Product details
Overview
P1013NSN2EFB from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a single-core Power Architecture® e500v2 embedded processor for IP networking and media processing applications. It features 600 MHz core frequency, 256 KB L2 cache with ECC, DDR2/DDR3 memory controller, dual Gigabit Ethernet (eTSEC), and advanced power management including packet-lossless deep-sleep mode.
For engineers reviewing the P1013NSN2EFB datasheet, P1013NSN2EFB pinout, P1013NSN2EFB application, or P1013NSN2EFB equivalent, key selection criteria include its single e500v2 core performance envelope, TEPBGA-689 package compatibility, IEEE 1588 support in eTSEC, SerDes lane allocation (x4 PCIe + x2 SGMII), and absence of LCD/I2S/TDM interfaces compared to P1022.
Technical Context
The P1013NSN2EFB implements a single e500v2 core with 36-bit physical addressing, double-precision floating-point unit, and Signal Processing Engine (SPE) APU. Its memory subsystem includes a 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with ECC and 256 KB configurable L2 cache supporting SRAM/stashing modes.
Connectivity is delivered via two virtualized enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSEC) with TCP/IP offload and IEEE 1588 timestamping, six SerDes lanes multiplexed across PCIe (x4 + two x1), SGMII, and SATA, plus dual USB 2.0, SD/MMC, SPI, I²C, DUART, and eLBC - but excludes LCD, I2S, and TDM interfaces present in the dual-core P1022.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar embedded communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8548ECVRAGDB | Single e500 core, 1.33 GHz, no integrated SerDes; requires external PCIe switch and PHYs | Lacks integrated eTSEC and SerDes - needs more board area and power for equivalent connectivity | Select when legacy PowerQUICC III toolchain compatibility is required over QorIQ energy efficiency |
| LX2160A | 16-core ARM Cortex-A72, 2.0 GHz, integrated 10GbE, no Power Architecture ISA support | Higher aggregate throughput but incompatible software stack; requires full OS porting | Select for new designs needing >10 Gbps line-rate processing where ARM ecosystem alignment outweighs ISA continuity |
Compared with MPC8548ECVRAGDB, P1013NSN2EFB reduces BOM count by integrating SerDes and eTSEC; versus LX2160A, it preserves Power Architecture toolchains and deterministic low-power states but trades raw core count for per-core efficiency in control-plane workloads.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR3 memory speed supported by P1013NSN2EFB?
The P1013NSN2EFB supports DDR3-1333 (667 MHz data rate) with 64-bit bus width and ECC capability. Its memory controller delivers up to 10.6 GB/s theoretical bandwidth, validated for use with Micron MT41K256M16TW-125 and Samsung K4B2G1646F-BCH9 modules in industrial temperature-grade configurations.
Does P1013NSN2EFB include an integrated security engine?
The P1013NSN2EFB supports an optional integrated security engine with hardware acceleration for AES, 3DES, SHA, and RSA operations. This module is factory-configurable and must be enabled during boot via RCW (Reset Configuration Word); it is not active by default and requires specific firmware initialization to perform IPsec or SSL offload.
Can P1013NSN2EFB operate in extended temperature range?
Yes, P1013NSN2EFB is available in an extended temperature grade (–40°C to +105°C) denoted by the "E" suffix in the part number. The NSN2EFB variant meets this specification and is qualified for deployment in outdoor telecom cabinets and industrial control enclosures without forced cooling.
Is P1013NSN2EFB pin-compatible with P1022 processors?
No, P1013NSN2EFB is not pin-compatible with any P1022 variant. Although both use the 689-pin TEPBGA package, pin functions differ significantly - notably, P1013 lacks LCD, I2S, and TDM interface pins present on P1022, and reallocates SerDes lane assignments. PCB layout must be redesigned for P1013NSN2EFB.
What boot sources are supported by P1013NSN2EFB?
P1013NSN2EFB supports boot from NOR flash (via eLBC), NAND flash (with BCH ECC), SD/MMC card, and serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash. Boot sequence is configured via strapping pins and RCW, with primary boot image loaded into internal SRAM before DDR initialization and Linux kernel decompression.
