P5021NXN7VNC

The P5021NXN7VNC is a QorIQ P5 series PowerPC e5500 microprocessor integrating two 64‑bit cores running at 2.0 GHz in a 1295‑FCBGA package (37.5×37.5 mm). It combines general-purpose processing with high-performance data path acceleration and a broad set of networking and peripheral interfaces.

Designed for networking, telecom/datacom, wireless infrastructure and aerospace use cases, the device delivers a highly integrated platform for combined control, data‑path and application‑layer processing—reducing board complexity while supporting robust, industrial‑grade operation.

Key Features

• Core — Dual PowerPC e5500 64‑bit cores at 2.0 GHz with independent boot/reset and per‑core backside 512 KB L2 cache with ECC.
• Platform Cache — Frontside 2 MB CoreNet platform cache with ECC for coherent and non‑coherent transactions across CoreNet endpoints.
• Memory — Two 64‑bit DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM controllers with ECC to support system memory with error correction.
• High‑speed Networking — Two 10‑Gigabit Ethernet (XAUI) controllers and ten 1‑Gigabit Ethernet controllers with SGMII/2.5Gb/s SGMII/RGMII interfaces for dense network connectivity.
• Storage and I/O — Two SATA 3 Gbps controllers, two high‑speed USB 2.0 controllers with integrated PHYs, three PCI Express 2.0 controllers/ports, and enhanced SD/MMC and eSPI interfaces.
• Data Path Acceleration (DPAA) — Integrated acceleration including Frame Manager (FMan), Queue Manager (QMan), Buffer Manager (BMan) and hardware encryption/decryption to offload packet processing and storage tasks.
• Storage Acceleration — RAID 5 and RAID 6 storage accelerator with support for end‑to‑end data protection information.
• Peripheral and Control Interfaces — Multiple I2C controllers, UARTs, DMA engines, and an enhanced local bus controller (eLBC) for flexible peripheral integration.
• Security — Boot security, cryptography, secure fusebox, secure debug, tamper detection and volatile key storage to support secure system designs.
• Package & Thermal — 1295‑FC‑PBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) FCBGA package, surface‑mount mounting, industrial qualification and operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Routers and Switches — Packet parsing, classification and forwarding using integrated DPAA, multiple 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports, and robust DMA and queue management.
• Base Station Controllers and Wireless Infrastructure — Combined control and data‑path processing with dual cores and high‑speed interfaces for backhaul and edge processing tasks.
• Telecom/Datacom Equipment — Integrated memory controllers with ECC, storage acceleration and PCIe connectivity for resilient data center and carrier equipment designs.
• Aerospace and Industrial Systems — Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range support deployment in demanding environments requiring long‑term reliability.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated processing platform: Combines two e5500 cores, DPAA accelerators and a wide range of I/O to reduce BOM and simplify board design.
• Built for networking and storage: Multiple 10 GbE and 1 GbE controllers, SATA controllers, RAID acceleration and PCIe ports provide a comprehensive connectivity and storage feature set.
• Hardware acceleration for packet and storage tasks: DPAA components (FMan, QMan, BMan) and crypto engines offload common data‑path workloads from the CPUs.
• Security features integrated: On‑chip boot security, cryptography and secure key storage help implement robust device security models.
• Industrial temperature and RoHS compliance: Supports −40 °C to 105 °C operation and RoHS compliance for broad deployment in regulated environments.
• ECC memory and cache: L2 and platform caches with ECC plus DDR3/DDR3L controllers with ECC support enhance system data integrity.
