The device is built in 45 nm technology and designed for a sub-30 W power envelope while simplifying board design through high integration.

Key Features

• Core and Performance Eight Power Architecture e500mc cores at up to 1.5 GHz provide parallel processing capability for control and dataplane workloads.
• Memory Subsystem 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers with ECC and a multi-tier cache architecture (L1, dedicated L2 backside, and shared L3) improve throughput and data integrity.
• Networking I/O Integrated Ethernet support with eight 1 Gbps ports and two 10 Gbps ports for high-density networking connectivity.
• High-speed SerDes and Peripheral Connectivity Up to 18 SerDes lanes at multi-gigabit rates along with PCIe and serial RapidIO connectivity options to support high-bandwidth peripherals.
• Security Subsystem On-chip SEC 4.0 co-processor and security features including boot security, cryptography, a random number generator and a secure fusebox enable protected boot and runtime operations.
• Peripherals and Interfaces Two USB 2.0 ports with PHYs, DUART, SD/MMC, multiple DMA engines and common peripheral interfaces (I2C, SPI, GPIO) for flexible system integration.
• Package and Thermal 1295 FCPBGA package (37.5×37.5 mm) in a surface-mount form factor, specified for 0 °C to 105 °C operating temperature.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise and Service Provider Routing High port density and multicore processing enable packet classification, forwarding and services in routers and switches.
• Media Gateways and Access Gateways Integrated datapath acceleration and rich I/O support provide the performance needed for media signaling and LTE access gateway functions.
• Base Station and Radio Network Controllers Compute and I/O resources support control-plane processing and real-time dataplane tasks in wireless infrastructure.
• Embedded Networking Appliances Use in industrial, aerospace and defense embedded systems that require combined control and high-throughput network processing.

Unique Advantages

• Multicore Processing Density: Eight e500mc cores at 1.5 GHz deliver parallel compute capacity for mixed control and dataplane workloads.
• Integrated Networking Fabric: Multiple 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet ports plus high-speed SerDes lanes reduce external component count for networked designs.
• Built-in Security Engine: SEC 4.0, cryptography, RNG and secure fusebox support secure boot and runtime protection without separate security ASICs.
• Robust Memory and Cache Hierarchy: 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 controllers with ECC and a three-tier cache design improve performance and data integrity for demanding workloads.
• Compact High-pin Package: 1295 FCPBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) surface-mount package provides a high-integration solution for space-constrained board layouts.
• Platform-level Integration: QorIQ P4 platform features such as the CoreNet coherency fabric enable scalable on-chip connectivity and cache coherency across cores and accelerators.
