Key Features

• Core and Processing — Two PowerPC e5500 processor cores at 1.8 GHz with 512 KB backside L2 cache per core and three privilege levels (user, supervisor, hypervisor); independent boot and reset support and secure boot capability.
• CoreNet Fabric and Cache — CoreNet fabric for coherent and non‑coherent transactions plus a 2 MB frontside CoreNet platform cache with ECC to improve system throughput and interconnect efficiency.
• Memory — Two 64‑bit DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM controllers with ECC for reliable system memory support.
• Networking and Datapath Acceleration — Two 10‑Gigabit Ethernet (XAUI) controllers and ten 1‑Gigabit Ethernet controllers (SGMII, 2.5Gb/s SGMII and RGMII interfaces), plus Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) including Frame Manager (FMan), Queue Manager (QMan) and Buffer Manager (BMan) and hardware encryption/decryption acceleration.
• Storage and USB — Two SATA 3 Gbps (SATA 2.0) controllers and RAID 5/6 storage accelerator for protected storage performance; two high‑speed USB 2.0 controllers with integrated PHYs.
• Peripheral and System Interfaces — Three PCI Express 2.0 controllers/ports, enhanced SD/MMC host controller, enhanced serial peripheral interface (eSPI), four I2C controllers, flexible UART configuration and two 4‑channel DMA engines.
• Security — Boot security, cryptography, secure fusebox, secure debug, tamper detection and volatile key storage for hardware‑level protection.
• Package, Mounting and Temperature — 1295‑FCPBGA package (1295 FC‑PBGA, 37.5 × 37.5 mm), surface‑mount; industrial operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant and qualified for industrial applications.

Typical Applications

• High‑Performance Routers and Switches — Packet parsing, classification and queuing using on‑chip DPAA and multiple 10 Gb/1 Gb Ethernet controllers for aggregated throughput and deterministic packet handling.
• Wireless Infrastructure and Base Stations — Control and data‑path processing for base station controllers leveraging dual e5500 cores and high‑speed I/O.
• Telecom/Datacom Equipment — Multi‑port networking and storage functions with RAID acceleration, PCIe expansion and robust memory ECC for carrier‑grade systems.
