit memory controller architecture referenced for system flexibility.
• Security  On-chip security capabilities including cryptography and a hardware random number generator; security accelerator (SEC 3.3) is included as a co-processor function.
• Networking Interfaces  Three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with advanced packet handling features referenced in product documentation for networking use cases.
• Peripheral Connectivity  Dual USB 2.0 ports with PHY, DUART and multiple serial/peripheral interfaces to support a variety of system peripherals and I/O.
• High-speed I/O and Interconnect  Series-level documentation highlights support for SerDes, PCI Express and RapidIO interconnects for high-bandwidth subsystem integration.
• Package and Mounting  689-TEPBGA II (31 × 31 mm) package with exposed pad; surface-mount device suitable for compact board designs.
• Operating Range and Compliance  Consumer-grade qualification with operating temperature specified from 0 °C to 125 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Telecom linecards  Use the dual-core processor and multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports to handle control-plane tasks and packet processing in telecom and networking linecards.
• Industrial and Ruggedized Systems  Leverage DDR2/DDR3 memory support and robust I/O to build industrial communications equipment and embedded controllers.
• Security Appliances  Employ integrated cryptography and a hardware random number generator for secure VPN, firewall and gateway functions.
• Defense and Aerospace Equipment  Applicable where mid-performance processing and a wide operating temperature endpoint (to 125 °C) are required for less-protected outdoor or harsh-environment deployments.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced dual-core performance: Dual PowerPC e500v2 cores at up to 1.2 GHz enable both thread-level and application-level scaling without redesigning the board.
• Integrated security acceleration: On-chip cryptography and SEC 3.3 support reduce external accelerator requirements and simplify secure communications design.
• Flexible memory support: DDR2 and DDR3 controller support offers migration paths and design flexibility across memory technologies.
• Comprehensive connectivity: Multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports plus USB 2.0 and high-speed interconnects provide a broad interface set for networking and peripheral integration.
• Compact, industry-ready package: 689-TEPBGA II (31×31) with exposed pad and surface-mount construction eases thermal management and assembly.
• Regulatory and environmental compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.
