P5010NXN7VNB

The P5010NXN7VNB is a single‑core, 64‑bit microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors' P5010 series featuring a PowerPC e5500 core running at up to 2.0 GHz. It combines a high‑performance core with a tightly coupled cache hierarchy and integrated I/O to address compute‑intensive, control‑plane and industrial embedded applications.

Designed for industrial qualification and extended temperature operation (‑40 °C to 105 °C), this device delivers integrated memory controllers, multiple high‑speed networking and storage interfaces, and data‑path acceleration elements to simplify system design and improve throughput.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture PowerPC e5500 64‑bit core, single core at 2.0 GHz with a seven‑stage pipeline and microarchitecture tuned for low‑latency, single‑threaded performance.
• Cache and Performance 32 KB I‑cache and 32 KB D‑cache (L1) with 512 KB L2 per core and up to 2 MB shared platform (L3) cache; datasheet notes ~3 DMIPS/MHz per core and an addressable memory space up to 64 GB.
• Memory Integrated DDR3 / DDR3L memory controllers for system memory support compatible with common embedded DRAM configurations.
• Networking and I/O Multiple high‑speed I/O options including five 1 Gbps Ethernet ports and one 10 Gbps Ethernet port, plus DUART and GPIO interfaces for control and management.
• Storage and Peripherals Two SATA 3 Gbps interfaces and two USB 2.0 ports with PHY provide storage and peripheral connectivity.
• Data Path Acceleration Includes QorIQ Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) elements—frame manager, queue manager and hardware accelerators—to offload packet processing and streamline data movement.
• System Integration High‑speed SerDes lanes and multi‑protocol peripheral set (SPI, I²C, eSDHC, eLBC where applicable in the series) support flexible board‑level integration.
• Package and Mechanical Surface‑mount 1295‑FCPBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm) for board‑level assembly in compact embedded systems.
• Industrial Qualification and Environmental Industrial qualification with operating range from ‑40 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise Networking: Ideal for routers, switches and services platforms that require integrated packet processing and multiple Ethernet interfaces.
• Storage and Data Center Appliances: Suited for SAN controllers, iSCSI appliances and storage gateways leveraging SATA interfaces and DPAA acceleration.
• Industrial Computing: Single‑board computers, test and measurement systems, and robotics controllers benefiting from industrial temperature range and integrated I/O.
• Aerospace & Defense: Embedded compute tasks where a single 64‑bit core, deterministic performance and extended temperature operation are required.

Unique Advantages

• Single‑core 64‑bit performance: A PowerPC e5500 core at 2.0 GHz delivers predictable, low‑latency compute suited to control‑plane and real‑time tasks.
• Integrated networking and acceleration: Multiple Ethernet ports combined with DPAA elements reduce external accelerator needs and simplify board design.
• Rich storage and peripheral mix: On‑chip SATA, USB and DUART interfaces provide direct connectivity to storage and management devices without extra controllers.
• Industrial readiness: Qualified for industrial temperature ranges (‑40 °C to 105 °C) and supplied in a robust FCPBGA package for reliable field operation.
• Scalable memory architecture: DDR3/DDR3L controllers and up to 64 GB addressable space support a wide range of embedded memory configurations.
• Standards‑oriented platform: The P5010 series architecture and available virtualization and software ecosystem noted in the series datasheet facilitate deployment in established embedded stacks.
