QorIQ Communications Platforms
P1 Series
P1012 and P1021 single- and dual-core communications processors
Freescale QorIQ communications platforms
are the next-generation evolution of our
leading PowerQUICC communications
processors. Built using high-performance
Power Architecture^® cores, QorIQ platforms
enable a new era of networking innovation
where the reliability, security and quality of
service for every connection matters.
QorIQ P1012 and P1021
Communications Processors
The QorIQ P1 platform series, which includes
the P1012 and P1021 communications
processors, offers the value of extensive
integration and extreme power intelligence
for a wide variety of applications in the
networking, telecom, defense and industrial
markets. Based on 45 nm technology for
low-power implementation, the P1012 and
P1021 processors provide single- and dual-
core solutions for the 533 MHz to 800 MHz
performance range, along with advanced
security and a rich set of interfaces.
The P1012 and P1021 processors are
perfectly suited for multi-service gateways,
Ethernet switch controllers, wireless LAN
access points and high-performance general-
purpose control processor applications with
tight thermal constraints.
core processor supports symmetric and
asymmetric processing, enabling you to
further integrate your design with the same
applications running on each core or serialize
your application using the cores for different
processing tasks.
The QorIQ P1012 and P1021 processors are
pin-compatible with the QorIQ P1011, P1020
and P2 platform products, offering a six-chip
range of cost-effective solutions. Scaling from
a single core at 533 MHz (P1012) to a dual
core at 1.2 GHz per core (P2020), the two
QorIQ platforms deliver an impressive 4.5x
aggregate frequency range.
The devices in these two platforms are
software compatible, sharing the e500
Power Architecture core and peripherals,
as well as being fully software compatible
with the existing PowerQUICC processors.
This enables you to create a product with
multiple performance points from a single
board design. The QorIQ P1021 dual-
The P1012 and P1021 processors have an
advanced set of features for ease of use.
The 256 KB L2 cache offers incremental
configuration to partition the cache between
the two cores or to configure it as SRAM or
stashing memory. The integrated security
engine supports the cryptographic algorithms
commonly used in IPsec, SSL, 3GPP and
other networking and wireless security
protocols. The memory controller offers future
proofing against memory technology migration
with support for both DDR2 and DDR3. It also
supports error correction codes, a baseline
requirement for any high-reliability system.
