Based on Arm Cortex-A72 processor, NXP Semiconductors' Layerscape LS1046A, LS2084A, and LS2088A provide high-performance options for various applications.
The LS1046A processor integrates packet processing acceleration and high-speed peripherals. It is pin-compatible with LS1023A, LS1043A, and LS1088A SoC to provide performance scaling for 64-bit Arm core processors, ranging from dual-A53 through octal-A53 to quad-A7 while maintaining hardware and software compatibility.
The eight core LS2084A and LS2088A processors offer the advanced, high-performance datapath and network peripheral interfaces required for networking, telecom/datacom, wireless infrastructure, military, and aerospace applications. The next-generation datapath architecture combined with a powerful software toolkit provides a higher level of hardware abstraction and makes software development quick and simple.
