Quad-core, 64-bit ARM-based processors designed for enterprise edge industrial and networking applications QorIQ LS1043A and LS1023A Communication Processors The QorIQ LS1043A communications processor is our first quad-core, 64-bit ARM®-based processor for embedded networking and industrial infrastructure. TARGET APPLICATIONS }} Integrated services }} Branch office routers }} vCPE and other edge equipment }} Multi-protocol IoT gateways }} Industrial PLC and control }} Security appliances The LS1023A (two core version) and the LS1043A (four core version) deliver greater than 10 Gb/s of performance in a flexible I/O package supporting fanless designs. This SoC is a purpose-built solution for small-form-factor networking and industrial applications with BOM optimizations for economic low layer PCB, lower cost power supply and single clock design. The QorIQ LS1043A delivers a next-generation performance boost over dual-core ARM 32-bit products such as the QorIQ LS1020A and the LS1024A processors. The LS1043A takes ARM processing performance to the next level with up to 4x 1.6 GHz 64-bit processors and a large 1 MB L2-cache for the best CPU performance per watt in the value-tier line of QorIQ communications processors. This powerful CPU complex is coupled with the proven offload engines of the QorIQ Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) to deliver up to 10 Gb/s performance with minimal CPU overhead. Additionally, the QorIQ LS1043A processor continues the QorIQ legacy of I/O flexibility with up to 6x Gigabit interfaces, 3 x PCIe® interfaces, 3 x USB 3.0 interfaces and integrated QUICC Engine technology for legacy glue-less HDLC, TDM or PROFIBUS support. GENERAL PURPOSE PROCESSORS The QorIQ LS1043A processor leverages the 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 core to deliver leading edge performance with high energy efficiency. This new quad- or dual-core complex provides a generous 1MB L2-cache and a highly efficient eight-stage pipeline for maximum performance per watt. The QorIQ LS1043A processor uses the high performance CoreLink CCI 400™ coherent interconnect with the SMMU (ARM’s I/O MMU) to provide hardware enforced memory access controls for accelerators and peripherals operating on behalf of virtual machines running on the general purpose processors. The LS1043A processor also features triple USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY for a variety of storage, WAN and configuration options. Additional interfaces include QuadSPI, IFC and support for SD/MMC. In addition, Serial I/O includes quad I2C/SPI interfaces.

The Ethernet ports are integrated within the Frame Manager, which provides hardware packet parsing, classification, and policing, and even packet processing capabilities such as IP reassembly. Working with the integrated security engine (SEC 5.4), the Frame Manager can perform in-line IPsec, freeing up the general purpose processors for higher level, value added tasks.
