The LX2080CC71826B supports DDR4 memory at up to 3.2 GT/s across two independent 72-bit channels (64-bit data + 8-bit ECC). This enables theoretical peak bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s per channel, validated under JEDEC-compliant operating conditions with appropriate voltage and temperature derating per NXP's electrical characteristics table.
Does the LX2080CC71826B support PCIe Gen4?
No, the LX2080CC71826B supports only PCIe Gen3 - specifically one 8-lane controller and four 4-lane controllers, all compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.1. Gen4 capability is not implemented in the SerDes PHY or root complex logic of this device.
How many Ethernet MACs does the LX2080CC71826B integrate, and what speeds do they support?
The LX2080CC71826B integrates 18 fully independent Ethernet MACs. They support speeds from 1 Gbps (RGMII, SGMII) up to 100 Gbps (CAUI-4, 50GAUI-2, USXGMII), with physical layer compatibility covering XFI, SFI, 10GBase-KR, 40GBase-KR4, and 25G-AUI standards as defined in the LX2080A data sheet Rev. 3.
Is hardware virtualization supported on the LX2080CC71826B, and which components enforce it?
Yes, the LX2080CC71826B supports hardware virtualization through the integrated Arm MMU-500 memory management unit, which enforces strict address space isolation between guest OS instances. This is complemented by IO MMUs for peripheral DMA protection and TrustZone-assisted secure world partitioning.
What is the function of the DPAA2 architecture in the LX2080CC71826B?
DPAA2 (Datapath Acceleration Architecture 2.0) in the LX2080CC71826B provides hardware-accelerated packet processing including WRIOP-based parsing/classification, QDMA for zero-copy memory movement, SEC for cryptographic operations up to 50 Gbps, and DCE for compression/decompression up to 100 Gbps - all operating independently of the Cortex-A72 cores.
