NXP LS1043AXE7QQB 1.6GHz 64-Bit Quad-Core Layerscape Processors

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd, as a well-known distributor of electronic components at home and abroad, now has the advantage of supplying NXP LS1043AXE7QQB 1.6GHz 64-bit quad-core Layerscape processor, which provides powerful core processing solutions for network communications, industrial control, edge computing and other fields.

LS1043AXE7QQB Overview
LS1043AXE7QQB processor was NXP's first quad-core, 64-bit Arm®-based processor for embedded networking. LS1043AXE7QQB deliver greater than 10 Gbps of performance in a flexible I/O package supporting fanless designs. This SoC is a purpose-built solution for small-form-factor networking, industrial and automotive applications with BOM optimizations for economical low layer PCB, lower-cost power supply and single clock design.

The new 0.9V versions of the LS1043AXE7QQB deliver additional power savings for applications such as Wireless LAN and to Power over Ethernet systems. The 23x23 package options allow for pin-compatible design, enabling scaling to the LS1046A (quad A72 processor) or LS1088A (octal A53 core processor).

LS1043AXE7QQB delivers a performance boost over dual-core Arm 32-bit products and continues the QorIQ legacy of I/O flexibility and integrated QUICC Engine® for legacy glue-less HDLC, TDM or Profibus support.
