P3041NXE7MMC

The P3041NXE7MMC is a quad-core PowerPC e500mc microprocessor running at 1.2 GHz, packaged in a 1295-FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) surface-mount package and qualified for industrial applications. It combines four 32-bit cores with integrated datapath acceleration and a broad set of high-speed interfaces tailored for networking, telecom/datacom, wireless infrastructure and mil/aerospace embedded systems.

With multiple Ethernet ports, SATA, USB, DDR3/DDR3L memory controllers and hardware security features, the device targets applications that require high integration, multi-core processing flexibility and robust system-level security.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture  Four PowerPC e500mc 32-bit cores at 1.2 GHz providing multicore processing for control, datapath and application-layer tasks.
• Multicore Processing Options  Flexible operation modes including symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing, and the option to run cores OS-less with a simple scheduler as outlined in the product brief.
• Memory & Storage  Integrated DDR3 and DDR3L memory controllers and dual SATA 3 Gbps ports for local storage and high-speed data buffering.
• Networking & High-Speed I/O  Five 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces plus one 10 Gbps Ethernet port; additional high-speed interconnects such as dual Serial RapidIO ports (documented up to 5 GHz) for backplane or DSP farm connectivity.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Two USB 2.0 ports with PHY, DUART and other peripheral interfaces to support common system I/O needs.
• Security Subsystem  Hardware security features including Boot Security, Cryptography, Random Number Generator and Secure Fusebox backed by an SEC 4.2 security engine.
• Integration & Acceleration  High-performance datapath acceleration logic and rich network and peripheral buses reduce the need for multiple discrete devices and simplify board design.
• Package & Environmental  1295-ball FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) surface-mount package; industrial operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C.
• Qualification  Industrial qualification for deployment in demanding embedded environments.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Switching  Multiport Ethernet and datapath acceleration make the device suitable for routers, switches and packet-processing engines.
• Wireless Infrastructure  Designed for base station controllers and NICs where multiple high-speed interfaces and Serial RapidIO connectivity are required.
• Integrated Access Routers & Storage Appliances  Dual SATA ports and multiple Ethernet interfaces support integrated access routers and storage-enabled appliances.
• Mil/Aerospace Embedded Systems  High integration, industrial qualification and broad temperature range suit rugged embedded computing use cases.
